This is my first game in and story about FM 11, so please do suggest ways of improving it. And since I love managing national teams than clubs where I just cannot withstand the transfers and the bickering that goes on all through the year-pure personal opinion-, I chose Wales- a team ranked in the eighties at the moment but with a great future.

The Dream of the Dragon
The Story of the Welsh National Team
TOSHACK RETIRES FROM FOOTBALL
Date: 25th of May 2010
Location: Cardiff, Wales.
The Welsh Football Association today announced in a brief statement the retirement of incumbent Welsh coach John Toshack. Sixty one year old Toshack, a Welsh international himself, had decided that the strains of staying and managing a football team was too much for him and that he had taken the decision after consulting various sources. The Welsh FA wished him all the best in his future, a sentiment reciprocated by the former Welsh boss later in the day.
The Welsh FA also indicated that potential replacements were shortlisted and they would be approached one by one.

Welsh FA Announce New Wales Coach
Approximately week after the departure of John Toshack, the Welsh FA have today announced the appointment of former English international Daniel Robertson as the new man in charge of the Welsh national team. Robertson, a thirty five year old defensive midfielder, whose international and club careers were cut off prematurely at the age of twenty seven following a deadly challenge sustained in a Premiership match for Liverpool against Blackburn.
Robertson was born Scottish but was called up to the England side at the age of 21 in a friendly against Argentina. He made his debut then as a seventy third minute substitute. He had then become a regular for the English side going on to make 35 appearances and scoring eight goals. His club career saw him turn out for Leeds United, Preston North End and finally at Liverpool-the club where his career ended.
After two years in hospital, Robertson joined Newcastle United as a youth coach before moving on a year later to Everton as a first team coach. His last promotion before the Welsh job was working as the Polish Under-21 team manager.
Robertson is delighted at getting his first job as a manager and even though he is English, he insists that he is now a 'Welshman at heart with an English passport.' Robertson's first game in charge will be a friendly against Azerbaijan at Baku.

I have altered history a little bit over here. John Toshack was replaced by Gary Speed in real life because of poor results in 2010 against Croatia and because of a loss in the opening game of the Euro 2012 Qualification.----------------------------
