The Eastern Bloc Challenge

Since the fall of The Soviet Union, Football in Eastern Europe has not had that much of an impact on Football. Since the break up of the Soviet Union, former republics have never made it to a Champions League final. Amazingly, CSKA Moscow and Zenit St Petersburg have lifted a UEFA Cup/Europa League trophy but the competition is still dominated by Western European clubs. This taste of victory has left the Eastern Bloc wanting more.....Here is your Challenge!

Aim: To guide a second division side to National glory by winning that nations main league. Once you have a foothold in your chosen country, then your goal is to bring them to European Glory, be it in the Champions League or Europa League.

But it doesn't end there, An Optional goal is to then build a national team from the Eastern Bloc and bring them to Glory on the world Stage!

Rules:-

Chose any team from the list provided below. You can change teams if you are offered another job but they must be in the Eastern Bloc. IE:- You manager Torpedo Moscow for 2 seasons and then CSKA Moscow offer you a job, you can accept, or if You're Torpedo Moscow and Poznan offer you a job, you can switch from Russia to Poland.

East German teams like Dresden and Hertha Berlin will not be included as teams available to manage

Wasn't that before 1993 though?
 
I am partial to a bit of Communism and a few Soviets, so I shall accept your challenge comrade!
I've been needing motivation lately!

I'll be starting with Dolny Kubin

I'll have a go at this in about 3 weeks!
 
SFM Senac...if i was doing the the Slovak League i would've chosen Dolny Kubin...next town down from where my fiance is from. I played about 7 season with Zilina, whilst it's easier to conquer the country, Europe is daunting, but if you have a world class youth set up, then the game churns out some good Slovak re-gens.

Ah your right it was, it was the late 80's my mistake. Getting started with this today. Picked FC Dynamo Bryansk, who seem to be awful, good challenge.

Brilliant stuff, Hopefully you can make it to the first division in one go, that's when the real fun starts lol
 
I managed to finish my first season in the second league from Romania. Unfortunately I play rarely and my updates will be also rare, but here are my results.

1st place and promotion

Absolutely fantastic stuff. What a good first season, wish mine was going as well
 
To be honest, Timisoara is a good team for the first division, not to say the second, but now comes the hard part. some of my best players left and the manager is not willing to invest even if I play in Europa League :(

this season will be a struggle to survive. I think the only way to complete this challenge is to find some young quality players from scouting.

I'll come back with news
