in my previous save I noticed sometimes other clubs were producing sammarinese youngsters, and generally of better quality than mine as they had better facilities and reputation. Soon I realised it happened when they had sammarinese staff (Juventus starts with a great GK coach from San Marino; Roma had hired another good one) or sammarinese knowledge (our parent club Cesena, long term link so can't be cancelled!).
So I thought this time I'd try to "force" this process by hiring the best staff from the best italian clubs as my NT staff (U21, U19, assistant, coaches): this way they improve their San Marino knowledge year by year, and pass it to their clubs thus improving chances of producing more (and better) sammarinese players outside our club!

Giusepper Baresi is now Inter's manager while Mauro Tassotti has been hired by Tottenham. San Marino knowledge bar close to max, we'll see what happens in the next years... Even a couple of decent SM youngsters from those reputable clubs would be a success and would make a huge difference for the NT!
