paisleyroad 894 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Get the XBox out lads . . . there's hope for us all :lol: :lol:http://sports.yahoo....13724--sow.htmlThose who have been ensconced in the unrelenting grasp of a Football Manager addiction will know that it can rob you of time, sustenance and all social interaction for extended periods of time.(But the feeling of winning the Europa League with Aldershot Town in a few seasons is totally worth it.)Fans of the popular management simulation game will be pleased to hear that the man hours skills acquired while playing have finally been validated by some kind of real world application.A 21-year-old named Vugar Guloglan oglu Huseynzade has been working in an advisory position with Azerbaijani Premier League side FC Baku since February. But with only Football Manager experience to his name, Huseynzade succeeded where others have failed by being awarded the managers job.He told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (quote via Eurosport):"I've always wanted to work in football and have played Football Manager since 2002."According to globo.com, Huseynzade beat candidates such as 1991 European Footballer of the Year Jean-Pierre Papin to the job, even though the Frenchman has actually managed several real teams.The youngster is aiming for Europa League qualification, but will have his work cut out for him with Baku teetering over the Azerbaijan Premier League relegation spots. And with actually having to talk to people and go outside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barcelonabear 23 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's the Reserves Managers job he's been given. Think something's been lost in translation as it's more likely Papin was in the frame for the actual managers job before it went to Bozidar Bandovic. Though if he was in for the Reserve job then he really needs to sack his agent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeShoeShoe! 5 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I wonder who his backroom staff are.I'd have all my mates and team building excercises would be on the cards at least twice a week at the club's expense. Free bar! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,930 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 A school mate of mine applied for the vacant Sunderland manager's job (after Bob Stokoe I think) when he was 16. He was pretty serious as well. Needless to say................. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
