A very successful career so far, especially what you acheived with Sporting!

Was Veloso a key man in your success with them?

[Terminal]

Yeah he is seriously unbelievable, his stats are through the roof. Daniel Carrico was key as well, i bought him for Arsenal for best part of £40m. Actually funnily enough I beat Sporting in the Champs Lge final with Arsenal, shows that they're still quality. Federico Laurito, is also an absolute beast up front for Sporting.

Arsenal, had a lot of money but I just dont like Arsenal much, they have a lot of crap as well. I brought in some good players, but Arsenal just didnt feel right. I've been putting pressure on the Ajax manager, Ajax have litterally won bugger all since I started this career, would be a challenge to get them back on track and secure my place in history. Inter Milan could be another avenue as Klinnsmann led them to a very mediocre season.

It's the one thing I regret on this version is not having a venture into European football like this. I have spent so much time committed to the AFC Hornchurch cause that it's affected my ability to do a game like this. Just reading this makes me envy you Terminal.

You must have been gutted to miss out on the 2014 World Cup with Croatia. Winning two Champions League trophies with two different teams is quite a feat. ;)

Updated up to 30.6.2016

Zab - Yeah it was tough call to leave Sporting knowing I had built such a strong team. But in the end I decided that a real manager would leave under these circumstances. I'm trying to play the game as realistically as possible, I guess. I regretted going to Arsenal originally, but now I'm glad I did because it has made this game much more interesting.

As for Champs League, just won my 3rd with Manchester City, first time they have won it, in fact until I reached there, they hadn't won a League title, which for a club with their resources was quite surprising. Think that I may stay at City until they sack me, or at least 4-5 years until a new challenge is required. Portugal I shan't leave until my country no longer needs me. I'm moving up the Hall of Fame list quickly, now 5th best ever. Luiz Felipe Scolari managed to grab top spot from Alex Ferguson before he retired, so will still take some beating as he went on to win a second World Cup with Brazil as well as few Copa Americas

I should of qualifed with Croatia, last game I needed a win at home to Hungary to go through, Darijo Srna got himself sent off after 4 mins and Hungary went 2-0 up, I pulled it back to 2-2 but Ukraine won their match to go through. Then I got Portugal, won the first leg 1-0 at home, but was beaten 2-0 away. Croatia's team was getting old and Srna really f***ed me over. Funilly enough we've been reunited at Man City.
