Starting unemployed in FM24-especially with no coaching badges-means nobody will really pick you up. I knew that from previous experience

These 2 clubs were at the very bottom of the I-League which is India’s 2nd divison and in danger of being relegated to the 3rd tier so they need a relegation specialist(Think defend and counter and nothing else). Hardly glamourous but beggars can’t be choosers. I had to apply for both of them.
