We start unemployed with no reputation or coaching badges, working our way to the top of the game with no say in transfers, contracts or staffing. In episode 1, we search for our first job, hoping for an interview and job offer to start our career!

Hey Dan, really glad you're starting in a bit more exotic location this year. Let's make it an additional rule that prevents you from managing in British Isles. You can even make a backstory to it. "Daniel Coady embroiled in matchfixing Sunday league scandal. Banned for life from managerial roles". Haha :)

[pierfrancescocosta]

I'm so excited to see you start a new journey, especially because you've chosen a league I've been loving more and more recently!

On a side note, you might be happy to know that Gifu is the club where none other than Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi started his professional career! It also looks like former Sligo Rovers player Ryan De Vries played for this club, but I don't know if you're familiar with him...

[danjuhl]

You could use the preset 4-2-3-1 Gegenpress. It has two defensive midfielders. Brilliant tactic, at least in any earlier FM version.

Lets go Dan!! Excited to see where this journey takes you!!

[Quintendejong]

Was waiting for this! Haven't followed the end of Lisburn, as I had no time at all. Fresh start is here.

Just started watching the series as a break after completing my first season in 24. Familiarity & cohesion seems to have a good bit of importance. Hoping that you notice it in later eps. Changing mentality & roles/positions really whacks familiarity. My best fortune has been to stick to a couple formations max, each with its own mentality for situation, and training the players to fit the formation & roles as much as possible. One interesting test would be sticking to formations & mentality consistency but if changing roles being consistent on the role used for individual players.

Can't believe I wasn't notified that this had started back up, so glad my fave FM series is back🥳

[adeyt]

great job there Daniel. So good to see you abroad in FM. I’m going Japanese 2nd tier for one save this year.

[jakeholt]

Superb, buzzing for my 4th edition of the HC 👏🏻

[KoenJoos]

Hi Daniel, nice start of the new series. I hope that Lommel SK or Bohemians Praha will be one of your clubs to manage.

Keep up the good work, Daniel.

If the squad was more balanced, Gifu would be safe and you wouldn't be required. It really does come down to the DoF. Good luck!

[Galactic_Umbreon_EFC]

Looking forward to it hope it's as exited as last year

[nevski]

Love this series so glad it's back.

That's a very interesting and blotted squad but I'm sure you will come up with a master plan

[Woppoz]

Awesome stuff, looking forward to it. :)

I don't think starting in a different country than England is unrealistic personally. Darlington may be bottom of the national league north but they still have a former player for a manager. I've always thought FM doesn't go low enough for a rise through the leagues save in England with no badges to start. The fans at Darlington would have heart attack if me, a support worker from Yorkshire, got the job with no past playing experience or any qualification to coach football at all. I reckon you'd have to go as low as tier 8/9 to be able to learn on the job. But anyway, good luck and most importantly, have fun. I'll be watching along religiously :)

[joshuabouley]

Dude thank you for not going straight to England like every other career, way more fun to start somewhere different

[stevedaytona]

Inevitable that you ended up in Japan!

[lukesdrums]

Great video, be very interesting to see where this save takes you

[RandomPunterUK]

I started my Journeyman save today, had a few interviews around Asia (& Wales), and the best offer was from, yes, FC Gifu!!!
Luckily I came in with them 11th in the table, not bottom like your save, and I managed to negotiate my wages up to 1K/week.

[jamesdulany]

I'm amazed that you didn't choose to be your club in their first top flight season in a while.
