Football Manager 2014: 5 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

By Lee Warner /

4. Palermo €“ Serie B

Transfer Budget: £845k Wage Budget Available: 2.04k The Good: A great chance to restore a former top-flighter to where it belongs. Some fantastic players in the squad who are far beyond the level of Serie B €“ Edgar Barreto, Paulo Dybala, Abel Hernandez and Ezequiel Munoz to name a few. They also possess Kyle Lafferty (woop). The Bad: A weak league. This may be good in terms of your season expectations, but bad if you were hoping for competitive games against relatively big clubs. If you can get promoted however, it will all be worth it. Advice: Stick with what you€™ve got, save your money wisely and back the current crop. If injuries don€™t play their part you should be kicking it with the Milans, Romas and Juves in no time. Best Suited To: The Ambitious Manager €“ Someone keen to build a credible reputation lower down, before hopefully being headhunted by a bigger club. If you can impress at Palermo over 2-3 seasons, bigger opportunities should present themselves.
