So that's me not managing the national team for another year. To be honest, I think you need to have got to the top two tiers of this in order to manage the team. I asked them a week ago whilst the voting was still going on whether there were any teams I could manage and only got a response yesterday saying there were no teams left. Utter BS as I know for a fact I asked before others. Not the end of the world though, guess I'll just have Fridays off for a bit. Maybe they give priority to managers in countries with no national team as there is never any chance of them doing it otherwise..... I like that you think the admins of this game put any thought into this kind of thing, but it's literally first come first served (or it's meant to be). It's actually relatively good going for the NTs this cycle as I think only 3 countries aren't managed by a manager from the actual country . Of those 3 I know I asked the admins before at least 2 of them, with only you getting NZ being the one I may or may not have asked before as I don't know when you contacted them. Like I said before though, not the end of the world, I've managed NTs before and will do again, will just have some Fridays off. Im quite sure I asked first.... After all I didnt even get to apply normally for a position so what else was I to do but ask :-(( Next time you can have NZ ;-)

never said you didn't, just said i didn't know when you asked so couldn't comment on whether i was first or you were. i know 100% for sure i asked before dan and icthalian though, so find it odd that there were no teams left when they got assigned one. clearly not first come first served but hey ho, no great loss.

doubtful, especially as one of those managers, icthalian, also has plenty of NT experience (probably more than me tbf).

I doubt there's an explanation for it other than they forgot or missed the message, but whatevs

It is just to be around when they announce the coaches.
If you see an empty spot, send a PM you are interested.

And in my oppinion there is no reason for another vote - first in first served is fine.

I was just making a suggestion. I could care less, but it does seem kind of random. Why not make all the coaching jobs just random and the first manager to respond is awarded the job then? Hopefully you see my point objectively

Getting back to flag collecting I wish the tosser who keeps making an Iranian flag appear but never logs in a second time to accept a friendly would find something better to do with his life......
