Career of Diego Martinez | Granada CF
Instead of starting with a club like I normally do, I am going to pick a manager who I think has potential and play out his career. I chose Diego Martinez, 39 year old manager for Granada this is early in his managing career. Martinez has been with Granada since 2018 with a contract that goes until 2022 as of now. Martinez has led Granada to their first ever finish in a European spot in La Liga as they will be playing in the Europa qualifiers in 2020/21.
I do not know much about Granada before this last season so I am not sure how the squad will look in FIFA or what transfers will be needed. Should be a good challenge against the top La Liga sides. I'm not sure how long I will stay at each job, but I do plan on moving up to bigger clubs as Martinez's career goes on.

You're right. If we miss out on the group stages, the season is going to seem like a big step backwards. It would be a shame to finally make it to Europe and then go out before group stages.
I'm not sure. I have tried International football in the past and never really got into it because the presentation has been so bland. Maybe if there are some updates this year to the mode, I might give it a shot down the line?
I'll follow regardless, I haven't done many career modes like this, where you move around, I find it hard to leave a team after I've invested into it
I like you are also already thinking of moving about already, if he continues to do well you imagine a club in Germany or England would hire him sooner or later
I'm hoping if I plan on moving around after being at a team for a certain amount of time, it will keep me invested in the career mode. I find myself growing bored of using the same players, playing the same teams over and over so I restart a career. This way, once I'm bored of LaLiga, I have options to move.
I'm not even sure the transfer funds Granada will have but I'm sure it won't be a lot. Should be a challenge in the first season.
I think I would like to end in England years down the road but who knows. I'm curious to see how good a team will be once I leave them. Will the AI controlling the team make them terrible or if I added enough good players, would Granada still be a good team without me controlling them?
Going back a few years I did a career where I moved jobs, took the Palace job about 6 seasons in and won the premiership. Then I left them and within two seasons they were in League one
Crazy to think they finished that high in La Liga, look like a team that should end lower mid table
Good to know about Herrera, I honestly only know about two of their players. I watched them a bit last year but outside of those games I do not know about them. Soldado was a flop at Spurs but loved by the fans, Kenedy I know from Chelsea and Newcastle but that was all I was really familiar with.
Right away I'm thinking the team needs a younger forward. I'll wait until I have the game to see if there is a younger forward in the squad that wasn't listed on the clubs website but a 35 and 38 year old forward are not great options.
Yup, that's the way I do it. If you get tired of your role as 'fictional you' at a club, you fly off.
The transfer window is closed and Diego Martinez has his squad to start the 2020 season. Martinez has insisted on a small squad to make sure everyone has playing time and nobody is left frustrated. LaLiga allows 25 players but Granada will be going into the season with only 22 players in the squad.
Players not shown above but currently in the squad;
GK - Andorinha - Only 26 years old, Granada will be looking to loan out the Portugal keeper.
CB - Bruno Morais - 22 years old looking for a loan move
CB - Pepe Sanchez - 20 years old looking for a loan move
CDM - Juan Brunet - 22 years old looking for a loan or transfer in January
CDM - Angel Montoro - The most shocking player left out of the squad. Montoro is 32 years old and not seen as part of Martinez's future team. The club will be looking to sell Montoro in January.
LM - Dani Plomer - 21 years old looking for a loan move
CM - Isi Gomiez - 24 years old with a contract expiring and not part of the future plans
So far Suarez has been great. Machis has been good but his fitness is an issue in the early stages.
