Chat Manager Reputation

[Robbrown172]

This is one of the things that annoy me the most about Football Manager Mobile.

I was appointed manager of Nigeria in 2018, and managed to win the African Cup of Nations in 2019 and 2021, the Confederations Cup in 2019 and the FIFA World Cup in 2022.

Despite all this success, my manager reputation is still 'National', as it was when I first took over, and found it hard to get jobs pretty much everywhere (Even Hull City ignored me).

I'm pretty sure if this happened in real life, the manager would have a much wider reputation than just 'National'.

Does anyone else have problems like these?

I'm guessing managing in Africa isn't considered very prestigious.  Real life example could be Bob Bradley who came out of doing pretty well in Africa (don't think it was a national team, but I think the point still stands) but still had to go to some 2nd tier French club (where he also did well) before Swansea picked him to pretty much universal scorn across all of Europe.

Yes but I won the World Cup haha. Winning the World Cup with any nation would give you worldwide recognition, and not just nationally.

Ohh.. I missed that part.. yeah, I don't know then.

Winning the World Cup is usually credited to the players rather than the manager. Look at Joachim Low of Germany, to this day, he's described as an 'average manager' there hasn't been a long queue of teams looking to hire him. 

Vicente Del Bosque was described as a 'silly grandpa' after Spain won the world Cup in 2010, and again, club teams weren't exactly beating a path to his door 

Roberto Di Matteo Matteo won the champions League with Chelsea  and recieved absolutely no credit whatsoever. 

I mentioned that, as unless a manager is consistently successful, they don't make much impact. 

Being in Africa would definitely be a hindrance to you (as it was to Steven Keshi), but I'm not really surprised that you've struggled to attract attention from European clubs

Did you holiday through games? If so you probably didn't get the manager points for winning the cup(s), even if it shows up as you winning it in your trophy cabinet.

No, I managed all the games, including the friendlies against teams like Burundi

I get what you're saying, but surely winning 2 AFCON's on the bounce, a Confederations Cup and a World Cup would be enough to make even average teams sit up and think "Maybe we should go for this guy"

Strange ... @Alari

It's difficult to improve your reputation at any national team, and always has been from what I remember. Back on FMH2015 I won the world cup with Spain twice but the best job i could get was with one the better teams in the Spanish second division, Real Sporting Gijon.

If you have a save from during the world cup that would be really useful.
