Best teams to manage in Football Manager 2024
- Loughgall FC
- Union Berlin
- Bromley FC
- Hellas Verona
- Sint-Truidense
- The Spartans
- Vasco da Gama
Loughgall
We open the list of the best teams in Football Manager 2024 with modest Loughgall FC, recently promoted to the Northern Ireland top flight. The club is based in the town of the same name, which has just 282 inhabitants.
At first glance, the club’s main objective is to remain in the top flight. But don’t think it will be easy, as the team has little structure, few fans and very little money to sign new players.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin have qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history and are certainly a good choice for anyone thinking of coaching a mid-table club in Europe.
Robin Gosens, Kevin Volland and Leonardo Bonucci reinforce the already interesting German squad, which also includes the excellent striker Sheraldo Becker.
Going far in European competition is an ambitious – and in some ways impossible – goal, but you can develop the club little by little and maybe win the Bundesliga in a few seasons.
Bromley
Bromley FC is a club that has stood out for its financial organisation in England’s fifth division. So much so that they have qualified for the play-offs twice in the last three seasons.
It’s true that the Londoners have been struggling to reach the fourth division, but you could be the perfect coach to take them to the next level. Definitely one of the best Football Manager 2024 teams to coach.
Hellas Verona
With over 120 years of history, Hellas Verona is one of Italy’s most traditional clubs. The team’s situation, however, isn’t the best, as they were almost relegated last season.
If you choose to coach the team, you’ll have to hire reinforcements and come up with a good tactical plan to avoid being kicked out of Serie A. The good news is that the squad includes young talents such as Josh Doig and Tomás Suslov, both 21.
Sint-Truidense
Sint-Truidense is a Belgian club, but it was bought by a Japanese e-commerce company. As a result, the board has signed a number of Japanese players, including renowned striker Shinji Okazaki, formerly of Leicester.
With the reinforcements coming directly from Asia, you’ll have the task of leading the team to the unprecedented top flight title – a feat that has never been achieved before. Arguably one of the best teams in Football Manager 2024!
The Spartans
The Spartans, a club that was initially formed by former Edinburgh University students, has become more structured over the years, more professional and is now a member of the Scottish fourth division.
The team’s financial resources are still quite limited, but you’ll have the help of experienced midfielder James Craigen to develop a good tactical formation and dream of climbing into the top flight.
Vasco da Gama
We finalise the list of the best teams in Football Manager 2024 with Vasco da Gama, which has been bought by an American company. Naturally, with more cash in hand, the Brazilian club has everything it takes to return to the glories of the past. As long as the coach does his job well.
With Dimitri Payet in the squad, and Argentinian top scorer Pablo Vegetti at the helm of the attack, the team’s squad is well-stocked. However, you’ll have to sign a few additions and nurture the team’s young talents if you want to be in a better position in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
