    Signed some **** as manager whos only previous experience is football manager <laugh>

    Those who have been ensconced in the unrelenting grasp of a Football manger addiction will know that it can rob you of time, sustenance and all social interaction for extended periods of time. (But the feeling of winning the Europa League with Aldershot Town in a few seasons is totally worth it.)

    Fans of the popular management simulation game will be pleased to hear that the man hours skills acquired while playing have finally been validated by some kind of real world application.

    A 21-year-old named Vugar Guloglan oglu Huseynzade has been working in an advisory position with Azerbaijani Premier League side FC Baku since February. But with only Football Manager experience to his name, Huseynzade succeeded where other have failed by being awarded the manager's job. He told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (quote via Eurosport):

    "I've always wanted to work in football and have played Football Manager since 2002."

    According to globo.com, Huseynzade beat candidates such as 1991 European Footballer of the Year Jean-Pierre Papin to the job, even though the Frenchman has actually managed several real teams.

    The youngster is aiming for Europa League qualification, but will have his work cut out for him with Baku teetering over the Azerbaijan Premier League relegation spots. And with actually having to talk to people and go outside.

    Gorgeous women in Baku and Azerbaijan in general.

    Think I may go for manager of a club based on my extensive Subutteo and Striker management experiences.

    That's amongst the most mental things I've ever heard.

    A guy I worked with sent in a CV for the Aberdeen managers job years ago citing his Champ Manager experience - guy was an utter fruitcake.
