We bring you a list of four fallen giants from Eastern Europe. These clubs once ravaged their domestic leagues, but are now mostly in the fight for places that lead to continental qualifications for second tiered European club competitions.
Can you make them dominant forces in their respective leagues again? And push them on the continental scene?
FK Partizan Belgrade ( Serbia, SuperLiga )
Winning the league title and ending Red Star Belgrade's streak is a primary goal here. Partizan Belgrade have a top-class youth academy, two graduates from their academy were named in the "fifty for the future" selection of UEFA.
HNK Hajduk Split ( Croatia, Prva Liga )
With a top squad like Hajduk Split have, they need to compete for the league title but have not won the league in over 15 years and media prediction for the current team is that their drought will continue. Winning silverware with Bili will be the primary goal if you choose to manage them.
Their biggest rivals, Dinamo Zagreb, are the biggest team in Croatia, so beating them and asserting dominance in Croatia will be a great achievement. Trying to progress in the European competitions will be essential for increasing the club finances in order to improve the club.
Trabzonspor ( Turkey, Super Lig )
Despite winning the league six times in the past, Trabzonspor have not won the league in over 30 years. Lifting the Turkish Cup last season was definitely a morale boost for the team and they will be targeting the league title next.
Trabzonspor have a great squad but there is still some room for improvement, although the current squad could fight for the league title with proper guidance.
However, to make this challenge harder, the Turkish club is in serious debt, like most Turkish Super Lig.
