I was always under the impression that both were full time jobs and you couldn't really swing both. I haven't tried this feature in FIFA 13 yet because it seems sort of unrealistic. I know it's just a game but stuff like that kind of bugs me. Just curious if this is ever done.

I don't know of any current full timers but Guus Hiddink was managing Russia while he was "caretaker" for Chelsea for the 2nd half of the 08/09 season after Scolari was sacked.

I was kinda disappointed too in the FIFA thing. I was getting some pretty good offers in about November/December of my first season despite getting knocked out of the CL in the group stage and being in like 10th place in the table with Chelsea. They should at least make you earn it.

Oh yea I forgot about Ol' Guus. Good shout Randy. And I agree it is too easy to get a premium international job on career mode.

I got a an email from my agent saying I'd have to take a lower level job my first year and have to wait if I wanted a big job. I turned down India and some scrub South America team then a month later I got offered the France and England job in the same week.

I think you can hold both a club and international job in FM, but it's ridiculously hard unless you have a small country.

Also it kind of sucks that there's no gold cup or african nations cup. Takes the luster off playing as the USMNT or a team like Ivory Coast
