Football Manager Player Becomes A Football Manager

21 year-old Azerbaijan born student Vugar Huseynzade has been appointed as the manager of Azerbaijani Premier League club FK Baku's 'A' side (the reserve team). His only other experience? Achieving glory in Football Manager the game.

Previously, Huseynzade earned a Business Management degree from Boston University and spent some time working for a US-based sports agency. He was hired by FK Baku back in February 2012 in advisory role, but during the course of this year he impressed the powers that be with his knowledge of the game scaling the lofty heights with his team on Football Manager.

Baku's 'A' side had been without a coach since the previous manager left two years ago. But so impressed were the club with Huseynzade's knowledge of the game, they gave him the job.

The story comes via ESPN, which even reported that Huseynzade was preferred to "former Marseille and France legend Jean-Pierre Papin”.
