in love with the save I'm doing - ASD Castel di Sangro in the 6th tier of Italian football (will need a league pack if you want to try it out).

Subject of one of my favourite football books of all time (The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe McGinniss), Castel di Sangro is a town of around 6000 people in the middle of nowhere, Abruzzo - a mountainous province mostly made up of national parks and huge peaks, with a distinct lack of human life. Through some sort of miracle they made it all the way to Serie B in 1996, where they spent two seasons, with a largely homegrown squad - considered one of football's biggest ever miracles. They're also partly credited with sparking the careers of Vincenzo Iaquinta and Carlo Cudicini.

Fallen from grace since then, but I'm trying to pick them back up using almost solely the youth academy. Currently sitting top of the Promozione Molise in my first season. Also trying to bring in a few Kiwis while I'm at it - have 20y/o ex-Canterbury fullback Sebastien Schacht coming over next season from the US! 

Fantastic little town I implore you to check out.

Fantastic article on them, written yesterday, from the Daily Mail of all places?: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8155425/How-Gabriele-Gravina-led-Miracle-Castel-di-Sangro-battling-Italys-coronavirus-crisis.html
