To understand the rise and fall of Cobreloa, it is important to understand the rise and fall of copper, so I’ll bring a brief history of copper in Chile. Runners-up in Copa Libertadores: 2 (1981, 1982) Illustrious players: Charles Aránguiz, Alexis Sánchez, Eduardo Vargas, Ladislao Mazurkiewicz, Lucas BarriosĬhilean titles: 8 (1980, 1982, 1985, 1988, 1992, 2003, 2004) Beyond the famous Boca-River rivalry, clubs like Racing, Independiente, San Lorenzo, Estudiantes, and even Vélez can challenge for the top spot at the end of the season. You will face tough opponents on the way up, as Argentina has a lot of clubs capable of fighting for a title. The challenge here is straight-forward: bring a traditional Argentine club from the funnel of Argentina’s second tier back to the elite, and, hopefully, back to the glories of the 1980s. As South America is a continent moved by rivalries, the fans of Ferro Carril Oeste are going through the pain of seeing Vélez Sarsfield do much better, clinching titles here and there, while the Verdes do not play in the highest level of Argentine football since 2000. The Ferroviarios are far from being a powerhouse of any kind, but they had their glory in a somewhat recent past. Illustrious players: Héctor Cúper, Alejandro Mancuso, Gerónimo Saccardi Primera B Argentina (Argentina’s second tier) If you fancy bringing a continental giant back on their feet, this save is a no-brainer. The challenge is to financially rebuild a club that in real life is only now, after the arrival of Luís Felipe Scolari, bouncing back from Série B’s relegation zone, but too late to envisage a promotion back to the place where the fans were used to see the team. As a result, delays on the payment of salaries made it really hard to motivate the previously winner squad, relegated for the first time ever in 2019. After spending money they never had to build the squad that brought 20 Copa do Brasil home, making the “Foxes” the club with the most cup titles in the country, the wallets were empty when the check came.

Illustrious players: Alex de Souza, Dida, Heurelho Gomes, Jairzinho, Luisão, Nelinho, Roberto Perfumo, Piazza, Juan Pablo Sorín, Tostão
