Somewhere in a parallel universe, Diogo Jota has just led Telford United to the first Champions League title in their history, one year after doing the same in the Europa League.
Under their Portuguese coach, Telford — who had never played in the Football League before Jota took over — have stormed through the divisions of English football, establishing themselves in the Premier League and becoming a major European force by the early 2030s.
Sadly for Telford fans, their club’s rise is merely a product of Jota’s passion for the Football Manager computer game, to which he devoted some serious hours during the spring lockdown.
