Darren took charge at Serie A giants Fiorentina for an incredible 154 seasons, winning the league 151 times and earning legendary status.
The feat means he managed Fiorentina in real time for 173 days, 16 hours and 51 minutes – with the in-game year reaching 2163.
Unfortunately, Darren’s time with the Italians came to an abrupt end when he spilt liquid on his laptop – although he did manage to realise Pele’s prediction of seeing Algeria win the World Cup in 2034.
