Brehme because you're a walking football encyclopedia I need your help.
I'm looking for a Italian club preferable in Tuscany and playing in Serie C with a history of developing youth players. A good history in Italian football is also okay (like a falling giant but not the usual suspects like Palermo for example) and city with history (preferable Roman so I can visit the city when I'm on holiday) If there isn't one in Tuscany you can think of it could also be in the Southern region but the youth academy should be okay.
Arezzo has been relegated to Serie D and their customer service sucks so I'm looking for a new club to start a long game in FM22.
EDIT:
I'm looking at Bari, Siena, Pescara or even Catania as suitable options. Last options are Brescia or Parma but I feel like those two are further as a club as I'm willing to start with.
Prefered in Tuscany, proceeds to list Bari, Pescara and Catania as suitable options. Mind explodes
Siena is a good shout if you ignore their former Sassuolo role. Truth is, Tuscany doesn't have much else to offer. Nor does the B group in general. It's usually Marche/Abruzzo based rivalries (Ascoli, Ancona, Pescara, Sambenedettese, Teramo etc). It also contains Cesena, Modena and Reggiana who have some history.
The Tuscan alternative is Pisa in Serie B really.
The 3rd group has a shitload of southern rivalries and the 1st group occasionally has fallen decent teams.
From the 2nd apart from Siena in Tuscany and the others, you could consider Viterbese, but the city is nothing special iirc apart from its proximity to Rome.
From Group A, there's Pro Vercelli, the first real pro club in Italy.
There's AlbinoLeffe if you wish to spoil Atalanta's party in the area of Bergamo.
There's also Padova with some decent football history and a very nice town (close to Venezia, Verona, Ravenna etc). I think Virtus Verona is also there, so you could displace fucking Chievo from being the 2nd team of the city and hopefully win the Scudetto for a 2nd Verona team after Hellas, so it's more of a challenge than a history thing. Lecco is a nice town on Lago di Como, played in Serie A as well. There's Triestina with a big stadium and decent, mostly Serie B, history.
Padova also provided with the sport with some nice players. And on top of everything, you get to beat Juventus U23 squad.
But as I said, it's always the south, group C, that offers the best ones.
Palermo, Catania, Messina, Catanzaro, Avellino, Foggia, Taranto... there's also Campobasso if you're into the anarchist stuff.
The first three are obviously the main ones, but Foggia used to be Zemanlandia, Catanzaro and Taranto* have epic fans that deserve Serie A and Avellino used to be a nuisance for clubs to play against.
* had to share
I think most academies are rather shit on FM and they're all on a similar level, so your choice depends on name, location, current squad, fanbase and whether you like the colors or not
