Rivalry

Perhaps the strongest rivalry Atomic Bitola have is that with cross-town rival F.C. Bitola Stars. The teams share a strong, yet special, rivalry because the clubs managers are best friends, but are very competitive when it comes to the crunch. Kremkovci and FK NAJDOBRI and Atomic Bitola also share a fierce rivalry for the same reason, but the stakes aren't as high when Atomic's face Bitola Stars.

Personnal

Jordan1

Manager - Jordan1 Oceania
Jordan1 learned about Hattrick through a few friends who work at a Melbourne-based radio station. Jordan received his team on the 14th of January, 2008, and named his first ever squad "Super Dud XI", but after two months, changed the team name to "TAS/VIC Greek Heroes". The youth squad remained as Super Duds Youth Academy, and will remain that way through the next (and last) name name change to "Dynamo Sparta FC". He, along with his team of coaches and trainers, have devloped, bought, and played a wide variety of players from various countries, and training them into the players needed for the team's style of play. Jordan has received his managers licence, and now aims to win the VI.897 league title again, after winning it first in season 23 (34).

Dimitar Zlatanov

Coach - Dimitar Zlatanov Bulgaria

Dimitar was recruited on 06-05-2010. Dimitar is the youngest coach the team has had, at 41 years of age (at time of recruitment) and is the strongest by far. He is a solid trainer, with passable leadership and solid experience. He is neither attack or defence-minded. He was brought in to help the club go through better development and help build the players abilities. The club wasn't right with Niel Rogers as coach, so this is why Dimitar was brought in. Neil ROgers has been demoted to assistant coach. Dimitar Zlatanov was born in Bulgaria.

Neil Rogers

Assistant Coach - Neil Rogers England

Neil was recruited on 06-07-2009, at the expense of previous coach, Leon Christensen. Leon was much loved at the club, but after his training skills fell from inadeqate to weak, the clb thought that they needed a new coach, and Rogers was the one. Born in England, Rogers is the new trainer on the block. He is neither defence or attack-minded, at the fans are starting to get to know him already. On 06-05-2010, Neil Rogers was sacked as coach and was replacedby Dimitar Zlatanov.

Leon Christensen

Assistant Coach - Leon Christensen Danmark

Leon has been at the club since the 17th of January, 2008 - 3 days after the team was put together. He has done well training the squad, and now has stepped down to let Neil Rogers come in. He was neither attack or defence-minded, and likes to look at the whole team all around the park. Christensen has been kept on the list as an assistant coach, and just in case Neil Rogers fails to perform, Christensen will be re-elevated back up to the coaching position.

Sparta have a very big board of technical staff for the players, with experience coming from all over the world, helping the manager and coaches improve the playing squad. Past players from the club such as Florian Gunn, Sebastian Ocampo, Omiros Charitopoulos, and Sam Ackroyd have joined the board, and they know how the club functions from being here seasons ago.
