Another day, another challenge. This time we present you with the Neil Warnock challenge and all in all it's a fairly simple one. Having managed 17 teams (he managed QPR twice) he certainly remains well travelled and you'll need to be travelling too to complete this one.

Neil Warnock holds the record for most promotions in England with a staggering 8 where he won the playoffs with Notts County (twice), Huddersfield Town and Plymouth Argyle, finished second with Sheffield United and Cardiff City whilst winning promotion as champions with Scarborough and QPR.

Unlike the Roy Hodgson challenge there is no points system here as you are required to do ALL of the following to complete the Neil Warnock challenge. You must complete it in the order stated below.


The Challenge

Coaching Badges: National A

Playing Reputation: Professional Footballer

Win the Vanarama National (Any team)

Gain promotion from both League One & the Championship (Must move club and complete this part of the challenge with the same team)

Move teams and gain promotion from the Championship

Move teams and gain promotion from League One

It may look repetitive at the end but this is the Neil Warnock challenge so you must replicate everything in the order he did. In total you will have to celebrate promotion on 8 occasions with 7 different clubs. It may take a while to complete but it's a challenge we feel is well worth taking on!
