Many will highlight the fact that you're undefeated as of yet, but I'm even more impressed by the phenomenal defense! Allowed only one goal in six games, impressive!

Yes, it's pretty crazy.
Okay, a little backstory: I'm actually playing two parallel saves at the moment. While I switched to Viborg FF, I also kept a save, where I stayed with Brøndby. And while I play with Viborg for the domestic games, the European results for this season will come from the parallel Brøndby save. Hope this is not too confusing. Of course, in the story this will be with Thomas Frank looking at the Brøndby results as an outsider, not being a part of the journey himself due to having left the club...
Anyway, long story short, while my Viborg save has been very defensive and lacked goals in both ends, it's the exact opposite in the other save, both with Brøndby and with the Denmark national team, whom I've started playing with on the side (would have preferred that to happen in the main save!!!)... Just played a Euros qualifier and beat Sweden 4-3, for instance. So a complete opposite experience than my current one with Viborg...

That's actually pretty clever; if you want to make some nice career jumps from one season to another. You know, succesful with Brøndby and Viborg, your figure of becoming a national manager in a campaign towards EURO 2028

Thanks mate. It was just my own workaround for wanting to play Champions League games with Brøndby, but at the same time wanting a new experience domestically. I was a bit nervous about whether Brøndby would go crazy in the transfer window (in my Viborg save), making the idea of parallel saves hard to perform. But they didn't do anything and have remained a pretty recognizable outfit.
Now that I was offered the Denmark job in the Brøndby save, I hope for the same in the Viborg save before the 2028 Euros. Time will tell if I'm going to be offered that job or not...
AGF and Brøndby jump over you. Maybe you're not obsessed with it, but from the story's POV all eyes will be on how well you manage compared to your manager's previous team: Brøndby.
With Brøndby in Champions League, Viborg keeping equal pace to such a team are both outstanding achievements by the manager.

'He obviously has the qualities to run a bigger team, go for a more prestigious trophy in club football: a bigger league, or European silverware - is Thomas Frank not considering such a future path?'

Yes indeed. I do have an advantage with no midweek games though. It's crazy easy to preserve a good match fitness for my players, so I can line up the same way week in week out. The way things are going, I'm possibly going to be playing European games next season too. That will arguably make things more difficult with a slim squad.
I'll save the media question for a response soon...
So now, it's Brøndby and Viborg brotherly on top...

Yes, a nice little title race going on between current and former club. Quite happy to see that the champions have remained competitive this season too...
A Brøndby double, now on top with Viborg (of all teams...). This is almost going to easy now. I think the next challenge might be outside Denmark to keep it interesting.

Maybe... I'm still not comfortable with my lack of goals though. I do only average one per game, so if I start conceding more, I could struggle to maintain my current position in the league. Things have become a bit too easy though, keeping a clean sheet in 8 of 10 games so far and leading the league, even though I chose a lesser club to postpone such a dominant position. We'll see what the rest of the season offers, and I kind of look forward to taking this club into European competitions too. Right now I can easily field the same 11 players week in week out. That is certainly going to change, if/when midweek games start piling up.
End of season it will become visible in my career too, but Denmark (as a country) is performing very decently in the UEFA Coefficient rankings with the current format. Don't know if it's more FC25 game or real life, but well done to such a modest country with all-in-all very modest clubs. I mean, Danish clubs never made it to a European final but lately (as a country) they are getting in the results and subsequent points.

I would definitely say it's an FC25 thing. As mentioned a few times in this save, Denmark apparently have 6 teams present in the UEFA competitions. I don't think that's very realistic, but perhaps the Danish clubs have just benefitted from the absence of numerous clubs in the game, making room for additional Danish clubs to take their place. Netherlands doesn't seem to have been given the same favour though.
In real life I think it's rare for Danish clubs to do anything worth mentioning in Europe. Except FC København, who have found the formula of being a dominant force domestically whilst also being able to adjust and be a 'tough to beat' underdog in European matches. Other Danish top sides have made it a habit to flop completely in European qualifiers, so even though Brøndby or FC Midtjylland can beat the Copenhagen side in the national tournaments, both are far off when it comes to the adjustment of playing in Europe with less ball possession etc.
What's leading in Danish league: Goal difference, or Head-2-Head?

Goal difference.
The best defence VS The best attack in this league.
For the sake of storytelling, such contrast is ideal
