The person behind the project
My football background
Hello managers! My name is Michael “Iri” Itner, and I live in the Czech Republic. Football has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
I still play football at a lower level, with no plans to stop anytime soon. In the past, I also played futsal. Some of my biggest football moments include invitations to two training camps with the Czech U19 national futsal team and many appearances in the Czech second and third futsal divisions.
In Football Manager, I often edit myself as a left-footed, agile inside forward — my real-life position — with strong dribbling, vision, and other skills developed through futsal.
How it started
From long days on the road to a football database project
I make a living as a taxi driver and spend a large part of my day in the car. That makes me really appreciate being able to switch off and dive into the world of Football Manager.
Thanks to my football background, life experience, and curiosity for football outside the mainstream, I came up with the idea to create this website.
Riddler’s Project is a place where you can explore football stories, custom databases, and competitions from even the most remote corners of the world.
What you’ll find here
Databases, stories, fantasy features, and football tools
The main attraction of the website is Football Manager databases, but Riddler’s Project is growing into more than just downloadable files.
You can find database pages, Scoutline stories, streams, a tournament calendar, Fantasy League features, account tools, Supporter Files, and support options.
Editor work
Thousands of hours inside Football Manager
I have spent over 6,000 hours in the Football Manager editor, and I still enjoy every minute of it. My goal is to create and regularly update as many exclusive, high-quality databases as possible.
