So while Owolabi did earn an opportunity with Bromley through Football Manager, it is in more of an observational support role to gain experience, rather than being solely responsible for tactical decisions based on the game.
The impressive work of manager Andy Woodman and his coaching staff in masterminding Bromley's promotion cannot be overlooked or overshadowed.
Owolabi's position allows him to learn from those already well-versed in managing a successful team in reality as he aims to follow in their footsteps and progress in the coaching world himself.
It's an innovative opportunity for the Nigerian to get first-hand experience after honing his skills in the virtual dugout with Football Manager's acclaimed tactical depth.
