Muggert Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Stop 9 - 2026/27 - Metalist Karkhiv Uh oh... 9th club of my career. I turned down Metalist once and have regretted it since. They were back and I didn't hesitate this time. With a stadium and facilities like this I simply couldn't say no! Let's get it on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Update: I've signed some very promising players and I'm really looking forward to the seson to start. I'm at max allowed 7 foreigners in the starting lineup and it seems like Shakthar have all the best in Ukraine. Time to shift that balance of power! My depth in Ukranians is pretty good though. It's just that they are not star players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 HOF Update: It's five years since I left Sparta. Unfortunately I have not found any players worthy of the HOF from this stint. However, I found something interesting in Besiktas. Since I have not played with this guy, he's not entering the HOF. But I will still take the credit of finding him. I signed him for 700K once I was at Besiktas. He couldn't move to the club before he was 18 though. And as you all know I was fired a long time before that.

Muggert Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Update: A pretty tough draw for the Euro Cup... But oh the irony... Looks who has come back for another Bandini beating... Yup... Besiktas... Sometimes i love this game :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Update: Damn Shakthar are strong. They've amasses 32 points in 12 games. I'm in the hunt with 27. My only loss came 2-1 away to Shakthar. We've gotten a good start to our european adventure with victories over Besiktas(muhahaha) and Rangers, and a real beating by Stuttgart. We're just waiting for Shakthar to slip up a couple of times.

Muggert Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Update: Five games played in the Euro Cup. I'm second in group H. We have 7 points. So does Besiktas at 3rd. So we travel to Istanbul in the hopes of ending Besiktas' european campaign. A draw or a win will settle it in our favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Update: And we're through to the knockout phase! I had to be escorted out of the stadium by police this time. I'm starting to become a hated person in Besiktas :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Update: Things are pretty close here in the top of the table. Next up.. Metalist v Shakthar The winner here will take a big step towards the championship. Then... Dynamo Kyiv v Metalist All within one very important week. On another note we lost 6-0 on aggregate to Chelsea in the Euro Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Update: We're 13 point ahead of Kyiv at 3rd and 3 points behind Shakthar. The top teams we have left on the schedule are all at home.

Muggert Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 THE HUNT FOR THE OLD LADY Stop 9 - Metalist Kharkiv - 2026/27 - Ukrainan Premier League Squad - Table - Transfers - Finances - Facilities Final position: 2nd Ukrainian Cup: Penalty semifinal loss away to Obolon. Game ended 2-2 Euro Cup: First round knockout loss to Chelsea. 6-0 on aggregate Best result: 7-1 home win against Chernomorets Worst result: 2-3 loss away to Stal Alchevsk Top goalscorer: Henry Salami, 23 (20 in the league) Most assists: Stanislav Karataev, 13 (10 in the league) Highest Average rating: Serge Ngambi, 7.46 (7.59 in the League) 2026-27 Season Review: A pretty good starting season. I like to think It was us that pressured Shakthar into a record 79 points. We are satisfied with getting the points we got as we would have won more points than the team ever has before. Our european adventure finished in the knockout round as Chelsea(who were one of many great teams in the Euro cup) won 6-0 on aggreagte. In the cup. We lost in the semifinal to Obolon... Just awful... Player of the season: Henry Salami - AM L / ST - Caught my eye en Rostov. Great season by him. Other notable players: Serge Ngambi - D C - Signed halfway through the season for only 700K Brinquedo - M/AM LC - Started as a backup, earned a regular starting spot. Yuriy Andrievskyi - ST - The assistant manager wanted him out. I disagreed. A Monster in the air. 2027-28 Season Preview: With a couple of players coming in we could challenge Shakthar even further. I believe we can win the championship next season. The Champions League is only a bonus this year. In addition we will want to win the cup. However if the league is close come summer, we will sacrifice the cup. If I do not win a trophy I'll consider my future here. History: See second post.

Ukrainian Cup: Final loss, 1-0 to Shakthar Champions League: 3rd in the group stage Euro Cup: Second round knockout loss to HSV. 3-5 on aggregate Best result: 3-0 away win against Anji Worst result: 1-5 loss away to Dortmund Top goalscorer: Borislav Koychev, 36 (31 in the league) Most assists: Sergei Rudenko, 21 (14 in the league) Highest Average rating: Serge Ngambi, 7.73 (7.80 in the League) 2027-28 Season Review: The difference in the league came from our two wins against Shakthar. Before the season they lost their manager and the new tactic was easier to break down. In Europe we knocked out three different Russian team. We knocked out Spartak Moscow in the champions league qualification. In the group stage we sent Anji out and in the Euro cup we sent out Locomotive Moscow Player of the season: Serge Ngambi - D C - Just keeps on performing. Other notable players: Sergiy Rudenko - M/AM RC - Signed because he was ukrainian. Sure paid off big time Brinquedo - M/AM LC - Yet another strong season by the Bosnian playmaker. Borislav Koychev - AM L / ST - WOW... Quite simply! 2028-29 Season Preview: I have some good youngsters coming through and I hope I can implement them into the team this year. We could retain the championship, and qualify for the knockout stages of the champions league. Actually a cup win would be nice too. But..... If the right offer comes along.. It might be time to step into one of the top leagues. History: See second post.

Muggert Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 BREAKING NEWS: We've had a pretty good start in the League lying 6th after 6 games. Considering I'm reshaping the formation and the tactics I'm pretty happy with that. We've qualified to the Champions League and drew 2-2 against Chelsea in the first game. But..... This is gonna be the shortest stint in my career. The finances are really cribbling us. I had planned to give it at least a season and se how it went. However... After 2 months in Lille I get a job offer that is too good to refuse. During the summer I had applied for this club before Lille approached me. The chairman laughed off the interest from me. But now he's back and I accept immediatly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muggert Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Stop 11 - 2028/29 - Liverpool In my situation I feel bad for leaving Lille after only two months but I'm sure the fans will understand my decision. I mean.. How could anyone turn down a chance to manage at Anfield? Liverpool want me to focus on attacking football and creating stars from their youth academy. Their facilities aren't world class but I'll start expanding them at the earliest opportunity. The transfer window is closed so I could use some of my transfer budget on improving our facilities. Liverpool won the Premier League in 22/23 but that's the only league win they've had the last 15 years. Chance to change that. I get reunited with Dean Callaghan who I signed in Admira Wacker Mödling and who's in my HOF. The goal this season is champions league qualification. And then build towards becoming champions next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
