clarkehwbu Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 YES! Just requested this at the beginning of January and was accepted.

clarkehwbu Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Youth Intake 2025/26 Season Youth Candidates We got a left wing in which we are short at currently after losing a few players in that position. Intakes will probably look a lot worse now and need more studying. I'll also be taking some of the others but not tagging, as my U19's is short of players at the moment. Key Players: Manuel Vitali (YP10a) He's very short and not very strong, but is currently rated our best AML. Still needs some work though but the first team experience should aid that. Luca Colombini (YP10b) Some work needed on some areas of his game and his personality. Off the ball he looks very good though. Alessandro Valentini (YP10c) A right mid is not what we need right now but he looks promising! Decent pace and I believe he may be our best free kick taker (not guaranteed).

clarkehwbu Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 International Update With the end of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers having passed I feel it would be a good time to update on that front. International Group As expected bottom, but we didn't expect to win a game! International Results As you've seen before we had the 2-0 win against Moldova, San Marino's first ever competitive win. Everything else pretty standard. Closer games with Estonia and Moldova, but outclassed none the less by the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkehwbu Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Pre-Season I just noticed that I hadn't put the pre-season results up, so here they are: Pretty routine as usual, SS Virtus game came during international break, hence why 33 year old Angelini played.

clarkehwbu Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 BOOM!!! What a season, we nearly messed it up near the end but the boys rallied in and ensured we won the title. Will put up review at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkehwbu Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 2025/26 Season Review We managed to win the treble!!! We started strongly but then started to crumble near the end, I was hoping we could pick ourselves back up. We did exactly that winning the title on penalties! League Table | League Results & League Playoff Results | Cup Results | Finances Awards | Stats | Team of the Season San Marino in Europe We did as above smashing Bala Town then losing to Malmo. Aab of Denmark sent Folgore/Falciano packing in the Europa League with two 2-0 wins. Slovenian side Olimpija Ljubljana won 5-1 on aggregate to Juvenes/Dogana. Zrinjski Mostar of Bosnia & Herzegovina won 7-0 on aggregate against surprise Europa League side SS Cosmos who qualified winning the cup. Leverkusen lift the Europa League beating compatriots Wolfsburg 2-1. It took Chelsea a penalty shootout to bet their compatriots in Man Utd after a 1-1 draw, winning the Champions League. Transfers We lost 12 players, a few backups but Crescentini (YP9c) was the hardest for me. Along with Ferrara and Gori. Under 19s They won the double, after dominating all season. Next Season Aims I want to go further in the Champions League and reach the Third Qualifying Round. I will also look to upgrade facilities now we are turning pro, and hopefully keep our better players. Another treble would be nice too, I guess.

Bedese Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Congratulations on the Treble, and, more importantly, on turning Pro! My word of advice would be to ignore the facility upgrades until you have a fair bit of extra cash saved up, one or two bad seasons without European money can really hurt now that you're a Professional club.

clarkehwbu Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 A slight scare but a 1-0 away loss means we go into the Champions League Playoffs and are guaranteed some sort of group stage for the first time in history. Steaua Bucuresti are what is between us and the Champions League Group Stage or the Europa League Group Stage. This was the best draw we could have gotten but we still have a very slim chance of beating the most decorated Romanian team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkehwbu Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Heartbreak!! We were so close and the Champions League dream is over.

sherwinriga Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Should have won against Krasnodar, but unfortunate defeat against Spurs may hurt chances of upsetting a big club. Good job in the Champions League qualifying, but you could have earn a large money if you beat Steaua. Well, very good in making it to the Group Stage as well. Keep up the good work!

clarkehwbu Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Youth Intake 2026/27 Season Youth Candidates Not a great intake with no much depth at all, although Giglio looks good! Fabrizio Giglio (YP11a) He looks very tidy and has great potential, could do with a slight bit of tutoring hopefully we can improve him. Matteo Mengoni (YP11b) Has got some work to do on his strength and marking but he looks like he could become a decent left back. Francesco Ragusa (YP11c) Again has quite a bit of room for improvement but could be a decent right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkehwbu Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 2026/27 Season Review Matteo Falco had an amazing season and previous season's I saw him as a fringe player! Alessandro Nanni was injured and Falco scored 5 goals in the Champions League game vs FC Lusitanos and from then he continued to score all season. He picked up young player of the season and fan's player of the season and broke a few records too! We won the treble for the 2nd time in a row and reached European Group Stages for the first time! Next season we go straight into the Second Qualifying Round of the Champions League. League Table | League Results & Playoff Results | European Results & Cup Results | Finances Awards | Stats | Team of the Season San Marino in Europe Well you've seen our progress already so i'll leave that out. Swiss side FC Zurich knocked out Juvenes/Dogana 6-0 on aggregate. Fiorentina were on the wrong side of a 7-0 aggregate score to Slovan Bratislava of Slovakia and so were FC Domagnano against FH Hafnarfjarðar of Iceland. Tottenham Hotspur beat AC Milan in the final of the Europa League 2-1 and Arsenal beat Shakhtar Donestk (yes the Ukrainian team, i'm shocked too) 2-1 to bring the Champions League to North London. We were the biggest over achievers of the tournament. Transfers Just some players we don't really care much for, now we are professional we can keep hold of our best players. I also loaned a few out to other San Marino clubs for first team experience. Under 19s They won the cup but finished 2nd to Juvenes/Dogana by 1 point, was a very close division this year.

clarkehwbu Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Youth Intake 2027/28 Season Youth Candidates 4 very nice prospects with nice personalities! Key Players Mirco Podeschi (YP12a) A decent winger but is very small with no strength. Has some work to do but could be a decent player. Thomas Pasolini (YP12b) We need a backup keeper tbh so he will slot in nice, has some decent stats to start with. Enrico Bonini (YP12c) Another right winger, a position we are pretty stacked in now. Moreno Sanderra (YP12d) Moreno looks like he could become a very good Central Midfielder, has some work to do though to challenge for first team.

clarkehwbu Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 2027/28 Season Review So we (only) won the double, as we fell short on penalties in the final of the Coppa Titano. We also had a very hard draw in the Champions League, facing FC Basel. Overall a very dominant season with our highest points haul. Nanni won all the awards this year and is now our all-time top scorer in the league. League Table | League Results & Playoff Results | Cup Results | Finances Awards | Stats | Team of the Season San Marino in Europe So you've seen we went out to FC Basel. Juvenes/Dogana lost 7-0 on aggregate to FH Hafnarfjarðar of Iceland. Polish side Zagłębie Lubin dispatched Folgore/Falciano 6-1 on aggregate and Pennarossa Calcio, who were the surprise European side, only lost 3-0 on aggregate to F91 Dudelange of Luxembourg. Man Utd beat Man City in an all Manchester final in the Champions League at San Siro. Sevilla beat Roma 3-1 in Poland to lift the Europa League. Transfers Lots of outs, with some players going on loan. The hardest to see leave our Centre Back Ciotti who never wanted to sign a contract, he's now in the Belgian Top Tier. Under 19s The U19s won the cup again and finished second by 2 points to Juvenes/Dogana in the league. Next Season Aims We have another facilities (Youth & Training) upgrade coming, I would like to get further in the Champions League too and hopefully Europa Groups again. See how kind the draw is to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some tutoring to be done though. Key Players Pietro Zavoli (YP13a) Not sure about him being a defensive striker I might retrain but will need to work on his shooting. Loving his teamwork and work rate though! Massimiliano Bonifazi (YP13b) This left back has some very nice physicals and again team work and work rate is good! Needs work on his tackling and defensive work all together I would say. Nicola Mariotti (YP13c) My favourite of the intake has some very nice stats already!
