shaunvamos Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hey guys, Basically the details are in the title, I will be taking over the San Marino club team who currently compete in Italy's Serie D. I am able to manage them thanks to Riddler's league update which is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1198129403&searchtext=italy I will aim to rise through the ranks of the Italian league system, using only players from my academy. Here's a quick snapshot of the team: On top of club duties I hope to eventually take charge of the San Marino National Team and hopefully bring them some form of success. I have loaded the Italian and Sammarinese leagues as playable, as well as England, Spain, Germany and France as view-only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 This is the backbone of the squad, we look pretty solid across all areas of the park although 5 of the top 6 are getting on a bit in age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Preseason Not a bad preseason, that win over Hertha Berlin was amazing. Expected to be up there this season, but it looks like anyone of 8 teams could fight for promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 August 2017 Less than ideal start, but against 2 teams predicted to finish above us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 September 2017 Our poor start continues, but a win at the end of the month is a positive sign that could turn things around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 October 2017 Mixed month, at least we don't seem to be conceding goals, now all we need to do is score some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 November 2017 What an amazing turnaround, as I changed the formation and the goals flowed, putting us on the brink of the top half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Another solid month, for some reason facing the sack even though we are 8th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 January 2018 Undefeated in 2018 so far, but still 8th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanMarinoMan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Love your Andorra one so really looking forward to this. Although the league system has been slightly simplified. The usual Serie D has two teams go down and the next 4 fight it out in relegation playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 February 2018 We lose a close one and then come from behind to beat the team coming in second. Promotion is very much within reach of we keep this form going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 2018 Youth Intake The first intake, and I've gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised! There's a few more Italians than I expected, but in the long run that will be good. Loads of potential here, and the three with the most are Sammarinese!

shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 March 2018 A fairly easy March, and we made the most of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 April 2018 We keep winning, and with 4 games to go we are 7 points behind Metallica. Sorry, Matelica. It's possible, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Top 3 will be acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 On paper we definitely have one of the easier run ins given the fact that 3 of 4 are at home and apart from Francavilla they're in the bottom half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 May 2018 We drop points to Francavilla and that's essentially the end of our promotion hopes. Top 3 is my aim now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 2018 End of Season Review Decent enough end to the season, we didn't finish top 3 but then again at the start of the season we weren't expected to. Overall, really happy with how the season played out, if we get off to a good start next year we should contend once more. Key Players Absolute assist machine. Contributed quite well with goals and assists. This guy will be around for a while I think, he's very good for this level. Sammarinese Clubs in Europe La Fiorita Tre Penne Folgore/Falciano San Marino NT Close results, and a nice win over Gibraltar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunvamos Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 2018 Preseason Pretty solid preseason, pretty much got better the more games we played. We get put in a completely new competition and I believe we can mount a serious challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 2019 Youth Intake Upon negotiating a new contract I managed to get the junior coaching upgraded to excellent. This upgrade has definitely shown in this intake with quite a few decent players. There's a lot to like. There's much more to like about this guy, 18 determination, no second nationality, plenty of room to improve. He also looks decent, but must be tutored.

shaunvamos Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 March 2019 Our unbeaten run came to a dismal end, but we picked up again at the end of the month. I think Fano have all but sealed the win though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunvamos Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 End of 2019 Review Not a great way to end the season, but 5th place is still fine. I'm happy to spend at least 3-5 seasons in each division and build up from there. Key Players San Marino in Europe Libertas Folgore/Falciano La Fiorita National Team Couple good wins there. San Marino Calcio Internationals Alessandro Berardi 1M: 6 apps, 3 goals, 1 PoM, 7.06 AvR, 2 caps. Federico Santi 1B*: 1 app, 6.80 AvR, 1 cap. Matteo Manzaroli 1A: 7 apps, 1 ast, 6.85 AvR, 1 cap.

shaunvamos Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 2020 Youth Intake It's easy to be disappointed when the top 4 PA players all have low determination. Luckily we have enough senior players to tutor that out of them, and once that's out of the way they could develop into some really good players! Whoa. Once this guy gets tutored he will be amazing. He's already the best striker in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
