Here are some of the results in the friendlies against Bahrain and South Africa. The 2034 World Cup groups have been drawn and we will face Jamaica and Spain in our group. I still can't believe I have taken UAE to the World Cup. I also took Cameroon I think to the World Cup but didn't actually play the tournament as we resigned from the job.

These are the results in the friendlies against Philippines and Uzbekistan. We won one game and drew the other. We are looking solid and now hopefully around the time the World Cup starts we are ready for the friendlies and eventually the 2034 World Cup.

We played a friendly against Germany and lost 7-0. We then moved on to the World Cup group stage and lost 2-1 to Jamaica and 6-0 to Spain in our group. My UAE side got knocked out of the World Cup in the group stage. But hey from managing Wealdstone in the Vanarama National League to managing a country in the World Cup shows that I have come a long way and hopefully there is more progress.

So it is that time of the year again. And it is where we talk about the managerial rich list. Top of the list is Antonio Conte at Inter Milan earning 300k pounds per week. Second on the list is Jurgen Klopp at Real Madrid earning 175k pounds per week. And third is Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool earning 160k pounds per week. Under Conte last season, Inter won Serie A, lost in the Italian Cup semi final against SPAL and got knocked out in the Champions League quarter final against Atletico Madrid. Under Klopp last season, Real Madrid finished 3rd in La Liga, lost in the Spanish Super Cup semi final against Barcelona, got knocked out against Barcelona in the Spanish Cup fifth round and got knocked out in the quarter finals of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. Under Rodgers last season, Liverpool finished 3rd in the Premier League, they won the Community Shield against Chelsea, got knocked out in the FA Cup third round against Leicester, lost the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City and lost in the semi final of the Champions League against Barcelona.

We played friendlies against Nepal and Mexico and we lost both of them. Managing this team is turning out to be difficult and it is quite a challenging project to manage UAE. The performances are worse than the ones at Cambridge United many years back and we need to do something to get back on track.

This is how we played in the friendly against Hong Kong. We were totally outclassed. And we need to perform better in the games we play now. Also the groups for the Asian Nations Cup has been drawn and we are in group B with Bahrain, Pakistan and Syria in our group.

We played friendlies against Germany and Argentina and we lost both of them. I assign friendlies against better teams because I want to see how we can get better at football and over time match up to those kinds of teams through a better mentality. Right now we are miles off and I am having a tough spell as the UAE manager. I also started looking for new jobs since it is January now and there will be jobs available mid season. So let us see how that goes.

We played a friendly match against USA. We lost the game. Also I received many job offers but I turned them all down because of the wages. Also we have decided the squad for the 2035 Asian Nations Cup.

We played a friendly against Belgium and lost that too. Our preparation for the Asian Nations Cup is frankly speaking really **** and I am worried about the performance in the tournament. Also I have been offered a number of jobs but I refused to take them because of the wages.

So I have been sacked as the UAE manager after 17 months in charge. A 9% win rate meant that things had to change. This was a worse managerial spell than Cambridge United and I was absolutely awful as UAE manager, no questions about it. Here's hoping my next managerial spell brings me some success. Now I really need it. Also South Korea won the 2035 Asian Nations Cup and South Africa won the 2035 African Cup Of Nations. I have also started looking for new jobs.

We played against Palestine and Pakistan in the 2038 World Cup qualifiers and we won both games. Before that a long time back we played a friendly against Oman after the Angola game and we drew that match. We are doing pretty well so far as Qatar manager, a new lease of life after the shocking performances as UAE manager.

I received some job offers and I declined them all because of the wages on offer. Our spell as Qatar manager is a success so far, since I did not have such a good win percentage with a relatively smaller football nation. And as far as clubs are concerned it is obviously when I was in charge of Hartlepool and won the FA trophy.

So @phnompenhandy said Qatar is a lower status job with high wages so it could be a trap. Anyway after 17 months as Qatar manager and a 57% win rate as the Qatar manager, Spain have hired me as their manager. I am now earning 58k pounds per week. My first truly big job at any level, unless Colombia and Nigeria also count. But Spain is a whole different level. Here is what the squad looks like.

Hey, great rise to be manager of Spain! But finally I do need to ask... as you can be both - national team and club manager - can't you just manage a club in addition to the national team? 

Thanks a lot, I don't want to do that though. The whole purpose is rising to become the richest manager in world football by any means. Now I have come a long way after nearly 16 seasons. So Spain are currently my biggest payday.

Also another thing to consider is that, the reason I have got the Spain job is because maybe the AI sort of figured out that I am an experienced international manager. Usually I don't get offered jobs like that. But in my current save I have managed a lot of international teams. El Salvador, Morocco, Nigeria, Cameroon, Montenegro, Colombia, UAE, Qatar and now Spain. That is a total of 9 international teams so far.
