Mercenary Challenge (A re do) FM 2021.

[Sahaj Oberoi]

These are the results in the friendlies against Malawi and Hungary. We won both games. In the Malawi game we had 55 shots on goal and 28 on target, we were insane in that game. How we did not manage to score more, I don't know. 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is how the managerial rich list looks now. Top of the list is Antonio Conte at Inter Milan earning 350k pounds per week. In second place is Diego Simeone at Manchester City earning 185k pounds per week. And in third place is Jurgen Klopp earning 175k pounds per week. Under Conte last season, Inter Milan finished 2nd in Serie A, won the Italian Cup against Genoa in the final and got knocked out in the Champions League first knockout round against Manchester United. Under Simeone last season, Manchester City won the Premier League, lost the European Super Cup to Chelsea, lost the Community Shield to Liverpool, got knocked out in the Carabao Cup third round against Arsenal, lost to Brighton in the FA Cup quarter final and got knocked out in the first knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. Under Klopp last season, Real Madrid finished 3rd in La Liga, won the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico Madrid, got knocked out by Leicester in the Champions League first knockout round and lost the Spanish Cup final against Barcelona.

 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I had an interview with the Racing Santander B team, I even got offered the job but I rejected it because of wages. Also this is the Nigeria squad for the friendly against Angola.

 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

We lost the friendly against Angola, it was a surprising loss but Angola played very well, so full credit to them.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

The African Cup of Nations qualifying group has been decided. We will face Gabon, Madagascar and Mauritania. Also this is the squad for the friendly against Senegal.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is what happened in the friendly against Senegal. It is a difficult period for us currently but I have confidence we can get through this.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

We will be facing South Sudan in the World Cup Qualifiers second round. Olumide Durojaiye is the new Nigeria Under 23's manager. This is the squad which will face South Sudan.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So first thing Alex Iwobi got injured so Peter Olayinka was drafted in as his replacement. And we beat South Sudan both times. We have now qualified for the third round and we will be facing Zambia, Zimbabwe and Cameroon.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is the African Championship of Nations 2028 group stage draw. We are playing with our B team. So we have Egypt B, Guinea B and Zimbabwe B in our group. Aniekpeno Udoh has chosen to represent Nigeria. Also the squad for the African Championship of Nations has been decided.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

Since the january transfer window started, I applied for many jobs and got an interview from Braintree, I then got offered the Montenegro job, I accepted it. I had a 71% win rate as Nigeria manager, I did relatively well. The pay rise was from 3.6k pounds per week to 4.7k pounds per week. And this is the Montenegro squad.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I had a few job interviews, few clubs approached me but I turned them down because of the wages on offer. Also there were a few injuries to my players.

You seem to be on a roll with the international jobs

Yes, they keep showing me the money. Montenegro's squad is objectively worse than Morocco and Nigeria but money talks.

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So this is the Montenegro squad for the game against Slovenia in the European Championship Qualifying Playoff Semi Final. It is going to be a good game and it will be my highest profile game in the save so far.

[Sahaj Oberoi]

We beat Slovenia in the European Championship qualifying semi final and we will now face North Macedonia in the European Championship qualifying final.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So we lost to North Macedonia in the European Championship Qualifying Playoff Final. We did not make it to the Euros. it is a bit disappointing. So close yet so far. The team is short on quality compared to the Nigeria and Morocco squads. But this is a real test of my managerial skills. A relatively smaller European nation have paid me good money to keep their team competitive.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So the European International League Division B group has been drawn. We are going to face Denmark, Serbia and Turkey in our group. There were also a few injuries we had to deal with.

What happened in Europe 2027-28 season (Part 2)

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I applied for a number of jobs as it is the end of the season and I received a few interviews with some of the clubs. I also got offered a few jobs. But I turned them down because of the wages on offer. Also this is the Montenegro squad for the game against Cameroon.

 

Edited September 5, 2022 by Sahajpal Oberoi

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So I again have been offered a few jobs but I declined them because of the wages on offer. We played a friendly against Cameroon and lost.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I got a couple of job interviews. I even got offered a job by one of the clubs but declined it because of the wages on offer. Since it is the summer transfer window and July has started. Let us have a look at the managerial rich list. So there are changes, Diego Simeone has been sacked by Manchester City. Top of the list is Antonio Conte at Inter earning 350k pounds per week. Second on the list is Jurgen Klopp at Real Madrid earning 175k pounds per week. And third on the list is a new entry, Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool earning 160k pounds per week. Under Conte, Inter won Serie A last season, got knocked out in the Italian Cup quarter final against Milan, lost the Super Cup final against Napoli, got knocked out in the Champions League first knockout round against Atletico Madrid. Under Klopp, last season Real Madrid came 3rd in La Liga, got knocked out in the Champions League first knockout round against Borussia Dortmund and won the Spanish Cup against Real Sociedad in the final. Under Rodgers last season, Liverpool won the Premier League, they also won the Carabao Cup, they got knocked out in the Champions League quarter final against Manchester United and they lost to Everton in the FA Cup semi final.

 

 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I got offered another job but declined it because of the wages on offer. But Sweden have won Euro 2028. They won the World Cup in my save before, and now they have gone on and won the Euros. They are becoming a powerhouse in international football.

 

Edited September 6, 2022 by Sahajpal Oberoi

[Sahaj Oberoi]

Also in other news Uruguay won the 2028 Copa America. Had to highlight this as many international jobs became available.

 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So I have left my role as the Montenegro manager. I managed only 3 games in the span of a little over 6 months. I had a 33% win rate as Montenegro manager. And I got the Colombia national team job. I also have a pay rise from 4.7k pounds per week to 5.5k pounds per week. The Nigeria squad may be the strongest team I have managed so far, but Colombia's squad is more balanced.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I was offered quite a few job interviews, but did not receive any job offers. Three players have decided to represent Colombia. Juan Esteban Higuita, Oscar Bernal and Mateo Gomez and I am thrilled to see that happen. 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is the Colombia squad for the World Cup qualifying games against Chile and Argentina. Let's hope that they go well.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So these were the results against Chile and Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers. They were two relatively tough teams and I am still searching for my first win as Colombia manager.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

Javier Baez has chosen to represent Colombia. Also this is the Colombia squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Uruguay. 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is how we played against Paraguay and Uruguay. We scored quite a decent number of goals but conceded quite a decent number of goals too. 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

Jose Cordoba will be representing Colombia. There were a few injuries. And this is the Colombia squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Ecuador.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

These are the results in the World Cup Qualifiers against Bolivia and Ecuador. Alfredo Morelos is getting on in terms of age but he has found some goalscoring form. We have made a very mixed start as Colombia manager.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

Victor Hugo Murillo has chosen to represent Colombia and I am thrilled that he is doing it. Also Gwangju offered me a job interview and also the job but I declined it because of the wages on offer.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

I have applied for many jobs since it is the January transfer window. I also got interviews from various clubs but I turned down the jobs because of the wages on offer.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So we got a few job offers. I was pretty close to leaving the Colombia national team, but KV Kortrijk offered me slightly less money than what I was being paid as Colombia manager so I declined the offer. I also declined two other offers. And there were a couple of injuries.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is the Colombia squad for the World Cup qualifying games against Venezuela and Brazil. I hope we do well.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

These are the results against Venezuela and Brazil in the World Cup qualifying games. We did well in both games. Happy with the resolute performances. In the Brazil game, we looked like we were outplayed but a last minute penalty saved us.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

What happened in Europe 2028-29 season (Part 1)

What happened in Europe 2028-29 season (Part 2)

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So I applied for a number of jobs. I got a lot of interviews and I was even offered the Chennai FC job in the Indian Super League but I declined it because of the wages. But then a few days later, the Cameroon job was offered to me. So I resigned as Colombia manager and took the Cameroon job. The wages are 6k pounds per week, 500 pounds more than what I was being paid as Colombia manager. I had a 37% win rate as Colombia manager. It is not too bad, solid but unspectacular. That Colombia team has some good players but not outright superstars. Anyway here is the Cameroon national team squad.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

We will be facing Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bisseau in our African Cup Of Nations Qualifying group. Also I had a couple of job interviews. And this is how our Cameroon side played in the friendly against Ivory Coast.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So now that July has started and the new season is about to start, here is how the managerial rich list looks like. Antonio Conte is top of the managerial rich list and is earning 350k pounds per week at Inter. Jurgen Klopp is 2nd on the list and is earning 175k pounds per week at Real Madrid and Vincent Kompany is 3rd on the list and is earning 165k pounds per week at Manchester City. Under Conte, Inter won Serie A last season, they won the Super Cup final against Roma, they got knocked out in the Italian Cup quarter final against Napoli, and they got knocked out by Manchester City in the Champions League first knockout round. Under Klopp last season, Real Madrid won La Liga, they won the Spanish Cup against Real Sociedad, they got knocked out in the first knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich and they got knocked out in the Club World Cup quarter final against Bayern Munich. Under Kompany, Manchester City finished 2nd in the Premier League, got knocked out by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup fourth round, got knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter final, and they won the FA Cup in the final against Norwich. They also lost to Liverpool in the Club World Cup quarter final. I am currently earning 6k pounds per week as Cameroon manager. We are moving at snail's pace towards the top but it is a long way from Wealdstone.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

Armand Ngomba has decided to represent Cameroon instead of France, so I am delighted about that. Also the CHAN tournament is happening and we are facing Chad's B team with our B team in the qualifying round. I was also offered the Newport County job but I turned it down because of the wages on offer. And USA won the Gold Cup.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is the Cameroon B squad for the CHAN tournament qualifying round. I can only choose domestic based players for the competition.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

We beat Chad B twice with our Cameroon B squad in the CHAN qualifier and qualified for the CHAN tournament which will be in 2030. 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is the Cameroon squad for the World Cup Qualifying games against Nigeria and Zimbabwe. There are some changes, I am hoping that my players can step up their game and do a good job.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So these are the results in the World Cup Qualifying games for our Cameroon side. We beat both Nigeria and Zimbabwe. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Solid performance from the team so far.

 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

This is the Cameroon squad for the World Cup qualifying games against Nigeria and Zambia. Hopefully we can continue the good form we have been showing lately.

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

So these are the results against Zambia and Nigeria. And yes my Cameroon side have qualified for the 2030 World Cup, so barring any opportunity that comes in which pays me a lot of money, I will be managing in the World Cup. This is by far my biggest achievement as a manager on this save. 

 

[Sahaj Oberoi]

We have got our group for the CHAN tournament. We have South Africa B, Sudan B and Zambia B in our group. Also we have got quite a lot of injuries in our squad.
