Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) I explained in my previous thread that I had to replace my laptop so I am starting a new save now. It is a journeyman save. Edited August 4 by Sahaj Oberoi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 (edited) So this is my new club, Solin in the Croatian second division. Let's see whether we can make them a great club. This is what the squad looks like. Edited July 6 by Sahaj Oberoi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 We have signed an entire Hajduk Split second eleven and we have got some more players, Fernando Meneses, Siyanda Zwane and Christian Osaguona on free transfers. We also let a lot of players go out on loan, so I hope this balances out our squad well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 I have quit my job at NK Solin after just over 3 months in charge. To be fair things were not quite clicking and I needed to leave the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 I am now the new manager of Barito Putera in Indonesia. This is what the squad looks like and it is a fantastic opportunity to expand my football experience after managing a club in Croatia previously on the save.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 I resigned from Barito Putera after just about four and a half months in charge. I thought that it was an interesting experience to manage in Indonesia, but the quality from the players just wasn't quite there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 I am back in Indonesian football, and this time I am the manager of fellow relegation struggler in the league, Bhayangkara. We are 16th in the league and we need wins off our last four games to escape the drop. I hope we do it. This is what the squad looks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 We got relegated with Bhayangkara. The club reverted to semi professional status and I was offered a new contract with a transfer budget of 0 pounds. I resigned from the club immediately. I stayed there only for 13 days.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 I now have a new club. I am now the new manager of Baynounah SC in the UAE Second Division. I can only hope that things turn around in my career and I do well. This is what the squad looks like. After the career bruising experience in Indonesia, it is good to have a change of scenery.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 I now have a new job. I am currently the manager of Montana in the Bulgarian Second Division. It is an interesting opportunity.

sherwinriga Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 This is an interesting story that you have, which I'll be more excited to see how you'll get in as you have moved out from your former team to a new home. Can you tell what happened to these teams after you left, especially to Baynounah FC and who is their manager right now? I hope that you'll have a better journey that you have after the previous runs were ended abruptly. Good luck in Bulgaria! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baynounah SC have recovered quite nicely and are in midtable in the UAE Second Division. Bhayangkara are also doing well this season, they are 2nd in the Indonesian Second Division group stage. Barito Putera have been awful and are fighting relegation from the Indonesian Second Division. NK Solin are fighting relegation in the Croatian Second division this season as well. So not much better after an initial new manager bounce last season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 We got relegated on the final day of the season with Montana and I got sacked. Difficult to take, a win on the final day meant that I would have stayed up but it wasn't to be. I stayed at the club for nearly 6 months. Let's see where I go next. The crazy part was I got a new contract days before I was sacked. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Sacked by Chennaiyin FC after nearly 7 months in charge. Bottom of the league after 5 points in 11 games. To be honest we improved a lot over the summer but we could not register all the players, so some of the players were not of very good quality. Hopefully the next experience is better.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 You know how they say, "Go to a place where you are respected and celebrated than a place where you are tolerated." The opposition manager in my supposed upcoming game was absolutely taking the **** by admitting he lacked respect for me. If I am not in a league where I am wanted and where opposition managers wish they could play my team every week, then I am leaving. And that's what I did. I resigned as Warrenpoint manager after just under 3 months in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Sacked by Dolny Kubin after just over a month in charge. Got relegated from the Slovak Second Division. Can't seem to catch a break in management. I keep on repeating that I hope the next experience is better but it does not seem to translate onto the pitch. However, this time I am hoping for a club to believe in me and give me time so that I can build foundations at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Montana and Dolny Kubin got relegated to a non playable division. Chennaiyin FC survived in the ISL with a new manager. Warrenpoint survived in the Northern Irish second division with a new manager. Baynounah SC finished near the bottom in the UAE Second Division but survived. Bhayangkara got promoted from the Indonesian Second Division but Barito Putera got relegated to a non playable division. NK Solin finished midtable in the Croatian Second Division. As far as Japan is concerned, I am enjoying it so far and I am looking forward to seeing what I can do there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Mid season update. (2026 season) My first success story? I have gotten FC Osaka out of the relegation zone. We have won 4 out of our first 10 games and we have played really well. I am confident we will avoid relegation from the J3 League. Finally my style of football is working somewhere at the moment and long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 This is how the January transfer window went in 2027. Lots of incomings and outgoings in the transfer window.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Sacked by FC Osaka after just over a year. It was a success overall. Obviously I got sacked because I went on a 12 game losing streak in the league and it was deserved. But we had our successful moments as we avoided relegation in the previous season and I would say that was a major success because I had not kept a team up before that. Fair enough, the board decided to sack me. But by no means this job was a failure. I also promoted a lot of youngsters this season and while they have not been able to click, I have played my part in blooding them in. Now it is up to the next manager to unleash their potential.

WOW! That didn't last long after only just a year with a string of losing games, which I'm not impressed on how the second season goes. As far as concerned, how does FC Osaka would be like after you got fired and went to a different team in India. I hope that you'll also show some roster of it as well as how J.League looked like at the end of 2026 and mid-2027 season. Hopefully, you'll get a better job in Japan if you're willing to come back soon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
