This is how the summer transfer window went. Majority of the players displayed are youngsters signed by the board. But I will tell you the signings that were mine. Ahmed Al Shamsi signed from Al Taawon FC for 63k pounds. Mohammed Al Buloshi signed for the club from Al Wahda (UAE) on a free transfer. Nejc Levec signed from Al Arabi (UAE) for 125k pounds. Essa Surour signed from Laval United on a free transfer. Luis Mendes signed from AVS SAD for 49.5k pounds. Faisal Al Shamsi joined the club on a free transfer. Sebastian Moya signed from Deportes Linares on a free transfer. Ourinhos joined from Motril for 24k pounds. Mohamed Kiza joined from Masafi on loan. Cavafe joined from La Habana on a free transfer. Notable departures include Alhassane Tamboura to CO Bamako for 1.4k pounds, Saeed Saeed to Punjab FC for 22k pounds, David to Al Baynounah for 7k pounds, three players, Uzor Akonnah, Ali Hassan Al Qallaf and Mohamad Ibrahim to Gulf FC on free transfers. Zach Verhoven went to Al Arabi (UAE) on a free. Essa Surour went to United Sports on loan. Saoud Obaid went to Al Jazira Al Hamra for 375 pounds. Adel Al Chadli went on a short loan but he was recalled.

What happened in Europe (2028-29 season)

End of season review. Finally some success at club level. We helped Al Dhaid avoid relegation from the UAE First Division. I stuck with the tactic which served me so well as Zimbabwe manager. I played a Gegenpress tactic with a 4-3-3 formation and it worked. I am thrilled for everyone at Al Dhaid, they worked so hard in the final 10 games. We got 17 points from 10 games as we lifted ourselves from the bottom of the league to finish in 11th position out of 16 teams. Probably if I keep saving teams like that from relegation I will get those relegation firefighting jobs. But yes, also I have an end of season squad report. I hope I can achieve more success.

The January transfer window has now ended at Al Dhaid and we bought 4 main players to help us avoid relegation. Tim Pfieffer came from Chemnitz in Germany for 6k pounds. Naldo came from Brazilian club JOI on a free transfer. Rashed Abdulla came from UAE based club Al Jazira Al Hamra for 26.5k pounds. Vanderlei Jose came from Brazilian club Jacyoba on a free transfer. George Anyanwu went to Dakkada and Bilal Chabbadi went to Al Nujoom on loan.

The tactic we will be using are a variation of formations with the Gegenpress style. It was successful when I was the Zimbabwe manager and I stayed as Zimbabwe manager for nearly 3 years, so I might as well continue with what made my previous team successful and implement this Gegenpress style onto this team.

I have a new job, I am now the manager of Al Dhaid in the UAE First Division. We have a transfer budget of 2 million pounds so we can do something. This is what the squad looks like. First we have to avoid relegation and then we can plan on progressing the club.

I have resigned as Zimbabwe manager after nearly 3 years in charge of them. I really enjoyed the project and I am glad that I built something. The reason I resigned is because my favourite club, Chelsea sacked their manager, Mauricio Pochettino on the save. I applied for the job. I am unlikely to get it but it has turned my head and I thought it was the correct time to leave the Zimbabwe National Team.

The November international break did not quite go to plan and we need a miracle to qualify for the African Cup of Nations as we need to beat Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast in our next two fixtures.

We started off with another African Cup of Nations qualifier games this September and October, two contrasting results, we definitely have the potential to make it to the tournament. We have been Zimbabwe manager for just over two and a half years now and we are doing well. Also England won Euro 2028 on the save.

This is how the fixtures in the World Cup Qualifiers went in June. We did well and we are giving ourselves a fighting chance to qualify for the World Cup.

What happened in Europe (2027-28 season)

We lost to Eritrea in a friendly. Also Ivory Coast won the 2028 AFCON. We need some wins and we need to do something in the World Cup qualifiers. I have been in the Zimbabwe job for just over 2 years now on the save.

This is what happened in the friendly against Cape Verde. We can do something in the upcoming World Cup qualifying games.

This is how the World Cup qualifiers started with Zimbabwe. Very close games, we need that cutting edge up front.

Knocked out of the African Championship of Nations by Angola. Well, we ultimately could have done better, but we move on. It has been decent at Zimbabwe so far and we are slowly progressing as a nation.

We did very well with Zimbabwe in the African Cup of Nations qualifying round but we finished 3rd. Unlucky not to qualify for the tournament.

What happened in Europe (2026-27 season)

I have to share this because this guy's name on my FM save is hilarious.

We played in a friendly against Congo and lost 4-3. It was a good game. However I am looking to make a couple of changes for the African Cup of Nations Qualifiers in June.

Couple of losses, but we will be fine. We still have a chance to qualify for the African Cup of Nations. This team seems to suit me and we are doing well here as the Zimbabwe National Team manager.

2 wins out 2 in the African Nations Qualifiers. It is time to kick on to the next level and build momentum with Zimbabwe. Also on the save Argentina won the 2026 World Cup.

Yeah I hope I do well with Zimbabwe first.

They all got relegated to non playable leagues on my save.

Thank you. My former team sacked me after 16 league games as we were bottom of the league.

June international break with Zimbabwe. We beat Reunion. Another win for us.
