Season 1 2022/23
Competitions
Vanarama North - League Table
A decent first season in this league as we managed to grab 10th Place. We had some really strong spells of form and were sitting in the play off positions at one point. Overall a solid first season and a brilliant base to work from.
FA Cup - Lost in the 4th Qualifying Round to Boston United.
FA Trophy - Lost in the 4th Round to Solihull Moors.
Playing Squad
I am very happy with the strength of our squad and believe we have some good players who can definitely improve over time. Key men for me this season were:
Youth Production
A decent enough intake with one player who can have an instant impact.
Finances and Facilities
One of the key reasons I gave up with Cray was financially I just couldn't make any improvements. Here seems to be the opposite as we have managed to already get upgrades to our Youth Facilities, Junior Coaching Budget and our Youth Recruitment Network which is more than I managed in 6 seasons at Cray. We are still turning over a profit each month and I am hopeful for the future.

I have given up on my attempt with Cray. The loan for the new stadium meant the club was running at a constant loss and I just couldn't make any progress on or off the pitch. I am going to restart the challenge, and this time with FC United.

Cray Wanderers Season 4 2025/26
Competitions
Vanarama South - Table Another reasonable season but one where we started to look like a really good team at times. Another 17th placed finish doesn't look like much progress but I do feel we are on the cusp of making the next jump into the top half of the table soon.
F.A Cup - Our best performance yet as we made it to the 2nd round before losing to National League side Aldershot.
FA Trophy - Knocked out in the 2nd round by Salisbury.
Playing Squad
The team is getting better, it is just progress is incredibly slow due to the poor facilities and not great staff. We have 3 intake players who are now basically first team players. Charalabidis 23a is a Greek U21 regular and he is slowly getting better. Yaroshenko 24b is a Ukrainian U21 regular who has put in some stellar performances this season and I am hopeful he is ready for a breakout season. Our main man is Boateng-Gayle 24a, converted him into a striker due to our lack of them, and he has done really well. He managed to score 22 goals in 44 starts in all comps and I am hopeful there is more to come from him.
We still are struggling to get anyone through who instantly improves the side but this year we did at least get one player I think can have an impact. Jacob Yahaya 26a looks like he could be a decent player at this level in a few years time and will be getting some game time asap. The other elite talents were:
We also got through 2 CBs who are a massive 6ft 5 tall and although neither are rated as high potential I will try get a tune out of them as we lack depth at centre back.
Rankin 26e and interestingly Kwang - Jin 26l who is a South Korean regen.
Facilities and Finances
Another year of running in the red due to the stadium repayments, and we only have another 7 years left of that loan lol. The cup run helped a fair bit but if only we could have got past Aldershot and landed a big away day game then we may now be in a much better position. Our wage budget is being cut again, first season we had £5k and now its down to £3.5k.
Next Season
Another long season more than likely but I still have faith we can push on and improve some more.

Cray Wanderers Season 3 2024/25
Competitions
Vanarama South - Predicted to finish bottom again this season, I was confident we could survive again and we did so pretty comfortably. We started well with only 2 losses in our first 8 games but then came the horror drop in form and morale that saw us win just 2 of our next 18 games and I started to worry. I shifted the tactics around and have simplified them as I think I was asking too much from them and we have had a good run with 6 losses in our remaining 20 games. Our highest league finish of 16th, highest points total and highest wins is progress at the very least.
F.A Cup - Another embarrassing cup exit at the first hurdle to a side in a league below us.
FA Trophy - We got to the 3rd round then lost to Salisbury
Playing Squad
Another season and one which a few of our youngsters have finally started to develop a bit. We are losing 2 experienced heads to retirement this summer, Mccoy has been basically our only RB for 3 seasons and he will be missed as will Reid who has managed 15 goal contributions each season for us, something that is going to be hard to replace. We still have not had a natural striker come through an intake who could do a job for us, but Boateng-Gayle 24a is developing well in his new position and managed to bag 12 in 33 starts for us this season and I am hoping he can get a few more next year. I am not sure who will yet replace Reid on the left but whoever I choose will not be as good as him yet. This years intake looks ok on first look but again nobody who can really step straight into the first team. Potential Elite talents are:
Facilities and Finances
Nothing to note here other than the £6m loan for the new stadium has left us in a state and I cant see attendances jumping up enough to even pay for the loan itself. We move in this summer and hopefully having our own home finally improves our home form.
Next Season
Hopefully our financial problems dont effect us too much and we can push on with the development of our young players and try push on and finish a few places higher up the table. We also need to sort out our cup form and try put together a cup run to help the clubs finances.

Cray Wanderers Season 2 2023/24
Competitions
Vanarama South - Predicted to finish bottom this season, I went into it with just the aim of staying up and we just about managed it but it was a big struggle. We had some decent form in spells but then go on horror 10 game runs where we just cant do anything. However the struggle is a weird pleasure and the wins mean more because of this.
F.A Cup - An embarrassing cup exit to a side in the regional divisions.
FA Trophy - We got to the 3rd round then lost to Wealdstone.
Playing Squad
Intake Preview Intake 1 Intake 2 Squad Transfers Best 11
We finished 1 place lower than last season but I do feel as if the team has got better. Our youngsters are not very promising but should improve us a little bit more as they hopefully develop. This years intake was a bit better than our first one but we are still screaming out for a striker. The best of the intake were Boateng - Gayle 24a, Yaroshenko 24b, Morris 24c and Yoo 24d. With our complete lack of talent up top I am thinking to try Gayle up there and see how it goes. Our left winger Reid is 36 now and we have 2 decent left backs already so I will try Yaroshenko as a winger initially. Our best youngster from last season Charalabidis 23a played 35 times for us this season but hasn't developed as much as I hoped. He has however played 5 times for Greece's U21 side so I am hopeful he has some kind of half decent potential.
Facilities and Finances
The new stadium build in now just 12 months away but the loan taken out to build it means we are losing money every month. The board just pump money in every 2 months or so to even our balance out and thats how its been all year.
Next Season
I would love to see a big improvement but I am not hopeful. We still lack quality in a few key positions and need some of our youths to kick on a little if we are to start climbing this table.

Cray Wanderers Season 1 2022/23
Competitions
Vanarama South - Considering we were predicted to finish 23rd and spent a fair amount of the season in the bottom 4, finishing 18th can be seen as a good season. It was frustrating at times but a good spell of form in February and March was the key to us staying up as we managed to put together a 6 game unbeaten streak which included a brilliant 3-2 win against Bath who finished 2nd.
F.A Cup - A disappointing showing as we fell in the 2nd Qualifying round.
FA Trophy - Knocked out by Dagenham and Redbridge in the 4th round.
Playing Squad
Squad Transfers Best 11 Intake 1 Intake 2
As expected the team when taking over was thin on players and really unbalanced. I managed to kind of get a tune out of them but the intake was very badly needed. On first glance the picks of the bunch are Charalabidis 23a and Upton 23b who scored on his debut but I am going to need to have a proper look over the summer and try get a CB or 2 out of the intake as we lack depth there big time. Other than that there is a couple who could maybe strengthen us in the long term but nothing to be overly excited about.
Facilities and Finances
No money really and therefore upgrades will be a long way off. I did manage to complete 2 coaching licenses and start the National A License though.
Next Season
I am expecting another tough season. We struggled this season and I cant see the intake improving us that drastically that next season wont be more of the same.
EDIT:
A couple of days after the season has ended and we have big news. The clubs vision has mentioned building a new stadium since day one and its already happening with Plans Announced for a 12'243 seater that will be ready in 2 years time. That could be a massive help if we manage to get the fans in.

The lack of a youth team at East Thurrock put me off so I persevered with reloading and finally got Cray Wanderers. I wanted Cray Wanderers because they are a local side to myself and I used to play against the youth sides in my school days.

It seems like people always achieve the challenge when I'm about to hit the sack.
Well done, @BigJack. I'll add you to the hall of fame tomorrow. It's an impressive way to finish, and I love me some challenge Elevens.
Cheers. It has come a couple seasons earlier than expected. The game almost felt glitched during the 15 game win streak. We beat spurs 9-1 and were 7-0 up at HT having had 8 shots which is crazy. But its a great challenge.

Charlton Athletic 2048/49
Final Season/End of Challenge Report
Competitions
Premier League - League Table Results 1 Results 2
I can only describe this season as an odd one. We finished 5th last year, 11 points of Man City. In the summer City's manager left to take the Chelsea job who finished 7th which was odd enough. Even more odd was we absolute ran away with the league. A great start, beating last season 1st and 4th placed teams had me feeling positive and we just kept getting better and better. The fact none of the other sides seemed to really be playing well helped and at one point we were 18 points clear of 2nd place after a 15 game win streak which included conceding a single goal in 2 of those 15 games. We had a bit of a wobble when the Europa League knockouts started, losing to City, Chelsea, Watford and Everton but managed to pick our form back up to sealed the title with 3 games left.
F.A. Cup - Results
Disappointed to only get to the 5th round but the game came when we was in our wobble and Everton were the better side on the day.
EFL Cup - Results
A decent run to the last 4 where we faced a Southampton side who are inconsistent but really good on their day. They got the better of us on penalties in the end.
Europa League - Results
We had a tough group alongside Monaco, Sporting and RU Saint-Gilloise. We managed to brush aside Sporting and Saint-Gilloise but the games with Monaco were a lot tougher. We went through after coming 2nd and the dispatch Granada, RB Leipzig, Ajax. We faced Villa in the last 4 and after a 0-0 draw at home we drew 3-3 away and they managed to beat us on penalties.
Playing Squad
What can I say about this bunch. I have managed some excellent sides along this save and although they aint quite at the level of my Juventus and Atletico sides, they are definitely one of my favourites. The level of improvement over the last 18 months has been phenomenal and I may just keep playing on with them just to see how dominant they can become. Key men this season were
Darrio Moccia (AMR) - The right winger has been the catalyst in us going from mid table side to champions. His signing seems to have inspired the squad and he has had another fantastic season.
Anders Bonde (CB) - The Danish CB isnt one of my first choice pairing but with the extra games Europe brings has had plenty of game time and has been excellent when called upon.
Ruben Real (AML) - Was out of favour at times last season and at the start of this one and came close to leaving. I am glad I kept him though as he was brilliant this season.
Hall Of Fame
This has been super tough to do and I am not going to go just by ability but also by how influential they was at the time of me managing them.
GK - Daniele Greco (GK)
RB - Jose Campos (RB)
LB - Lee Tae-Suk (LB)
CB - Djoukalou Fofana (CB
CM - Gabriel Munoz (CM)
CM - Heron Ricardo (CM)
AMR - Tafael (AMR)
AMC - Louis Hughes (AMC)
AML - Ibrahim N'goran (AML)
ST - Marko Culum (ST/AMR)
Cape Town Spurs
Ibrahim N'Goran (AML) - was only with us for one season before moving on, but what a season it was. He was the main man as we managed to win a first DSTV Prem title.
Romuald Traore (AMR) - Another player who I managed for just the one season. But with N'Goran moving on, he made up for the goals and assists loss to lead us to a league and Champions League double.
Brandon Peterson (GK) - Signed on a free at the start of our first season in the Prem, he went on to make 144 appearances in total and was a mainstay as we conquered Africa.
Neil Zondi 22a (ST) - Part of first youth intake, he went on to become our main goal threat. He scored 63 goals in 93 games in all competitions.
Tigres UANL
Aldair Benitez (CM) - Only been in charge of him 6 months but this kid can go on to be something very special. Will look to resign him at some point in the future.
Dejan Joveljic (ST) - Was here when I arrived and has been sensational up top. 37 goals in 36 games meant he was a key part of our treble winning team.
William Ramos (AMC) - The American was one of our first signings at the club. 9 goals and 20 assists in 52 games doesn't justify just how important he was to us.
Miguel Rodriguez (CB) - Another player who was only with us 6 months. But the big centre back deserves his place, an average rating of 8.09 and 10 goals from 21 games is superb returns.
Guangzhou
Ibrahim N'goran (AML) - He was sensational for me at Cape Town and he has been on another planet ever since bringing him to Guangzhou. 85 goals alongside 69 assists in just 76 games is unreal.
Zhan Zhiqiang (ST) - Another player who's goal return has been spectacular. Signed for 1.8m the Chinese striker has hit 92 goals in 78 games.
Lee Tae-Suk (LB) - Wing backs are a vital part of my tactical system and the South Korean has played the role to perfection. 40 games and 17 assists is a nice return.
Neil Vargas (CB) - The American CB was one of the first players I signed as when I took over the side had no quality in defence at all. Alongside Tae-Suk, Vargas has been a major part of a defence that has broken records. we conceded 8 goals in 34 league games last season and at one point kept 14 consecutive shut outs with Vargas playing a key role.
Corinthians
Tafael (AMR) - Was a key player from the day I arrived, Scoring 60 and getting 34 assists in 92 games.
Jose Campos (RB) - The 16 year old played over 40 games for me and was brilliant.
Cristiano Moraes (ST) - Signed at the start of the second season for £6.25m he proved an absolute steal as he scored 44 goals in 60 games.
Feyenoord
Marko Culum (ST) - The striker was at the club when I arrived and instantly became a key player notching 99 goals and 20 assists in 115 games.
Mohamed Amine Belhajjam (GK - The GK was signed from Ajax just days after I arrived and proved a solid foundation of the teams progress. He averaged a clean sheet every other game over 3 seasons playing 98 missing just 4.
Ruben Mesquita (CB) - Was at the club when I arrived and proved to be a class act at CB or CM. Almost left after my first season but I managed to convince him to stay and he has been happy since.
Louis Hughes (AMC) - Another player who was at the club when I arrived and has been sensational for me. Has filled in at AMR and ST when needed and always done a solid job.
Atletico Madrid
Djoukalou Fofana (CB - The Spanish Centre back has been a mainstay of my time in charge. In my 3 full seasons he started 98 league games and averaged a 7.75 over them games, and also chipped in with 31 goals.
Daniele Greco (GK) - The American GK has been another mainstay of my side. Only missed 4 league games of my time in charge and I could make a highlight reel of some of the saves me makes.
Gabriel Munoz (CM) - Another player who was her when I arrived. He was part of 4 players on over £500k a week at the time and he was the only one I didnt get rid of. Proved a good decision as he has been excellent year on year.
Mauro Sanchez (ST) - The Mexican striker was the only one of these 4 I signed and he proved an absolute hit in Spain. 96 league goals from 120 games.
Bayer Leverkusen
Jesper Andrell (AML) - The Swede is a legendary figure in the game. I first signed him for Tigres years ago and he moved on to Man City and then Barcelona, winning 2 Balon d'ors and 2 Fifa mens best player awards along the way. When he came available for just 11m I couldnt say no, especially as we lost N'Goran in the summer and he was a direct replacement. He contributed an impressive 26 goals and 18 assists in 36 starts.
Nicolas Lopez (CB) - A Rolls Royce of a centre back he has been outstanding for the 2 season I have been in charge.
Joseph Mohammed (ST) - Led the line well and looks like he could be a real goal threat if he keeps on improving.
Juventus
Marko Culum (ST/AMR) - He was a monster for me at Feyenoord where I played him strictly as a striker. He has played there this season but also filling in at RW when needed and is a real superstar in either position.
Alexis Aguilar (AML) - The other baller from my Feyenoord side, the Mexican left winger has developed into one of the best players in the world and is so influential. Managing so many different sides and using basically the same tactics minus a few tweaks here and there has really opened my eyes up to just how valuable the left winger is in my system.
Greivin Jiminez (CB) - The Costa Rican CB is an absolute unit in the defence. Playing a key role in our 27 clean sheets in 38 league games.
Marseille
Simon Junghans (ST) - Signed as a back up but played a key role once settled into the side.
Marcelinho (CM) - The Brazilian has been brilliant in the middle of the park for us and runs games at times.
Sebastien Pinero (RB) - The young Spanish wing back is really developing into a brilliant player. Another season or 2 and he could easily be a world class player. Chipped in with 12 assists.
Charlton
Darrio Moccia (AMR) - The Belgian was the catalyst behind our title charge and had 2 fantastic seasons for us.
Jonathan Steindl (CB) - The Serbian CB has been a mainstay of our 4 seasons in the Prem and has developed into one of the best in the world.
Heron Ricardo (CM) - Another player who helped take us to the next level. The CM came in and shone in the middle of the park for 2 seasons.
James McAlister (AML) - Initially signed on loan as we sealed promotion to the Prem he played a key role for 5 seasons.

@BigJackLooks like you might just need one more season, despite your never wanting to leave us.
Im hopeful but not that confident. The extra games Europe brings, we should cope with better than last time due to a bigger squad etc but i really need to find a goal scorer if i am to challenge. My top scorer in the league last season was 13.

Our best Prem finish so far as we managed to grab 5th. We started hot and cold and it looked like it could be a tough season through Decembers bad form. But a few tweaks and we were up and running and come February we started to look unplayable.

Playing Squad
We are building what I think is a team that has the potential to challenge for everything in the next few years. We overhauled the clubs coaching staff last season and this has now really started to bear fruit with the players making some serious gains over the last 12 months. Our work into the clubs facilities has also come good as we have produced a player who has the potential to be one of the best of his generation. Mitch Dunbar (AML) looks a great prospect and I was planning on signing a new AML this summer but will focus on his development instead. This seasons key men were:
Heron Ricardo (CM) - Signed a few seasons ago and then loaned out due to no work permit, the Brazilian CM returned and walked straight into our first team. He was brilliant in the middle of the park and looks like he can be an absolute superstar.
Dario Moccia (AMR) - Signed in the summer the Belgian winger is everything I needed. He took a few months to settle but has been unreal since after Christmas. He finished the season with 14 goals and 9 assists.
Nick Cooper (CB) - Another stellar season from the English centre back and he looks a player we can rely on for the long term. Him and Steindl have formed a really good CB pairing and I am hopeful of keeping them or a few good years yet.

Its been a horrible season. We started poorly and didn't really get going until a decent run of form in November/December. The turn of the year came and we went back into "Cant win, Wont win" mode and it seriously looked as if we may be facing a relegation battle. A tactical shift back to the 4231 proceeded and we managed to avoid defeat in our last 11 league games to finish in a respectable 11th.
F.A. Cup - Results
Last seasons fairy-tale win was always going to be hard to replicate but we done well getting to the last 8 before losing to Leicester 4-2 AET.
EFL Cup - Result
A poor match against West Ham which we deservedly lost.
Europa League - Results
We done well to get out of a group containing Sporting, Shaktar and Plzen. We then saw off Anderlecht and PSV before falling in the QF to group winners Sporting.
Community Shield - Result
The season opener and we gave Man City a decent game but they was just too strong for us and them winning on pens was justice for a game they should have won in normal time.
Playing Squad
Young and high potential but still very naïve and I am debating with myself whether to bring in some experienced heads this summer or give them another season to develop into what I hope they can be. Key men this season were:
Nick Cooper (CB) - Signed in the summer from Wolves. The English CB had a really good debut season and at 22 should get even better over the next few years. He picked up the EPL YPOTY award and also chipped in with 6 goals but at 6ft 4, I am hoping to get more from him in that area.
Jonathan Steindl (CB) - The Serbian CB had another good season and has developed into one of the best young CB's in the world. He is also linking up really well with Cooper and I am hopeful they can both be mainstays for years to come.
Ruben Real (AMR/L) - The Portuguese winger actually started the season terribly and was out of the side for a bit before moaning about wanting to leave due to Porto showing interest. I managed to keep hold of him and Im glad I did as he really stepped it up after this and was a key reason to our good form at the end of the season. 7 goals and 15 assists from 37 starts is a decent return.
Next Season
This season has been a bit disappointing. Even though I know we over achieved last season, I still expected to improve and show some progress and we haven't really managed to do that. I do however rate my squad and am hopeful next season should be a lot better for us. We are moving back home following the completion of our stadium upgrade which will take the capacity of "The Valley" to 37008 from 24672. This should help us with some more income etc and we have also been upgrading the clubs Facilities as often as we can.

A sensational first season in the Prem ended with a 10th placed finish. We started terribly, picking up just 1 point from our first 7 games. 3 wins on the spin gave me hope before another run of 4 losses made me shuffle my tactics, I moved my AM to DM and we instantly improved, losing just 6 of our remaining 24 games.
F.A. Cup - Results
In what can only be described as a fairytail, we somehow managed to win the FA Cup in our first season as a Prem side. A generous run until the semi finals as we faced 2 Championship sides and 2 Prem sides who were in the championship with us last season. In the last 4 we faced Arsenal and put a super show and walk away 2-0 winners. In the final we faced Liverpool who are not the force they once were and a tight game ended 0-0 after 90 mins. We took the lead 6 mins into extra time only to be pegged back just moments later. It ended 1-1 after 120 mins and went to a dramatic penalty shootout that we managed to win 12-11.
EFL Cup - Results
A big win over Cheltenham before we was spanked by Watford.
Playing Squad
We needed a big summer as the majority of the squad from last season were just not good enough for the Prem, We bought in 20 players in total, some with an eye for the future but majority for now and they improved us immensely. I am confident we are building a really talented team here and with a good summer window, the future looks very bright. Key men this season were:
Jonathan Steindl (CB) - The Serbian was signed in the summer and has gone from strength to strength this season and looks a real player for the future. At just 19 I am hoping he can be the rock in our defence for years to come.
Ruben Real (RW) - Signed in January as our wingers weren't performing well enough, The Portuguese winger had an instant impact with 4 assists on his debut. He proved a shrewd signing as he finished the season with 4 goals and 7 assists in 17 starts.
Allan Jessen (ST) - Another January signing who came in and really improved us was the Danish forward. 12 goals in 17 starts is a great return and I am hoping for even more from him next season.
Next Season
Our first season in the Prem has been a dream and is going to be hard to match next season. Winning the F.A. Cup has seen us qualify for the Europa League which will bring in extra games and make our season that bit harder. Still we are building a very talented and young team here and with a busy window ahead, I am hopeful we can challenge for a top 10 place again and keep improving the young players we have here.

I was hoping for a run at the Play Offs but we started well and kept up our performance levels to the point where we looked like runaway leaders. The 2 losses to Norwich and then our poor form in March let Norwich and Brighton back in and it was all to play for heading into the Last Game. We pulled off a 2-0 win to seal the title and promotion to the Premier League.
F.A Cup - Results
A decent run which was ended by Bournemouth
EFL Cup - Results
We beat 2 Premier League sides in Bournemouth and Southampton but then couldn't get past Arsenal.
Playing Squad
We have built a decent side but one that needs major work to survive in the Prem. I didn't really expect us to perform so well but there is a lot of players here that wont be good enough and will need to be moved on. Key men this season were:
Jason Collins (CB) - The CB was signed from Man Utd on a free and started 26 league games after an injury disrupted season, he was solid when he did play and even won the EFL Young POTY award.
Max Hall (RW) - Another stellar season from the RW who contributed 18 goals and 21 assists in 43 starts. I am going to give him a chance next season but dont think he will cut it in the league above sadly.
James McAlister (LW) - The Leicester loanee has been crucial to our promotion, popping up with 12 goals but all were at vital times or in big games. I will look to get him back next season depending on who's available.
Next Season
Promotion to the Prem has come a season ahead of what I really expected and I think we are in for a real struggle next season as we need 8 or 9 new players if we are to realistically survive. I have built a huge shortlist of young but high potential players over the last few seasons at Marseille and Juventus, I am hoping to put this to good use this summer and get some gems in who we can keep long term and help the club progress.

@BigJackI admire the way you're planning to finish the challenge.
Most people so near the finish just want to get it over with. I certainly do. It's like the end of a marathon, but 100 metres from the finish line, you've decided to take part in a quick triathlon first.
I'm currently doing this challenge for a season (maybe) as a palate cleanser to my other challenge which is much the same every season now.
I'm managing QPR in the Championship, in my (I think) 3rd season, and maybe starting in a big nation like England and working your way up quickly is a good way for me to make progress in the challenge quickly, but I find it a tough way to do the challenge because I want to be completing a competition objective. I'm not really planning to stay with QPR, or even win anything with them. I'm just using them to get a job with a top club, so it's hard to be invested. (Especially since there's no chance of my carrying on the save into FM23). I may well attempt the challenge properly next 'year'.
You of course are planning to take Charlton all the way. If a job becomes available at Man City or the like, will you be tempted, or even know?
Im a Charlton fan, and having never completed a challenge on the site it would be a fairytale ending. Ive always found the lower leagues are alot easier the further into a save you go as you can pick up so many good regens.
Im usually a one club save kinda person, so this save has really ignited my liking for building squads and being a Championship team im gonna need to rebuild the squad a few times over before ever challenging for the major titles.
I also cant work out what save i would do once this is finished so I might be clinging onto it abit.
I would be tempted but I dont think I will make the jump unless I am really struggling to get any progress going.

Brazil - Copa America 2044
Group Stage
We made light work of the group stage minus the draw with Peru in which I made 8 changes to rest players.
Quarter Final
SpoilerIn the last 8 we faced Venezuela and sailed through 4-0
Semi Final
SpoilerIn the last 4 we faced Paraguay who we had already beat twice this year and we walked away 3-1 winners.
Final
SpoilerIn the final we faced Mexico who have a brilliant side with some real world class talent. We absolutely hammered them and walked away 4-0 winners to seal the title.
Whats Next?
That is me done with international football and I have stepped down from the Brazil role to focus solely on the Charlton job.

Competitions
EFL Championship - Results 1 Results 2 Results 3 League Table
I took over ahead of the Millwall game and to get a good win against our rivals was a great start. The good start lasted for 6 games before we had an awful December and January. I signed 7 players in January and own form really picked up with us managing to lose just once in our last 13 games and sealing 10th placed, way above the boards expectations of a relegation battle.
F.A Cup - Result
Knocked out by Premier League side Leeds.
EFL Cup - Results
Was out before I took over.
Playing Squad
The team I took over was poor and I got to work in January bringing in players that not only instantly improved us, but with potential to improve further. I have a few more players to move on and positions I need to strengthen but I am confident we building a team that can challenge for promotion over the next couple of seasons. Key men this season were:
Peter Sommers (RB) - The Welsh RB was here when I arrived and has been a solid performer, chipping in with 5 goals and 6 assists.
Philippe Fall (ST) - The Senegalese Striker hadnt really player when I arrived but I through him in and he took a while to get going. But scored 15 in his last 20 so I am hopeful he can keep it going next season.
Alejandro Torres (AMC) - Amazed we got him but I was watching him when at Marseille as I think he looks a real prospect. Took a while to get going but really started to influence games towards the end of the season.
Next Season
I am encouraged by our end of season form now and think with the right recruitment this summer, we can possibly try and challenge for a play off place. I have the Copa America this summer with Brazil and hopefully can get that won and out the way to solely focus on club football.

New Job
I'm gonna chance it and follow through with my original plan. My 10th and hopefully final club is my beloved Charlton Athletic. I stepped down from Marseille after winning the league title and kept my eye on this job. They were promoted into the championship last season having finished 2nd in League 1. They have floated around the lower leagues since the save started and have not been in the Premier League since the 2006/2007 season. Easily the hardest challenge of the save to try and win the league and a cup here but one I am up for.
I took over on the 30/10/2043 with the team sat 21st in the league with 1 win from 12 games, the boards expectations are to fight bravely against relegation so with no real pressure to succeed, I should get time to build my own side as we need improvements in January for sure.

Marseille - 2042/43
Competitions
Ligue un - Results 1 Results 2 League Table
The sole focus for this season after last years cup win and we pulled it off. We led the league for pretty much the whole season minus a few weeks in January when we had a wobble. Minus that we finished the season strongly and sealed Marseilles first title in 33 years.
Champions League - Results
Actually thought we had a great chance in this group when the draw came out. We just didnt turn up and ended up 3rd and into the Europa League.
Coupe de France - Results
A easy run until the Semi finals and with a league game only 3 days after I rested players against PSG and we bailed out.
Europa League - Results
Another competition where I rested our key men as the league was the focus. Going out after winning the 1st leg 3-1 was still gutting.
Trophees Des Champions - Result
UEFA Super Cup - Result
Amazed we managed to beat Juventus who are still ridiculous and easily the best side on the game,
Playing Squad
The teams progressing really well but still needs more improvement to compete in the Champions League. Key men this season:
Simon Junghans (ST) - Signed as a back up but played a key role once settled into the side.
Marcelinho (CM) - The Brazilian has been brilliant in the middle of the park for us and runs games at times.
Sebastien Pinero (RB) - The young Spanish wing back is really developing into a brilliant player. Another season or 2 and he could easily be a world class player. Chipped in with 12 assists this season.
Next Season
I signed a 3 year deal when I joined which has a year to run but I wont be hanging around. 9 leagues and cups won means I have one destination left and that is the Premier League. I am torn with how to go about this as my plan all along has been to finish the challenge in England with Charlton Athletic (my team). They are currently top of League 1 so I may be waiting around for a job that is going to make the challenge longer and a lot harder to finish. I will have to just wait and see what occurs over the next season and make a decision.

Competitions
Ligue Un - League Table Results 1 Results 2
We took over ahead of matchday 6 and it was an inconsistent season overall. The board expected a top 5 finish so to come 3rd was a decent finish.
Coupe De France - Results
We couldn't have asked for an easier run and took full advantage to seal the cup at the first time of asking.
Europa League - Results
The surprise of the season. I thought Chelsea would be too strong for us and also Barcelona but we just kept putting in the performances and ended up going all the way.
Playing Squad
I took over a talented but very unbalanced team. With some dead wood cleared out in January I started to shape my own squad and the improvements were almost instant. Another summer window and we should be ready to challenge for the title.
Next Season
I am hopeful of a title challenge. PSG had their funding withdrawn a couple of seasons ago so are not the force of old. Monaco are a good side but neither are spectacular and with a good summer signings wise, we should be able to challenge at the very least.
World Cup 2042.
Our 2nd World Cup in charge of England was held in Germany. 4 years ago we finished as runners up and coming into the tournament as European Champions expectations were high.
Group Stage.
In the group stage we faced Haiti and Chile and pulled of easy 6-1 and 4-0 wins to seal a second round spot.
2nd Rnd
SpoilerIn the 2nd round we faced rivals Germany. A one sided game ended in a 3-0 victory and it could have been even more.
3rd Rnd
SpoilerIn the 3rd round we faced Croatia. The game was much tighter than I would have hoped but we managed to scrape through 1-0.
Quarter Final
SpoilerThe last 8 saw us drawn to play Mexico. They have some really world class players and and end to end game finished with us winning 2-1.
Semi Final
SpoilerThe last 4 saw us come up against Belgium who like Mexico possess some real stars. 0-0 after 90 mins they took the lead at the start of the 2nd half in extra time but we pegged them back 2 mins later and managed to win the game on penalties.
Final
SpoilerIn the final we faced Argentina. I was worried going into the tie as we were missing 2 of our starting 11 but we controlled the game well and managed to become world champions with a 2-0 win.
Having won both the Euros and the World cup I decided to step down from my role as England manager after the world cup. My sole focus Internationally is now the Copa America and with Brazil sacking their manager after a poor World Cup, now seemed the perfect opportunity, I applied and just 7 days after resigning from England, have been named the new Brazil manager.

New Job
I didnt hang around at Juventus long after the Club World Cup had ended. And my resignation started a few job merry go rounds. In the end I have taken the Marseille job. As much as I enjoyed my time at Juve, it was too easy with the team there. This next role will be a massive challenge. I take over with the team sat 6th on 9 points from 5 games and the board expecting Europa League qualification for next season.

Competitions
Serie A - League Table Results 1 Results 2
Having taken over a very good Juventus side we didn't need to do too much work with the side. I added a few of my old players and we absolutely romped home. Winning the title with 7 games spare and this meant we could focus our attentions elsewhere.
Coppa Italia - Results
An easy cup win is the only way I can explain this.
Champions League - Results
The one club continental competition we had yet to win, suffering 2 final losses whilst in charge of Atletico Madrid I knew this Juventus side gave me the best chance of winning the competition. Having the league wrapped up with 7 games to go meant we could really focus on this and it worked a treat as we sealed a treble.
Club World Cup - Results 1 Results 2
Such a bugged competition with the timing and the players fitness, luckily by the semi final we had basically our first team all fit and we managed to seal the title.
Coca Cola Super Cup - Results
Playing Squad
By far the strongest team of the save so far, this Juve side is an absolute pleasure to manage and it included a couple of my super youngsters from Feyenoord who are both now key men in this team. The star men this season were:
Marko Culum (ST/AMR) - He was a monster for me at Feyenoord where I played him strictly as a striker. He has played there this season but also filling in at RW when needed and is a real superstar in either position.
Alexis Aguilar (AML) - The other baller from my Feyenoord side, the Mexican left winger has developed into one of the best players in the world and is so influential. Managing so many different sides and using basically the same tactics minus a few tweaks here and there has really opened my eyes up to just how valuable the left winger is in my system.
Greivin Jiminez (CB) - The Costa Rican CB is an absolute unit in the defence. Playing a key role in our 27 clean sheets in 38 league games.
Next Season
I am not sure what to do atm. The PSG job came up and because I wanted to win the Club World Cup I waited until after to apply, by then it was too late and they had appointed Vincent Kompany. France and England are the only two leagues and cup titles I need to win now and I am still looking to take the Charlton job in England and finish the save there (if possible) so I may just stay here and enjoy steam rolling teams until a good job in France comes up, or I may walk away as that will obviously speed up a possible role in France. I am still in charge of England with a World Cup to compete in next summer.

New Job
After 2 good seasons at Bayer Leverkusen we have made the jump to Italy. Taking charge at last seasons clear league winners Juventus, the pressure to succeed will be immediate unlike at any of our previous clubs.
0 -
England - EURO 2040
We went into the EURO's with the F.A expecting a place in the last 4 as a minimum.
Group Stage
A tough group containing Belgium, Holland and Poland. We got off to a great start as we beat Belgium in the opening Game 2-1. Up next was Poland and I under estimated them by rotating my full 11 and we only scraped a 0-0 draw. The final game was against Holland, a 2-1 loss had me fearing the worst but we somehow scraped though due to our win against Belgium as we finished with identical records.
Last 16
SpoilerIn the last 16 we faced France who have a great side. An entertaining 2-2 draw proceeded with them twice taking the lead and so the game went into extra time. We managed to grab an early goal and saw out the game to progress
Quarter Final
SpoilerIn the last 8 we faced the Czech Republic who had knocked out Germany in the previous round. They never managed to lay a glove on us as we sailed through 3-0 and it should have been more.
Semi Final
SpoilerIn the last 4 we faced our World Cup conquerors and Number 1 ranked side in the world Spain. I have to admit I didn't fancy our chances but we nicked a 2-1 win that we didn't deserve.
Final
SpoilerThe final was a rematch of our last group game against Holland. The match was a snore fest as we played out a 0-0 draw that had limited chances. Into extra time and we took the lead in the 103 min, only to be pegged back 7 mins later as the game went to penalties. You can tell its a game, as we managed to win the shootout 6-5 and seal the EUROS.
What Next?
I am going to stay with England for another 2 years and have a crack at the World Cup. We have an ageing squad but with some really good talent coming through I am hopeful that our team will be even better come summer of 2042.
On the club front I am still in charge of Leverkusen but Brendan Rodgers stepped down from the Juventus job who finished 10 points clear in Serie A last season. I have attended an interview and will happily accept if offered the role.
