2011 - FC Smorgon - Belarusian First League

Squad

Transfers

I took over with Smorgon in 15th position and the squad seriously demoralized.

Belarusian First League - 8th

Fixtures

Positions Graph

Belarusian Cup

After a slightly rocky start to my career we pulled together to go on a 11 match winning run which put us out of danger of relegation and only 5 points off the play-off spot, but unfortunately we couldnt keep it up to challenge for the play-off spot but my main job this season was to save us from relegation so im happy i did that! The Belarusian Cup ended with a bang, a 3-0 defeat at home to Partizan Minsk but the Belarusian cup was never my focus so maybe it was better off getting knocked out because we won the net 7 games on the trot. I felt I did a good job and so did the Smorgon board and they offered me a new contract until 2013.

Star Player

Sergey Traskevich - Finished as our top scorer and will definitely by one we want to hold onto!

The Future

With a new contract until 2013 I plan to stay here for that time at least and go for promotion.

Traskevich looks like a huge talent for that league - good luck!

Scored 36 goals in his career in the First League...17 in one season

2012 - FC Smorgon - Belarusian First League

Looking to go for promotion! Onwards and upwards!

Belarusian Cup

Ahhhhh so close to promotion, we were well ahead in the play-off but unfortunately we couldn't last and Partizan Minsk punished us, I didnt think we would even make the play-offs but we just scraped over the line in the end. We never dropped below 8th which is great. I tried to bring in a few young players and I got some I have faith in that can eventually take us to the net level. The Belarusian Cup wasnt a main focus again so I wasnt too bothered been knocked out early.

Star Player

Dmitry Dubatovka - He didnt get much of a chance last year but when givin a chance this year he really took it despite not been our best striker.

The Future

I got offered an extension to my contract but I decided to turn it down, my contract is up at the end of this season, if we get promotion ill stay but if we dont I dont think I will stay.

2014/15 - Balatonlelle SE - Hungarian Division II - West

Squad

Transfers

Brand new club with no history and no staff...why wouldn't I go there?

Hungarian Division II - West - 6th

Fixtures

Positions Graph

Hungarian Cup

Things started off a bit bad because it took some time to get everything together but once we got goin we went on a 14 match unbeatin run and some how never rose above 4th in the league which is mad. I brought in a lot of young foregin players because most the Hungarian players interested in us wernt anything special. We could of challenged for top spot if our early season form had of been good enough. We had no problem scoring goals but our defence leaked in goals but im not that worried because most of them are young and will only get better. The Hungarian Cup came a the wrong time for us, as soon as we got knocked out the team gelled, it would of been nice to cause a bit of a stir in the cup but theres always next year!

Star Player

Christ Bombele - Only 20 years old, hopefully we can hold onto him but I honestly cant see him staying here too long, there is a lot of interest in him.

The Future

With our young players I reckon we can really challenge for top spot and promotion next season!

2015/16 - Balatonlelle SE - Hungarian Division II - West

This season was all about going for promotion.

Star Player

Alex - Hes a great player, was ever present and had a great season.

The Future

Very disappointing to miss out on the play-offs so I decided to leave, bit rash but sure the more adventure the better.

Well this is an unusual one! Don't see too many careers in this part of the world.

Best of luck.

2017/18 - Wealdstone FC - Blue Square Bet South

Squad

Transfers

Once again newish club no staff and bearly any history, why not?

Blue Square Bet South - 3rd

Fixtures

FA Cup

FA Trophy

My aim for the season was to avoid relegation and give the club a bit of hope that they would stay up for a few seasons. The start of the season went well and all my new players gelled in fine and the middle of the season was very good but towards the end things didnt go very well but thankfully we had done enough to secure our play-off spot. The FA Cup and the FA Trophy were good, especially the FA Trophy were we were unlucky to get knocked out in the semi-final. All together the season was a good one because we wernt expected to do anything except get relegated.

Star Player

Antnio - Ah our Brazilian, I dunno why he signed for us, he is way too good for our club but im not complaining.

The Future

The board announched that they will be building a new stadium, and they offered me a new contract which I turned down because bigger teams wanted me and Hartlepool offered me the job which I took but decided to step down a few weeks later.

National Team

Well we lost all our games in the World Cup qualifiers but we went hammered all the time which is progress I guess? We beat San Marino 5-2 and drew with Andorra 0-0 in friendlies, but heres the big one, we beat Kazakhstan 3-1 in the qualifiers for Euro 2020! Which had me dreaming of qualification but alas it was not to be but we didnt finish last due to our huge victory over Kazakhstan so we made some progress, lets hope we can keep it up!

Well this is an unusual one! Don't see too many careers in this part of the world.

Best of luck.

Just going anywere I can haha thanks

I joined Peterhead in December but results didnt go in my favour and I decided to jump before I was pushed.
