kris0710 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Fausto Villaverde This is the 26 year old Spaniard, former Semi-Pro footballer from Madrid that will undertake a European Journey of wins, draws and losses. The Countries and Leagues Belgium - Second League England - Sky Bet League One France - French National Germany - German Second Division Italy - Serie B Holland - Jupiler League Portugal - Portuguese Second League Scotland - Scottish League One Spain - Spanish Second Division B Switzerland - Swiss Challenge League Finding a Job I won't be applying for any jobs straight away so I fully expect my first role to be at a club fighting relegation. Also I will be avoiding England as a first stop unless I get desperate. Here we go... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 That was the reaction from most jobs, ok it was all jobs until Mid-December. My first interview comes from a side in 14th place in the Spanish Second Division B2. Outside the bottom four by a point and level with Amorebieta who are in the Relegation Play-Off position. That was a quick response. Initially very interested in the role the expectation of 'Win Promotion' is a little optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with this game Thank you, I may need it. I always use my name but wanted to start away from England and whilst watching El Classico I thought Spanish would be the choice for me.

kris0710 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 C.D Toledo Spanish Second Division B2 December 2013/14 The opening game had very little input from myself as it came on the day I was appointed. The assistant picked the 16 players for the match day squad but given the amount of injuries we have currently it was all the available players! Things started very well with us taking the lead after twenty minutes but the home side fought back after the break scoring on 55 and 73 minutes. My first home game in charge got off to the best of starts, three goals up inside twelve minutes. A goal a piece from the front two before midfielder Mateo scored from a free kick. Up next in January is leaders Huesca away then two of the next three are against the sides in 18th and 19th. The transfer market opens too, although with the club over spending by £1.5pw it has to be sales before arrivals which is made harder given the current injury status of six players.

kris0710 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 C.D Toledo Spanish Second Division B2 January 2013/14 A pleasing month to kick off 2014. Lost out to run away leaders Huesca in a very entertaining game. After running the show in the first I was disappointed with the start to the second half that saw us concede twice within fifteen minutes. From then on though we again bossed the middle of the park but lacked a finishing touch. In the last minute a header from Rufino gave us a chance which was almost taken in the 94th minute as we hit the post. Next up was a comfortable home win over Getafe B, scoring three without reply. A first draw under my charge was a little disappointing as we did enough to win the game before a trip to strugglers Puerta Bonita brought us my first away win in charge. The better side throughout if we had someone a little more clinical up top it could have been five or six. Going well but certainly not out of danger yet. January Transfer Window Did no deals this month which is not ideal. With the wage budget spent and some I can't recruit without selling. With no takers for the higher earners we are in limbo and to make matters worse of the eight top earners only one player is out of contract this summer. Those eight players take up 60% of the wage budget so even if I am offered a new deal in the summer I will be lumbered with over paid players.

kris0710 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 C.D Toledo Spanish Second Division B2 February 2013/14 It may only be six points from twelve this month but that is a great return considering the opposition. We kick off February taking a beating at Athletico B who scored twice in the opening twenty minutes before sealing the win mid way through the second half. Next up saw us hosting and beating 4th placed Fuenlabrada thanks to goals at the beginning and end of the first half. Another 4th placed side were up next, Leganes and despite taking an early lead we were pegged back quickly and went on to lose, my first home defeat in charge. Expected little from the trip to 2nd placed Real Union but what we got was totally opposite. Two goals to the good before the home side struck right on half time. Two very tight offside calls went our way in the second half as we clung on the three valuable points. The opposition eases up next month with matches against two of the bottom five, two sides around us in 9th and 12th before ending with a trip to 4th placed Sestao River.

kris0710 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 C.D Toledo Spanish Second Division B2 March 2013/14 Almost a perfect month but it ends in disappointment as our slim Play Off hopes look to have been extinguished. March started with a good comeback against Las Palmas. After falling behind in the ninth minute a goal in each half from top scorer Rufino saw us home. We put in a top performance at home to Real Madrid C scoring twice in the first half before each side traded penalties. The scoring was complete thanks to a Mateo free kick that flew into the top corner. Two victories followed against two struggling sides although we were far from at our best in either. A quick fore double from Ramos turned the match in our favour at home to Tudelano before we saw off Pena Sport without either of the top two scorers who were missing through injury. They returned for the big trip to Sestao River knowing a win would put us within four points of a Play Off place. Never really looked like getting the win though, even when we levelled through an own goal just before the break. Attack after attack came from the home side and finally our defence caved for a second and third time in the final ten minutes. With six games remaining relegation is a long way off. Look to have a good shot at finishing as high as 5th which would be some achievement. Youth Candidates Just the one player to be kept on from this group.

kris0710 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 C.D Toledo Spanish Second Division B2 April 2013/14 With not so much to play for in the final six games I have used the matches to give fringe players a run out and work out who I want for next season, assuming I am still here. The month start with defeat to Real Sociedad B who in all honestly battered us, until they went 3-0 up. From that moment the fight back was on and in the end we were unlucky not to grab a point. A trip to struggling Conquense saw us record a comfortable 2-0 win with Rufino scoring for the final time this season. In the next match Rufino was forced off after 72 minutes with a torn hamstring and replacing him was youth product Pablo Antonio making his debut for the club. He wasted little time in scoring as his struck just as the clock ticked onto the 90th minute. We end April with another dour showing allowing Amorebieta to win at a canter.

Tullem Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 11 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses since you've been there. Definitely doing well in turning the fortunes of the club around, although as you say, bit unrealistic ambition from the owners perhaps! Keep it up, big push for promotion next season!

Definitely doing well in turning the fortunes of the club around, although as you say, bit unrealistic ambition from the owners perhaps!Keep it up, big push for promotion next season! Heading in the right direction for sure, hopefully I have done enough to warrant a new deal. I want to get a 2 year contract as I think it will take me two seasons to go up. This summer I am likely to be stuck with the high earners although I am trying to tempt them with 'reduce wage demands' I exchange for a year longer deal. If that fails next season will be a strong starting eleven but the back up is likely to be made up of kids on very low deals. Then the following summer I can rid myself of the overpaid stars and hopefully have a budget around £18k to build a better squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0710 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 C.D Toledo Spanish Second Division B2 May 2013/14 Not a bad end to the season at all seals a very good 8th placed finish. Initial Budgets Well that is a kick in the teeth. Managed to persuade three players to take pay cuts meaning we were only overspending by £500 pw now. Then they go and cut the budget by £3k pw. New Contract Got to June 18th and heard nothing on a new deal so off I go and ask the board myself. What? So I did what every self respecting does and leaked this to the Press. Told them I hoped it would change their mind. Instead I was hit with the news I needed 11 points form the opening 5 games of the season to keep my job. So picking up 38 points from 21 games wasn't good enough, no. With the poor budget in place there was no way I would be accepting that demand.

I best shot at a new job will be with one of the newly promoted clubs into the Spanish system. Shame it ended so soon at Toledo, you didn't do too badly on the pitch. I am a little disappointed but deep down I knew it would end this way. Hopefully they crash and burn now! why were Real Madrid 'C' relegated? Because the Real Madrid 'B' team Castilla were relegated from LIGA adelante so the two clubs can't be at the same level. The same way as Castilla can never be a La Liga side.
