iacovone Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Pre Season Build Up - Treviso - 2019/20 The big question after last year's disappointment was - do I stay?...the answer for now is "yes". I'm still pretty enamored with Treviso and feel there is still a good chance of another promotion. So I signed a 1 year extension and began the job of restructuring an already promising squad. With Hector Cinalli sold above board, my main concern was to find an AMR. However our long-serving LB Alessio Petti left for Pro Vercelli on a Bosman meaning I'd need a new LB too. I promised the board I'd be aiming for promotion this year and in return they allowed me a big chunk of the Cinalli fee - £135k to spend and a budget of £32,500 - £3k's worth of room to maneuver. Lovely. The media are predicting a midtable finish for us this year - 9th. I still haven't quite worked out how qualification for the Italian TIM Cup works but we're in it this year (unlike last year, but just like the year before that :confused:), which means we'll have a few extra games to play. Fine. Transfers Fabio Pedrini was released by Milan over the summer and I jumped at the chance to pick him up for free. Should be a great addition. Alex Canini was also released by Lecce. He looked to have the ability to succeed in the AMR position and for free it made sense. In he came. So the two main holes in our squad were plugged early. From here I looked for opportunities to bolster and improve on our matchday squad. Isidro declared it was a dream come true to leave Sunderland (understandable) and join me at Treviso (he's clearly mental...). I'm happy to have him, particularly as Yi Teng is out for 9 months with a serious illness! Emil Burger - Found a Swede! He made the league's team of the year last season and was on a free transfer. Made perfect sense to bring him in as I'd been looking for a more attacking inclined CM. Marco Ferraro was a bit of a rushed signing as I realised I was short at CB. He's decent but I don't know if good enough to be a guaranteed starter just yet. Sebastian De Maio then came to my attention a week later. Though 32 (I need the experience) he was considered an essential signing and now becomes the best CB at the club. It also pushed us over our wage budget quite considerably. Oops. We have a 34 year old back up striker in Piovoccaro to Grassi but that is all as Dal Cin was let go at the end of his contract. Therefore I needed at least one new striker - particularly as I began to consider switching to 4-4-2. Martin Olaussen became available in the transfer market and seemed to be a good option. Young and talented, so he was brought to Italy. Another Scandinavian. Excellent. Finally I found this chap on a free. He's a 6 foot 8 centre forward (here's looking at you Jimbokav!!) hailing from Huesca, Spain. Meet Juan Ramon Ramon So that's your lot. The objective is to gain promotion and with the signings I've made, I expect to. If I don't I'm pretty certain I'll refuse a new contract and move on. A big season ahead in the life of Jimmy Blixt...

iacovone Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 First time it's happened in my career but my captain - Sander van Aken - has just come to talk to me and said he feels the club is underachieving and he's losing confidence in my management.

iacovone Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 1st November 2019 Update Hmmm. So much for those great expectations. My attempts at switching to 4-4-2 were ill advised (or at least should have been - where was my advice fellow successful managers?!). Our form was patchy from the off and I should have noticed something was up after the hammering we took in the TIM Cup from newly promoted to our division Alto Adige. But I didn't and I proceeded to try a few new tweaks. After a while it was clear things weren't working. A combination of unfamiliar tactics and unfamiliar faces in the dressing room meant I needed to revert to our 4-5-1 of last season and stick a couple of the new faces on the bench. We found a bit of form but it was often interspersed by weak performances at home of all places. After bidding goodbye to the Serie C Cup for another year, we finally found a touch of form at the end of October, just as my players began to question my management. It was a real struggle and after captain van Aken complained, vice-captain Possentti did the same. He didn't like my answers and I had to strip him of his vice captaincy and place him on the transfer list. He was the back up left back, so no big loss. Grassi is the new vice-captain. So these are troubling times, there is pressure from the board and fans as I promised promotion this season. We need to maintain this form into the winter period and start climbing the table otherwise I may have to consider doing the good deed and falling on my sword. I was incredibly close to resigning during the SPAL game but veteran Piovoccari scored 2 to turn it around. Could that be my Mark Robbins for Man Utd (and Alex Ferguson) moment? We shall see.

iacovone Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 1st February 2020 Update Ok ok, we're back on track. Sometimes it really is just quite simple. Revert back to what you know and voila! You'll be able to see below that we are well in the hunt for promotion again and the results show just how dominant we've been since October. 9 wins and 2 losses hurled us up the table and we have a great opportunity to overhaul Varese (former Serie B side) and come top. Before I get carried away though, it is worth noting that a great deal of our victories have been by the solitary goal, so it could easily have been different. However there is now an air of confidence in our play that just didn't exist at the start of the year. So much so, in fact, that I have actually begun switching to the 4-4-2 I intended to use for home games. It appears to be working . Result of this period was the most recent, beating Pisa 3-2 away from home. We were 2-1 down with 10 minutes to go but Grassi scored and created to win us the game. Speaking of Grassi - he's been promised he'll be allowed to leave asap. That didn't happen in January but most certainly will unless we go up. It will actually be a necessity too as our finances have plunged due to my lazy budget control (£6k over) - we are £350k in the red... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noikeee Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Good turn-around just like we expected. Hunting down Varese shouldn't be impossible. I'm a bit baffled about why you go on such a great run in the winter though, as that's the part of the season where my team always crumbles. Speaking of parallels between your career in Italy and my own, not thrilled to read you're having the exact same financial issues despite being one level above.

So these playoffs are either going to end in glory and another promotion or resignation and another club... Wish me luck whichever way it goes...

iacovone Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 End of Season Round Up - 2019/20 - Treviso Come February we were flying, winning at home and away and this had propelled us into 2nd place and very much in the hunt for automatic promotion. Everything would depend on our form in the run in. So imagine my anger when we completely capitulated more or less from exactly February 1st! We won a pitiful 4 league games in our final 13! It defies belief and I have absolutely no idea why it happened. We didn't suffer any big injuries - there was no logical explanation. I did everything the same as the three months previous! Despite my side's best efforts to throw away this season, the utter crapness of our rivals to string two wins together meant our pathetic form had no bearing on our playoff opportunities and we ended up 3rd! Fixtures 1 Fixtures 2 So back to those dreaded playoffs. To be frank, I wasn't expecting to go up, nor even make the final. We had been playing atrociously and had lost the ability to score. As predicted, Pro Patria defeated us 2-1 in the first leg. We had to win by 1 goal to go to the playoff final and pleasingly we set about it the right way. We dominated from the first to the last whistle and eventually got our reward to take a tight 1-0 win. Off to the final where we met Cittadella - a Serie B side just 12 months ago. There was once a time where we sat above them in the table but they ended the season as the form side in the division; unluckily not taking top spot. It was no surprise then when we were hammered at home. It was one of those performances that made me want to boot the PC all up in the graphics card, stupid *******. We waited an entire season, and even threw 13 games of red herring-ness in there for good measure, just to lead me to believe that we couldn't possibly play any worse. Then along came this game and my centre backs decided to impersonate car park attendants, waving the two top scorers in the league through to our goal. The 2nd leg we actually battled hard in what turned out to be my 200th game in charge of Treviso, but we gave away a penalty to lose it 1-0 and fail at the final hurdle for the 2nd season in a row. Cue this: It's been fun at Treviso. 200 games, 3 trophies, but we seemed to hit our glass ceiling here. I also regretably have plunged the club into untold levels of debt. Oops. It was definitely the right time to move on, I would be forced to sell the stars - of which new boy Alex Canini was our best player this year. So it makes sense in my mind. My reputation has marginally improved to "Local" so hopefully this will help me be offered a job ever so slightly above complete nobodies. The disappointing thing is that going into what will be my 11th season, I still will not have managed in any division higher than the bottom playable division!! Most people would be embarrassed by this....I relish the challenge! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | YEAR | CLUB | NATION | LEAGUE | TIER | FINISH | ACHIEVEMENTS | NOTES | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2010/11|African Warriors|South Africa| NFD/CS | 2nd | 3rd | NFD Cup R/Up | | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| | |African Warriors|South Africa| NFD/CS | 2nd | N/A | N/A |Resigned in Nov| |2011/12| | | | | | | | | | Carpi FC | Italy | Serie C2B| 4th | 16th | Relegated |Resigned E.O.S.| |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| | | Bromley FC | England | BSP | 5th | N/A | N/A |Resigned in Oct| |2012/13| Sichuan | China |Jia League| 2nd | N/A | N/A |Resigned in Apr| | | Gubbio Calcio | Italy | Serie C2C| 4th | 14th | Won Playout | Survived! | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2013/14| Gubbio Calcio | Italy | Serie C2C| 4th | 11th | N/A |Resigned E.O.S.| |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2014/15| Lokomotiv 1925 | Bulgaria | BPF Grupa| 2nd | 18th | Relegated |Resigned E.O.S.| |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2015/16| Treviso | Italy | Serie C2A| 4th | 6th | N/A | | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2016/17| Treviso | Italy | Serie C2A| 4th | 1st |Promoted,Won Serie C Cup,Won Serie C Supercoppa| | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2017/18| Treviso | Italy | Serie C1A| 3rd | 14th | Survived Playout | | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2018/19| Treviso | Italy | Serie C1A| 3rd | 3rd | Lost in Playoff Final and Serie C Cup Final | | |-------|----------------|------------|----------|------|--------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------| |2019/20| Treviso | Italy | Serie C1A| 3rd | 3rd | Lost in Playoff Final |Resigned E.O.S.| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iacovone Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks guys, unfortunately judging by the three months I holidayed last night my reputation seems to have done very little I had two offers - one from Eastbourne (never before playable on my save) and another newly promoted Bulgarian outfit. I figure I can't drop down to the previously unplayable level and have to at least get a job in the equivalent to the Italian 3rd tier otherwise what was the point of the last 4 years !!!

deltablue Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I know the feeling. Not being used to doing this sort of save, so have often been a little too impatient, left a club and realized how little better I can do, though I'm improving at that now I'm getting used to it. My rep's been a little higher than that (regional, though starting local, and even when national on my first test, though that was too high) so you'd be really lucky to avoid getting something really low end I'm afraid, though you could always wait a bit and see if something alright comes up, and always take a lower job late once you're sure.

AK22 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 That was tough! Another season, another playoff defeat. Perhaps it just wasn't to be, so maybe it's a good thing you're leaving. It will be interesting to see what effect you're small increase in reputation has when getting a new job. I can't imagine many clubs take managers from the third tier of Italian football, so I expect you may need to stay at a similar level in Italy or look to start at the bottom again somewhere else. No matter how frustrating this may seem, it makes for a somewhat intriguing career thread! Success is overrated anyway!

iacovone Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Wycombe Wanderers - Blue Square Premier - 2020/21 Having spent a few months jobless, I was obviously keen to get straight back into the game. I was a little disappointed that the mild achievements at Treviso didn't translate into at least a midtable or promotion chasing bottom tier club's interest. But that's how it goes (particularly in this career!). So I waited until the usual flurry of sackings in October and ended up with this offer. It wasn't exactly my ideal job, but they're a relatively well known English side just going through a tough time. They almost made the playoffs last season so the potential is definitely there. I've yet to assess the squad and given it is mid-October, there is little I can do to amend any glaring holes. So for now, I'm going to plough through to the January window and update on the squad's positives and negatives then. We sit 21st and in danger after 15 games but I should be able to turn this around. The league is also very tight so if I'm being ultra bullish, we could make the playoffs...! A quick overview. We play our home games at the 10,000 capacity (8250 seated) Adams Park, seen below. Stadium condition is 'very poor', the surface is 'Synthetic'...we do have good corporate and training facilities as well as adequate youth facilities and an academy. The pitch is a polar opposite to Treviso's - 'very good'! For now though its time to assess and redress the club and aim to move on up. This is my 2nd spell in England after the enormously quick failure at Bromley. And also - notice who's bottom - Eastwood - the club that wanted me. Thank God I didn't go there...!

Raware Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 An interesting move iacovone. Whenever I think of Wycombe, I always think back to a bloke called Roy Essandoh who signed for them after responding to an advert that the club placed on Ceefax! If I remember right, he also scored a last minute winner against Leicester I think which put them into the semis of the FA Cup. A synthetic pitch too. I thought these were no longer used any more?

iacovone Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Absolutely correct Raware. I remember watching the game on TV.

iacovone Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 So I've played a couple of games, not done frightfully well. Having had a look through the squad it turns out that I have four players on long term injuries, a 19 year old pretty crap keeper, a couple of 16 year olds that have to play because I have no-one else. We are down to the bare bones and its only October! We are also an impressive £750k in debt! That means loans are going to have to be my saviour once January rolls round. My best player is Wycombe academy graduate Kevin Thomas who should be good for a few goals at this level. My defensive midfielder is also very good for this level - Scott Connolly.

iacovone Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Euro 2020 - Hosts: Spain - Holders: Spain Thought I'd round up the Euro's before I get stuck into my first proper Wycombe update. This year's championship would be hosted by the holders Spain. The biggest absentees this year were the French who have really dropped off the pace in international terms. Aside from them, I think all the major nations competed - I've yet to spot a glaring omission. Onto the groups. Groups A-C Couple of shocks here - namely the Dutch and Portuguese failing to qualify - even in a format that can allow 3rd place through! Great effort from the Irish and the Welsh as well. Not only qualifying for the tournament but making the knockout stages is quite something! Hats off to Austria as well for topping their group. Groups D-F Immediately you will notice Italy. Bottom of their group with 3 defeats - a shoddy time in Spain for them! But wait...just to make matters worse the Northern Irish AND Albania beat them...! Wow. No great shocks in Group D but in Group F we have a complete set! Scotland and England qualified to make history - the first time all 5 home nations have made it to a tournament (for a start) but also qualified for the knockout rounds. Quite something. The Knockout Rounds No huge shocks in the first half of the draw, England through safely, hosts Spain through comfortably. Wales beating Norway was a superb result. The Northern Irish and Scotland less so as they crashed out in style. At the bottom though the Irish took advantage of a kind draw against Albania to make the Quarter Finals. In a weak line up, the hosts fell to Ukraine whilst England did their usual - losing on penalties, to the Germans this time. In the other half of the draw, the Irish won a thriller against Austria and the Welsh knocked Romania out in extra time. The semi's saw Germany win through on penalties again whilst the mighty Welsh continued their march to the final, beating the Irish 2-0. The Final sadly was a one way encounter - the Germans summoning all their strength to claim the trophy. Despite this, what an amazing tournament! I've never seen anything like it. The home nations rarely do well aside from the English. Aaron Ramsey went on to win the World Midfielder of the Year award - congrats to him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
