Thanks Rikulec, I only really remember @Jimbokav1971 managing here (Serbia) in the last FM so hopefully we can do half as well as he could. 5 hours ago, Pompeyboyz said: Why was that one the only one you were interested in? Good luck there though. I applied for every job available, declining interview after interview from clubs that didn't jump out at me in the slightest, the biggest club in England to offer me an interview was Aldershot Town and Vojvodina were the best team from the top tier of a country to approach me.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 August 2025 August is a stupidly busy month with 9 games (10 including my first game against Rubin) But we're up in 5th early on, notably ahead of Partizan but heartbreak in the Europa League as we went down to 10 men after just 12 minutes in the 1st leg and then we took Rapid Wien to extra time but they scored a 102nd minute penalty to send us out Transfers In: Long term the goal would be to bring in/through a lot of young Eastern Europeans so we could have a squad full of potential and hopefully being able to reach their potential as well, but that all depends on how long I'm here for.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 September 2025 A poor month with just 2 points, we were very unlucky to not get the 3 points away to Red Star, we went down to 10 in the 72nd minute and they equalised in the 91st minute, we need some points!

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 October 2025 We played 2 of the bottom 3 teams at home and that's helped us climb a couple of places and we now haven't conceded in 3 which is very good news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 November 2025 4 wins from 4! Amazing turnaround and all I did was get rid of some player instructions! We're up to 3rd and have only conceded 1 goal in the last 7 games! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 December 2025 We scraped past Odzaci to make it to the Quarter Final of the cup where we'll face 3rd tier Teleoptik who I think are Partizan's B team? What's funny is that they knocked out Partizan in the 1st round of the cup on penalties! In the league we get 7 points from 9 but we're still 7 points behind surprise leaders Mladost who've only finished in the top 3 once since the start of the save. Now we have the winter break and our next competitive fixture is on the 21st of February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 2025/26 Winter Break I'm happy with that, the players stayed fit and had a chance to gel, once Simon Necas had been sold the squad came to me saying they were unhappy with a lack of competition for places so I obviously had to fix that didn't I? 9 players in, some on loan and some may not have a future here (mainly the last few since I left the DoF to make offers) so here is the new competition: And along with all these guys we had our youth candidates with 2 promising youngsters coming through: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 February 2026 Just the 2 games, an away loss and a home win, it's enough to put us just 5 points behind Mladost as they become the 1st team to guarantee a spot in the Championship Group.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 March 2026 A tough month in the league as we played both 3rd placed Odzaci and 4th placed Red Star but managed to get points against both of them.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 September 2026 A strong month in the league sees us 4 points clear of Partizan and a good draw away to Red Star but the heartbreak is in the Champions League, we drew 1-1 away to Bilbao...who equalized in the 89th minute and lost 2-1 at home to PSG where we missed a 7th minute penalty and they went down to 10 men after 62 minutes. Gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 October 2026 Our first league defeat of the season away to Partizan but we're still 5 points clear with a game in hand over half the teams in the league, we got a surprising draw against Arsenal as well which means at the halfway point we're going through to the Europa League Knockouts, not that we're gonna be able to hold on to that.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 November 2026 In the league we had 3 great wins conceding just the 1 goal and we're up to 11 points clear and we still have that game in hand which feels amazing! And speaking of amazing, we're guaranteed European football in spring 2027! 2 late goals from Bojan Roadovic almost scared Arsenal but not quite, but a stunning win over Bilbao guarantees us Europa League football although there is still a tiny, tiny chance that we could be in the knockout rounds of the Champions League!

In the Champions League PSG destroyed us...but we still have the Europa League to play in! We face Swiss side Wil who've got to be one of the weakest sides so hopefully we can sneak past them!

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 March 2027 With us playing more games in the spring our overall form has dropped as we lose against both Odzaci and Proleter in the league but we're still 12 points clear, we've also lost the 1st leg of the cup semi-final against Partizan and that was the home leg so we could be out of that us well but we are still in the Europa League.

Makoto Nakamura Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 April 2027 Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazing month. Let's start of with the Serbian Cup, we won 1-0 away and ended up winning 4-3 on penalties to put us into the final where we'll be against Novi Pazar. Now the league with 13 points from 15 and into the split we're 7 points clear which despite our dominance means we're just 7 points clear, we have guaranteed a top 2 finish thanks to our game in hand but 3 bad results and we finish in 2nd despite playing so well this season. Now the Europa League...we held our own against Tottenham and then Nikola Filipovic scores in the 37th minute of the home leg and Serbians Vojvodina are into the Europa League Semi-Final!!! All 3 sides are tough asks, but we face the side who made the most work of getting through to the semi's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 We did a Barcelona! -Kind of. 4-2 down after the first leg we quickly go 6-2 down on aggregate, but a show from Julie Kawaya and a penalty from Andrija Lukovic sends us into extra time with Julie getting a 2nd brace and a late goal from Bojan Radovic sends us into the Final!!
