That's a very interesting club. Good luck. :thup:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

1c9b467a45a621f2ab495434f52bb120.png

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:

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. We also have one foot into the final of the cup as we defeated OFK Beograd 3-0 in the 1st leg of the Semi-Final.

We defeated Beograd 5-2 on aggregate and face relegation candidates Backa in the cup Final so hopefully that can be my first piece of cup silverware won, in the league the groups have split and it's stupidly close with just 3 points separating 1st from 6th, it's going to be a very nervy end to the season!

Fantastic end to the season! My first cup as a manager and my first top league win! All we needed to do was avoid defeat on the final day and a bore draw did just that, now it's just how to strengthen or next season and my Champions League debut!

Thanks Pompey :D I plan on being here either until I at least get a Continental Pro Licence (currently studying for Continental B Licence) but it all depends on what offers come my way. Etimesgut got relegated finishing on 31 points, 3 points from safety and 16th out of 18 :(

3 nice and easy friendlies, the board only want top half but the media expect top 3, hopefully I can go with the media's suggestion.

3 youngsters in with a lot of potential although I missed out on the one player I wanted due to not having the funds at the time...although I then had the fund 2 days after he'd joined another club...

A very close to perfect month in the league has put us 3 points clear of Radnik Surdulica early on, the main news of the month however was the Champions League Group Stage Draw.

We were the bottom team in Group H, a very, very tough group.

Hey can you upload your Savegame somewhere ? I would really like to try it, to see how fast or slow the week process works...

btw i would really like to try to do the same like you. Hope you dont loose your motivation...

Thank you. 

Hey Whiteeagle, I did try to upload it but it kept failing at 16% so I won't be uploading it in the near future, maybe towards or at the end of the save, if it helps at all in terms of sizing, my game save is 398,881kb at the moment.

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.

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.

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!

We're through in the cup, we're now 15 points clear in the league and the 1st team to guarantee a championship playoff place. In the Champions League PSG destroyed us...but we still have the Europa League to play in!

03ad2bae6c62a408ebd894c197a809d9.png

We face Swiss side Wil who've got to be one of the weakest sides so hopefully we can sneak past them!

I also had an interview this month but well I didn't get the job...

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.

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!!!

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!!

We couldn't cap off a close to perfect season but we did stupidly well to get to the final! Now I have a tough decision, my contract is up at the end of June and I don't think I'l do much better next season, so I do leave on a massive high at the end of this season?

Great achievements in Turkey and KUTGW in Serbia Makoto!

You sure got off to a good start... I'm playing Vojvodina myself on FM15 and really struggling to get past the Belgrade boys. The amount of talent you get through the ranks is amazing though and really fun to work with.

What is with the Mladost side that topped the league in your first season? Just a fluke? Or maybe tycoon-owned big-spenders?

Thanks CRM the big sides of Serbia have been struggling more than I thought they would considering Partizan had won the league like 7 times in the past 10 seasons before I arrived. I honestly have no clue but I'll check when I'm home later. it didn't work out though since they were very close to getting relegated this season.
