We finally get knocked out of EURO Cup... First game at home we played with 10-man since 40th minute as Prados got sent off and I knew we will not be able to beat Spurs away. We tried though and even were up 1-2 in second leg. I am still happy with this year's european performance. In league we lost to both Real Madrid and Barcelona but it did not really matter and I think players were not really motivated. Maybe if Vietto did not get injured we could be more competitive in May.

SEASON 2024/25

Two semifinals and 2nd place in league? I will take it. Got to say we had really hard draws in EURO Cup as it almost looked as CL draw maybe with exception of Everton. Maybe next year I will finally win a trophy?

Maximilian Scheffel was not playing very well even though he was our topscorer. I thought having him and Vietto for ST position was enough but perhaps he lacked motivation since it was fairly certain he would start most games? Mario Rui again won player of the year and as sad as it is, he will retire this July.

This is very nice! For comparison, last year Real Madrid won the league with 88 points.

Ever since I joined Vigo I was wondering whether to replace Carlos Abad or not.. three years later he's still delivering great results!

Even though we had some money I did not want any new players at all except for LB that we got for free from Arsenal. Ivo and Agudelo are my 2 non-EU players (+ Scotti) for next season, Celcic immediately went on loan. I loaned out all the other players with potential because they would not get playtime in our team. Also got rid of Diarra and Balanta.

We beat Man City and Atletico this month but then we draw with Feyenoord at home. That means we need to get at least one point from Gelsenkirchen. Last game of the month we played away at Malaga that was playing beyond all the expectations and we drew them aswell thanks to 90+4 goal by their winger Nakajima.

January was such a great month for our team! We beat Real Madrid twice and if we do not **** up the second leg, we will play either Las Palmas or Villarreal in finals. This could be my first trophy. In league we won all the games this month. Scheffel is slowly getting back to form and Ivo is now our starting ACM even though he is only 18 years old!

Another clean month by us! I gotta say our defense got so much better with Campos' arrival, no wonder he is starting CB for Spanish National Team, I have no idea how Real Madrid could just let him go... Anyway, we will play Barcelona next. Celtic was easy and we will play Bayer Leverkusen next (they are currently number 1 in Bundesliga). In Spanish Cup finals we will meet Las Palmas.

Someone tell me what is a better way of winning the title than scoring four at Santiago Bernabeu! Splendid performance by the boys and first trophy of my career! We won the league after a great run, only losing to Coruňa early in the season. 97 points is also new Vigo record.

SEASON 2025/26

bb88d4be5d4e7830839b2de67157f443.png7

It was a great season domestically and will be hard to reproduce since Real Madrid won CL and they are still a very strong team as well with Barcelona. I believe that we need to get top-class attacker to be competitive in Europe aswell. But it is tough since we still get only about 25mil for transfers.

42559a7a745b40e33b1d2eb692c20b6d.png

Ivo is still only 19 and he's playing so well already!

We won the Super Cup but I knew something was not quite right.. and we got hammered by Barcelona at Nou Camp two weeks later. Lets see how we will do next month.

90239704c13e950551aa73f7b4e74d5b.png

Actually quite tough draw in my opinion. We should get through though.

0a5f2cb956279e1889fb62abdbfb35ad.png

Now this is where I get mad... I've got 26 millions for transfers (which is so low compared to what we make every season) and we needed striker.. All the prices are so high but we still managed to find a guy who would come to us for 32 millions so I sold Gebing to get the money.. and before he accepted the contract my transfer budget reseted back to 26 millions so we could not get him. I am actually very mad with my board and thinking about future all the time. Then we signed another "potentially great" attacker, central midfielder and back-up goalie. Eliot Matazo is actually our record signing which says a lot.

And it is official.. we will once more play only EURO Cup in Spring. This time it all goes on me as I used back-ups and rotation players mostly for CL games - thinking I would get through with them. I forgot to take a screenshot of league table so you will have to wait for January. :D We also lost to Real Madrid so we are currently on 2nd place behind them. We beat Atletico 3-1 in Copa del Rey which gives us a great chance to move forward.

Lazio and Monaco looks like it had the potential to be a tough group, unlucky to miss out on goal difference.

I underestimated them so hard and expected us to get through even with back-up teams playing.. especially Lazio. My bad, will do better next time.

Great month as we win all the games in league and also move forward to semifinals in Spanish Cup. We started the semifinals very well winning the away game 1-0.

653970e21819e9d4aa01a317df1b7ee3.png

I decided to sell Gabriel Scotti even though he has insane potential as he can only play on right wing and Houzvicka is currently (and potentially) better. We got some decent money for him and I could finally get my striker!

e0939ebcff802edb420e1c4cbba60dcb.png

We decided to buy Marc Rubiol from Espanyol on his release clause. He is only 19 and he's already played 3 seasons in La Liga.

We beat Barcelona 3-1 and get a revenge from earlier in this season! We move to finals of Copa del Rey after securing home win against Villarreal and we also beat CSKA 9-2 in EURO Cup. Great month. Rubiol is starting to prove himself.

We had to battle with tons of injuries + suspensions so I am really delighted that we pulled through against Valencia and we move forward to EURO Cup quarterfinals. We are 6 points clear now but Real Madrid has two games in their hands and they beat us before.

It all came down to the fixture against Real Madrid at home.. and we hammered them 4-0! They tilted hard and lost next game at Sevilla aswell, so we most likely win the title again! On the other hand, in Europe we moved past Torino easily but we lost at home to Atletico. I have no idea what happened - or well, I do, Ivo pulled his knee ligaments and will miss the second game aswell. We will also play Real Madrid in Copa del Rey finals.

So we hit our all-year low in the most important month of the season. My players sure love some drama but we did it in the end! Gotta admit I was a little bit worried before the Villarreal game as the loss would probably tilt me into oblivion but we smashed them and secured our back-to-back titles. We lost to Atletico in EURO Cup semifinals as Boban Jankovič got sent off in 10 minute. I still like him though, he's our Roy Keane.

We lost to Real Madrid in Spanish Supercup and we also lose second time when Pontus Svensson decided to sign with them instead of us. Decent start to our league campaign though.

Monaco once more! Lets not underestimate these teams anymore.

4d65b2081719fd017b62f950710c6291.png

We actually made some decent money this offseason. We sold Konaté to Man Utd as they paid his release clause and we sold Abad to Malaga - they used a release clause on him aswell and he decided to go even though he would still probably be our number one. Scheffel and Cordua were not simply good enough. We signed Joao Nobre from Man Utd on Bosman and he should be rotating with Jankovic & Matalo. Ullum, Bruno and Cardos are the kind of transfers that might go well.. Guillaume Hernandez on the other hand is someone I think has the potential to be one of the best CBs in the world. Axel Espina is our new goalie number one and Oscar Areso is Spanish NT's CB that will rotate with Uduokhai and Campos.

Villarreal ends our unbeaten run. Looks like they could not handle the pressure after beating us since they lost points in both next games and we are currently first. I still fear Real Madrid the most and they are currently seven points behind. We beat both Monaco and Leverkusen in CL and we are through! Finally after 3 years we will play CL in spring!

Ivo had a rough year and Vincent Thill actually played most of the games. Vincent is a showing example of a professional - he's been here since I came to the team and he was mostly used as back-up/rotation player and he always performed and never bitched. I like to think about this season as his "reward".
