PAGET LIONS (BERMUDA) SEASON 2061/62 CINGULAR WIRELESS PREMIER DIVISION We were great this season as we pushed away from the chasing pack. We are undefeated this season in the league and worthy champions. Another 50 points. BERMUDIAN FA CUP It was very straightforward for us in the FA Cup as we beat Robin Hood in the final. This would be our final game as manager at the club as we had already secured the league title and all the points on offer this season. SQUAD The biggest difficulty we had this season was losing players to other clubs across the world as we are amateur. We would replace the players with new players but some of them wouldn't even last the season. Canela for example ended up our top goalscorer but he only came in a few months ago and has 15 goals in 8 games. A very good squad, trending more and more away from the Bermudian nationals to an international squad, which will inevitably leave in the next few seasons. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS Our time at Paget Lions is done and we got all the points we could and we are now nearing the middle point in terms of points for the leg which is great in only two season. We will resign and be looking for our next club. MAP Map Link SUMMARY

PAGET LIONS (BERMUDA) SEASON 2060/61 We were out of work for a fair while. We did have job interview offers, but the first two jobs looked like poisoned chalices, the first job, the club was bottom with only two points with seven or eight games to go and it looked very likely we might get relegated if we went there. The second job was even worse, in the relegation places, three points from safety with one game to play. So we rejected them and eventually at the end of the Bermudian season Paget Lions was available. They were one of the weaker sides in Bermuda, but I felt we could develop the club into title challenger like we had done elsewhere. CINGULAR WIRELESS PREMIER DIVISION It was pretty close, but we did manage to win the league in our first season by five points. We started to stutter a little towards the end which brought Dandy Town back into proceedings but in the end we were comfortable enough. 100 points gained. BERMUDIAN FA CUP We relied on penalties in the Quarter Final against North Village Rams, so that was fortunate, but apart from that it was plain sailing. I had expected PHC Zebras to be a real challenge in the final as they are probably the best team in the country but we rolled them over pretty easily in the final. Another 50 points. SQUAD When we got to the team, it was a small team and lacking a lot of quality, but we got to work in the transfer market and really changed the team again utilising agent offers and anyone our scout could spot, until eventually we had the kind of team that could challenge. On paper the PHC Zebras team is still better than mine, but they weren't very consistent last season. If we can continue to improve the team we will. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS A good start to life in NA9 as we pick up 140 points in Bermuda. We will be staying another season to hopefully pick up more points and then we will be thinking about our next job. MAP Map Link SUMMARY

ISLANDERS FC (BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS) SEASON 2058/59 BVIFA NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE We were here for the league title and we managed to achieve it without much issue at all, as we blitzed the league. We still have games to go but the title is wrapped up and that is enough to finish the leg. PRESIDENT'S CUP We reached the final, but since our goals are achieved we leave before the final. SQUAD When we took over the team and it was not that great but we were able to go back to One Caribbean and get Oduko, who was proven in the league, plus we picked up some good prospects that agents brought us and any players that were scouted. We even picked up players from the League Top XI from the season preview. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are done here in NA10, having achieved the 500 point mark. Next up is NA9 which includes Nicaragua, Bermuda, Bahamas and Bonaire. MAP Map Link SUMMARY

HARLEM UNITED (DOMINICA) SEASON 2057/58 CABLE & WIRELESS B-MOBILE PREMIERE DIVISION We won the league easily, there is still a game to go, but we are leaving the club following the DFA Knockout Cup Final. We did have a draw this season which is the only time in 2 years in Dominica that we dropped points. 50 points won for the league. DFA KNOCKOUT CUP A very easy road to the DFA Knockout Cup win. No issue pretty much the whole tournament, and the final was a beatdown against Gully. We left after the cup final. 20 points for the cup win. SQUAD There were four Brazilian who were available and scouted, probably had come in as agent offers and they were far superior to the majority of the squad so we brought them in and got rid of some of the other non-national. It just so happens that during the season two of the guys we couldn't rid of became Dominican national as there is a 2 year citizenship so that was handy for more top quality depth. We never lost a game with this team, we only ever drew once for a 97% win percentage. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are leaving because we got to 400 points, so any league title with a new club completes the leg so we are off to pastures anew. Not sure I would want to go up against Harlem United in Dominica as that could get difficult so hopefully its somewhere else in the region. MAP Map Link SUMMARY

I would say early on it's not going to matter too much and if the Under 19s can contribute to the first team then the quicker you can improve overall in terms of results and they will get quick improvements (personality dependent) from playing first team football and getting good ratings. I generally followed the rule that if I had players with 5 star potential ability they went up to my first team unless that meant I had more than 2 or 3 player for that position. If you have 4 right wingers up, then its highly likely one isn't going to play an the third choice is also likely to play almost nothing so I would keep them down; at that point I would leave the weakest in the Under 19 team. One advantage you can start working on if you do keep them up is that if you have good personalities, start to mentor the players now. The other thing to keep in mind is when the Under 19s play, what I did in my recent Portugal save early on, is just unfiltered the first team to allow for the inclusion of Under 19 team players. But the issue sometimes is as you go up the leagues the matches can be played concurrently at the same time, so they might not be able to play for the first team even if you wanted to. So bear that in mind otherwise if they are included in the first team and dont play, they cant then play the Under 19 game. PS: Also one thing if you really want to min max things, and I only did this when I had been in the top division for several seasons, I sacked my Under 19 manager and made sure the high potential guys were playing the games in the Under 19 and Under 23 games. Some youth manager have a habit of favouring CA as opposed to PA, and while the effect of youth players playing is much less than the first team I found that if they didn't play then with middle to bad personalities they didn't develop.

HARLEM UNITED (DOMINICA) SEASON 2056/57 We left One Caribbean and actually found a job pretty quickly but not in the British Virgin Islands but instead in Dominica and it was a pretty good find. Harlem United were already one of the best sides in Dominica and had a full staff, so that was not a problem for us as it normally was almost everywhere else. The main issue was that the squad was good but very thin and the league had a pretty restrictive 25 man squad with no under age waivers so that could get problematic in the case of injuries. CABLE & WIRELESS B-MOBILE PREMIERE DIVISION We achieved perfection in the league with 18 played and 18 won as we found it very easy and ended up winning the league in landslide. 100 points added. DFA KNOCKOUT CUP In the cup we had a few hairy moments and close games, perhaps the closest tie being the Quarter Final where we were forced to go to extra time with Bath Estate but managed to find a way to win. The final again wasn't super easy, as we were trailing but a quick double from Lantan got us through in the end. 40 points gained. SQUAD A thin squad, we managed to improve the team with the likes of Gyamfi and few Dominican players that were identified by the scouts. We won every game this season so I have no complaints at all with the quality of the squad. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS A good season at Harlem United and we will be staying for another as if we can be as dominant again we will be very close to completing the leg. MAP Map Link SUMMARY

I have a theory about why they are well rounded. I think once you get good facilities and coaches, you can go either default position training or role training. I think that default position training and a focus gets you quicker improvements but more evenly spread and role training is slower but will probably get you very specialised players. I started the latter, then moved to the former and then back to the latter in the last two years in terms of development. Not sure there is anything in it at all but just my observation of it. Yeah keeper is such a major one, if you don't get one its such a weakness, every other position you can convert players, a centre back to full back. a centre back to defensive midfield, a winger to striker. You can convert anyone to keeper, at least not that im aware. In terms of the centre backs I spent ages without one that had good jumping reach and heading then I got three all around a three year period recently and it definitely helped.

ONE CARIBBEAN (BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS) SEASON 2055/56 BVIFA NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE We got a very comfortable league win this season as we romped away with the title in the end. Another 50 points. PRESIDENT'S CUP This year we got our hands on the President's Cup, we found it easy in the early rounds but by the end of the season we were a bit less dominant and so I was happy we managed to make it over the line in the final against Virgin Gorda. SQUAD We continued to improve the squad however we could. The league has a foreigner limit so we had to let some of the non-nationals go where we thought we could do better. Oduko was amazing this season with 29 goals in 19 games and he slowed down on the goals a lot towards the end of the season. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS Our time at One Caribbean is done as the points will start to be worth peanuts. We will be leaving and seeing where we land next, hopefully some leaves from the league to take our current job and we can be in a job quickly, but if not it might be a wait. It's been a good start amassing 190 points in two seasons so we are well on our way. MAP Map Link SUMMARY

ONE CARIBBEAN (BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS) SEASON 2054/55 We were out of a job for only 4 months before we got our next job which was our first in NA10, and a move to British Virgin Islands, to take up the manager's job at One Caribbean. They had just been promoted to the top division and only had 8 players at the club and no staff so we would have our work cut out to get them ready for the start of the season. The board expecting to challenge for the title despite the fact that we were predicted to finish bottom so that could be a potential banana skin, but I decided to take the job anyway. BVIFA NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE We managed to take home the title extending our lead right at the end of the league season as Old Madrid started dropping points. We spent a lot of the season joint top. We had a hard start as we just couldn't get many players in and not many with quality but by December we had a very decent squad assembled and it looked like we could kick on and win the league title. We get 100 points for the league win. PRESIDENT'S CUP We exited at the first round in the cup. We had a lot of issues early on, so it is understandable. At this point we probably only had 12 players at the club total so it was always going to be tough and we didn't start the league season well. SQUAD We had barely any players when we arrived and no staff, so it took a while to be able to bring people in, but we eventually managed it and again by our normal tried and tested method we just got in players that the very questionable scouts thought were better than what we had. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS Glad we averted the potential banana skin that was being served up here and managed in the end to at least take home points in the form of the league title. Next season we will go again on all fronts. MAP OF WHERE WE HAVE MANAGED Map Link SUMMARY

SMX CREW (SINT MAARTEN) SEASON 2053/54 KAMPIOENSCHAP VAN SINT MAARTEN We won every game this season in the league and we win the league with 8 games to go. The 50 points from this league title is enough to see us through NA11 and on to NA10. So we will be leaving the club. SINT MAARTEN CUP We had reached the semi final of the cup before we left. SQUAD We brought a few new players in but again it was just who was available that our scouts thoughts might be good. No major plan around it just get them in since everyone is on an amateur contract. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We get through NA11 without too many issues with a brief visit in the Turks and Caicos Islands and then two stints in Sint Maarten, Next we will be going to NA10 where the available countries will be Cayman Islands, Dominica, British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands.

SXM CREW (SINT MAARTEN) SEASON 2052/53 We were out of work for about a year after leaving Oualichi before the SXM Crew job came up and were able to get back into management still in Sint Maarten. KAMPIEONSCHAP VAN SINT MAARTEN We absolutely walked the league for 100 points added to our total. SINT MAARTEN CUP We won the cup without much issue for 50 points. Special attention should be paid to the final where we won 11-1 against our former club. Not sure how they live that down. SQUAD We added players where we could, simply getting the best of what was offered to us. Quite a few South Americans and African players were acquired to bring the level up. MANAGER PROFILE MANAGER THOUGHTS We are very close now, just another league title at SXM Crew and we are done with the leg and I expect we should managed it. SUMMARY

No not finished, decided to complete the Youth Academy challenge, finished that so will probably be back to this one soon enough.

Cheers!

This guy was probably my best player for periods. After I got him tries tricks, and beats man repeatedly, and uses outside of the foot, some games he was unplayable but he could be a bit inconsistent at times. He was probably my first real quality player. Got called up for Portugal, but hasn't got a cap yet. You can see his physicals, technique and flair are pretty great My top goalscorer I think is pretty decent, not elite, but he just gets goals, quick and clinical finisher. 194 goals in 347 ain't bad. The main issue we had was that our youth intake rarely gave us out and out strikers so we had to keep converting wingers. He was the first one we converted. This guy is pretty new to the team, been in just 2 or 3 seasons but he is a beat. 1.97m tall, great jumping reach and heading, gets goals from set pieces and very solid. Has this guy for ages, absolutely love him, he is out Xavi, amazing vision, works hard, always makes the right pass, great touch. Gave him killer balls and dictates tempo and he can run games for us. Wants to leave now after the Champions League win. Another guy we got early and built up and just became a superb servant. Joubert came a little after Leite. He is almost as good as him, maybe slightly less good, but a great player. Can fill in a left back, which was a problem for us for a little while. Kevin Semedo, pretty new guy. decent physicals. Great concentration, tackling and tecnique, good at centre back and defensive midfield, wins most things in the air. Still has a lot of growth to go. Really like him and he was instrumental in the Champions League. The newest main addition to the first team. Just came in last season at the end of the season. I think he will end up a monster at full back. This guy sat behind the striker, again high flair, high technique, high vision player, that can set them up but can finish. He again has been a real good player for us for many years. This was he one that got away, which actually I thought would cost us dearly. We have had to play a bit of second rate keeper this season in goal, because we lost this guy last Jan to Bayern. He is the main keeper for Portugal. Just a brilliant brilliant keeper. His one issue was that he for some reason sometimes didn't turn up for training. But on the pitch turned into a monster keeper. I thought I would through Mussa in this little update as well. He is arguably the more prolific when compared to Toure. Was an actual striker that we got. He is not the best in the world, but he is really patchy. He is the kind of guy that can go 5 games without scoring and then scores three hat tricks in a row. Again a high flair, high technique, pretty quick, good finisher, with great dribbling. We were probably just the step below being a top side, and we probably overachieved but not by a massive amount I would say. The main thing was that this last season we had we could rest players a bit more, and had a better bench and second 11 and it let us throw all the top guns into the big Champions League games. Also this season I wasn't really blooding youngsters too much apart from Zuke so that helped consistency.

Thanks, quicker than expected. Didn't expect to get it done this season, but everything fell into place.

I will start however with the league, this year we just seemed far more assured than any other season. For quite a few years we have been challenging for the title, but it’s always a win on the final day or trialling Benfica or Porto by a few points, this time for the first time we led early on and it never looked like we would through it away. We won the league with a couple of games to go and could rest players for the other competitions. The League Cup wasn’t great but we were a bit unlucky. We won one and drew one, but that wasn’t enough to get through due to goal difference so we went out in the Group Stage. We would win the Portuguese Cup beating Benfica in the final 4-1 The Champions League is the main talking point though. Prior to this season I had no confidence, but this season my confidence was growing as the performances started looking dominant. We started off with a 3-0 win over Ajax, and beat Maribor 9-3, we beat Nice 5-1 away. In the end we qualified as one of the best 8 qualifiers only losing twice in the League Phase once to Newcastle and Inter Milan. In the Last 16, I was troubled when I saw that we got Man City, and expected to exit the competition, but we were brilliant winning 2-1 in Manchester and getting a drawing goal in extra time after losing 3-2 at home. RB Leipzig were next in the Quarter Final and we dealt with them easily 4-1 on aggregate. The semi final saw us up against Bayern Munich and we had to face adversity as we lost 3-2 away in the first leg but came roaring back at home 4-1 to book a place in the final against Chelsea in Munich. The final was actually a pretty simple game, the stats will say they had the better of the chances, but I didn’t feel under threat the whole game, we would win it 2-0 with goals from Mussa Djalo a striker we have had for years and years and Andy Zuke a full back who has just made the first team last season. A treble to complete the journey. PS: We lost the UEFA Super Cup to Arsenal 3-2 and won the Euro/SAM Trophy 3-2 against Botafogo. CHALLENGE COMPLETE YOUTH TEAMS The U19s returned to winning the league this season and got as far as the semi finals of the UEFA Youth League before losing to Copenhagen U18s.

We started a bit lukewarm both in the league and in other competitions, but eventually things started going well and this time around we had a pretty settled team for the majority of the season without major holes in it. We extended a bit of lead over Benfica, but it was never more than five or so points as they matched us. In the January window we lost our star keeper Torcato to Bayern Munich, and that left us in a real pickle, with our second choice leaving, we could play him or we could take a punt on youngster with potential and its what we did and he performed admirably, as we kept going. We could have won the league on the penultimate fixture away to lowly Feirense, but lost, and it went to the final day where we would get the job done without any histrionics required. We were poor in the League Cup and didn’t make it out of the group. In the Portuguese Cup we were equally poor as we lost to Familicao in the Fourth Round. The Champions League was shambolic as we lost to Anderlecht in the third qualifying stage, this after getting a draw away we managed to lose at home, but this would send us to the Europa League. We were very good in the group stages and to be honest we had no problems all the way to the final. We beat the likes of Villarreal handsomely, battered Dinamo Zagreb, disposed of Bayer Leverkusen easily to set up a Final against Liverpool in Munich. We were very much under the cosh for the whole match, but we managed to hit them on the counter successfully and we came away 2-1 winners to win our first piece of silverware in Europe. YOUTH TEAMS For the first time in seven year the U19s did not defend the league title and Mafra beat them to the title. We actually lost to them on the penultimate fixture to basically give them the advantage and they took it. The U23s got to the Championship Round but did not win the league but did end up winning the Taca Revolucao that happens just after the league season with the top performing clubs.

Last year’s title win didn’t seem sustainable at the time and this season we were far more inconsistent, winning against some sides that I considered better than us and losing to relegation scrappers. In the end we were still in with a shout of the title towards the end of the season especially after beating Benfica 1-0 but we drew to Porto and lost to Chaves to make sure that wasn’t going to happen. At least we qualified for Champions League football. In the League Cup we got to the semi finals and were beaten by Porto on penalties in the Fifth Round. In the Portuguese Cup we lost to Porto in the 5th Round In the Champions League we really struggled but a final League phase win at Anfield out of nowhere gave us our Knockout Round place. In the next round we would be drawn against Liverpool, having beaten them in the League phase I had some hope and a 3-2 win at home gave us the advantage but they turned the tie round late on at Anfield winning 3-1 and knocking us out. YOUTH TEAMS The U19s won the league again quite easily but only made it to the Knockout Rounds of the UEFA Youth League losing to Arsenal.

We were leading 1-0 but with two minutes to go Farense equalised and by this time Benfica were already 4-0 up. It looked like we were going to lose out on the title on the final day, but we get a penalty with seconds remaining in stoppage time and Ismael Toure with ice in his veins puts the spot kick away to give us our maiden league title and give us our “Aguero moment”. In the League Cup it ended abruptly at the semi final stage as Benfica took us apart 5-0. In the Portuguese Cup it ended at the 6th Round stage as we lost to Porto 3-1. In the Champions League, it was tough going but we did well enough to make it to the Knockout Round.

It required results to go our way and they didn’t, and we were needing FC Porto to lose a couple of games and Sporting Braga to do the same, but it is progress. I think it may also be the first time we managed to beat Benfica, although they had an awful season finishing in 4th place and nine points behind us. A good season as we followed up on last seasons 3rd place with another. We finally managed to win our first major trophy as we took home the League Cup beating Sporting 2-1 in the final. We bottled the Portuguese Cup; we had a great chance of winning that having drawn Academico de Viseu in the semifinal, but we ended losing on away goals. Considering it is a Chaves vs Viseu final I would have fancied my chances, but alas not to be. We found the Champions League really tough and only got one win in the League Phase. We did get a draw at home to Manchester United which was very creditable, but we also got some batterings along the way such 6-1 to AC Milan, 6-1 to Tottenham and 4-1 to PSG. Still the money from the competition was very helpful and we will be back next year. YOUTH TEAMS A Fourth League title for the Under 19s in a row and they did very easily. We qualified for the UEFA Youth League this year and did very well, getting all the wat to the semi final before losing narrowly to Rennes. The Under 23s need some work, we didn’t make the Championship Round and were poor, but we did better in the Qualifying Round. Also, I have now decided to select the teams for the U23s and U19s. This was decided when we lost the U23 manager and I thought well I am getting annoyed that he sometimes doesn’t do what I want him to, so why don’t I do it.

We would go 21 games undefeated in all competitions after a few losses in the early season, and that would only end to the last team who beat us before the run started in Benfica, and it was a heavy loss as well 6-1 away. In the end we were in a battle with Sporting for the final Champions League spot and despite stuttering a little towards the end of the season was managed to hold our nerve and bag 3rd position. In the League Cup we would for the first time make it out of the group and fall at the semi final stage to FC Porto In the Portuguese Cup we would make it to the semi final stage and lose over two legs to Benfica In the Europa League we were magnificent, finishing in second place in the league phase, before knocking out PSV Eindhoven at the Last 16 stage, Feyenoord at the Quarter Final stage before losing to Tottenham over two legs in the semi final. An amazing season all told. For the first time in a while the bookies don’t us expected to finish dead last. The team is beginning to improve and so we are now hopefully becoming a major force in Portuguese football. UNDER 19s The made it three in a row quite easily as they won another National Championship. BEST PLAYERS & PERFORMERS Top Players 1. Aneximandro Carmelo 2. Fabio Leite 3. Ismael Toure 4.

We were very weird this season in that we only drew two games all season and we lost plenty, but we also won plenty more. We were flying as high as second place for a little while until eventually we would come a little down the table but we would finish comfortably in fourth place in the league and that qualifies us for Europa League football next season. The cups saw us exit at the Group Stage in the League Cup and in the 4th Round against FC Porto in the Portuguese Cup. UNDER 19s The under 19s smashed it this year and I mean really smashed it, they went undefeated in the Southern League, drawing only two, and then won every single game of the Championship Group to win a Second National title in a row.

ELECTRICO FUTEBOL CLUBE (PORTUGAL) SEASON 8 – 2031/32 Finances | League Results I | League Results II | League Table | Portuguese Cup Results | League Cup Results | Squad | U19 Squad | B Team Squad | Under 19 Results | Under 19 Table | Under 19 Championship Results | Under 19 Championship Table | Youth Preview | Youth Intake I | Youth Intake II | Transfers | Released Players YOUTH CANDIDATES ELITE | Fabio Fernandes | Joao Sousa | Bruno Andre | Nuno Teixeira | Gerogivane | Jose Silva | Martim Saavedra | TOP | Jose Seco | Miguel Freitas | Tiago Mendes | GOOD | Armandio Aguilar | Nuno Rosinha | Jose Morante | Luis Borrecho | Pedro Sabino Estrelado | DECENT | Ailton Mariano | INTERNAL MATTERS The following staff members came in Dani Quintana, Ignacio Izquierdo, Wang Zhan, Miguel Teran, Afonso Pinto, We got the club to agree to improve both the training and youth facilities in the pre-season. They will cost £1.8m and £2m respectively. This year we were allowed to study for our Continental A Licence. In October we moved into our new stadium. The Electrico Stadium, which has a capacity of 9,833 people. At the end of October we signed a new 4 year deal with the club. PLAYER MOVEMENTS Up to the main at the start of the season came Pedro Silva and Pedro Paulo. Some of the youngsters in the first team we worked to get them out on loan to Campeonato de Portugal sides. We let Vitor Ferreira leave to FC Porto on a free transfer. The guy was fringe player at our club and did not seem to have any potential left to fulfil so I would be surprised if it benefitted FC Porto. A notable player to be released this year was Raphael Le Quellec, who was a bit of a cult hero with us going up the leagues. He just wasn't good enough anymore but I quite wanted to keep him with us, unfortunately he would not back down from believing he was still a star player and wanted a decent salary, so we had to say goodbye. He is plying his trade at Cova de Piedade now still in Portugal. Over the summer AC Milan tried twice to get Fabio Leite, and went as far as £9.5m, but we are holding out for £11.5m as agreed with the player or instead to keep him if possible. Diogo Jorge who has been with us since the start of the game, came to me wanting to leave and I don’t really need him much anymore. So, we agreed a £7.25k deal for him to leave the club. He leaves the club as the top appearance maker with 232 league appearances. At the end of the January transfer window, AC Milan came in with a release clause matching £2.3m bid for Ivan Monteiro, which unfortunately would mean he would leave. They were gracious enough to allow him to remain on loan for the remainder of the season. However, after re-reading the rules of the challenge, I believe it is possible this would contravene the rules of the challenge, since it explicitly said that you could not loan a player even as part of a sale. So, I assume this refers and rules out loan backs, therefore we rejected the loan back. A shame to lose him but I knew it was going to happen and we kind of need the money. With the departure of Ivan Monteiro we called up Hugo Barradas from the Under 19s who was due to come up anyway next year. On Deadline day we had a structured offer for about £5m for Carmelo from Juventus, but we negotiated it £20m plus add ons and they walked away from the deal. We decided to renew some new deals. We were forced into including a £9.5m release clause for Fabio Leite. In a later contract the same season we would raise this to £10.5m After the youth intake we brought up Joao Silva and Rui Vallejo. A little bit later we brought up Diogo Sebastiao as well. Some moves at the end of the season saw Ricardo Fernandes, the golden boy of the team, now really only a B Team talent so we sent him over there. Bruno Reia who played a fair few games for us in the past also now moves across to the B Team. Finally Rui Costa, the elder statesman of the team, needed to move on from the team and he joins the B Team. RESULTS We started the season well win a great August to set us on our way. For the majority of the season it looked like we might push to the Europa Conference League place, but a really bad finish compounded by the fact we had to play Benfica, Porto, Braga and Sporting back to back meant that we ended up one position better this season that last season in 8th place. PERFORMANCES Top Five Performers Ismael Toure Rui Pires Goncalo Casqueiro Jan Reffet Umar Chidiebere We learned that Ismael Toure had won the Young Player of the Year for last year performance in the league Aneximandro Carmelo made the bench for the UEFA Under 19 European Championship Ivan Monteiro claimed the European Golden Boy Ismael Toure and Miguel Ribeiro are amongst the names for the NXGN award Ismael Toure and Miguel Ribeiro No 1 and 2 in NXGN announcement UNDER 19s It was a brilliant season for the Under 19s.
