Cosmos FC
Season 25/26
We dominated domestically again winning everything but our 64 wins in a row in the league was ended by Domagnano who had a 93rd minute winner after I went down to 10 men. However we did have our highest ever win. 16-1 with 8 different scorers and 10-0 at half time. >> 16-1 <<
In the Champions League we qualified for the group stage again but had a group of death! Arsenal, Bayern, Atletico. We managed to beat Atletico but lost the rest and went out.
Our facilities are slowly getting better each year, it's just a case of waiting until they reach the top level in hopefully the next 5 years.
San Marino National Team
World Ranking 176th
We managed to finish 2nd bottom of our World Cup Quals group which I thought was good but the national FA were disappointed with the other results.
Group Marco Macina - Good player who came through at Sampdoria.
Overall Progress so far.

2032/2033 Season (FM19) - Part 2
San Marino Calcio
This was an odd year. In Serie A, things were pretty easy. AC Milan fell away in the second half, but Inter were pushing us. They were top, but we had 4 games in hand. We went to their place late in the season - and won with a 91st minute winner from San Marino's own Andrea Bugli. Inter never troubled us at the back. Now, in the Europa League, we beat Lyon and then Athletico Madrid - tough games - but then drew Rosenborg. We drew 0-0 away in the first leg - but the second leg they were 10 times better than Inter (or anyone else in Serie A) and we FM'd them to a degree to win 2-1. The semi-final saw us draw Man U - and they stuffed us. They only beat us 2-0 in the 2nd leg because they shut up shop for the first 70 minutes. They were 100 times better than any team in Serie A - and we were miles away from them. So, very odd that we've won Serie A 2 years in a row - but Europe still seems a long way away. I've got a Spanish striker due to sign in the window - and am looking for a few others, although am mindful about bringing young players through, but I think that might be a 2+ years away...
As I've noticed a number of the dual internationals representing Italy U21/20/18, and Mirko Palazzi is still NT team manager, I will see if the job comes open after the European Championship qualifiers - if not, I might force it as I need to see if I can pursuade some of these to turn out for San Marino.
Youth Intake
A star in the making possibly - although he's dual and Italy U18 have already called him up. I ended up signing all the Sammarinese kids with decent determination, as I figure I can develop them a bit better than if I let them go - I'm trying to get the board to allow me a 4th affiliate, with the plan to make that a San Marino League team to give lesser talents a chance to get noticed at that level.
San Giovanni
After a poor European campaign, it was another successful domestic campaign. There was that super annoying 1 loss (still not undefeated!), but outside of that we were very good. To attempt to do better in Europe next year, 4 signings were made. The big name was striker Matteo Montanari - he has 95 caps for San Marino and 28 goals. Originally he came through as a new gen at Fiorentino - but was very quickly snapped up by Udinese. At the point, I was managing the National Team, and he was a potential Serie A talent. He didn't live up to those expectations, bouncing around on loan for 4 years, and then moving to Ravenna who got relegated from Serie B. He was without a team and I'd been trying to sign him since the summer, but I finally managed to sign him in late January. He started 10 games and scored 11 goals - too good for the level, but I won't complain! We also signed a central defender, right winger and I'm using an AML/striker as a ML, and he's done well so far. I've got a left back joining as soon as the window opens - we're paying £80k for him from a Norwegian club, so hopefully he pans out.
Youth Intake
Not as much depth as last year - but still some at the top of the list who are very good prospects.
I hate Domagnano, I think they ended my 64 game winning run last season

Cosmos FC
Season 24/25
Finances Overall Best 11 Champions League Group Facilities Cosmos 2-1 Man Utd
We heavily strengthened in the summer with 12 new players to join our 19 man squad. Spend around 800k but a few came in on free and loans. Starting in the Champions League 1st Quals round for the first time we progressed easily to the 2nd round. Astana provided stiff opposition, we lost the 1st leg away but won at home and went through. The 3rd quals were easy but then we got Shakhtar in the Play off round. I thought that would be us out but our players had others idea. I couldn't believe it (Link above).
In our first group stage, we got Man United, Monaco and Hibernian. We managed to beat Man Utd in our first game 2-1 but it really should of been a hiding. We also won a home game with Hibs but lost the other 4. The Man Utd win provided crucial in finishing 3rd and qualifying for the Euro Cup 1st Knockout Round. We were paired with Hamburger but we were disappointing losing 4-0 on aggregate.
Domestically we won every game, league, cup and super cup again. I tried to get Vacca to beat Nanni's 59 goals from last season but he got injured for a few games and only got 53.
Facilities are improving gradually and so is the bank balance.

Season 22/23
Treble Winners
Started in the Champions League Preliminary rounds before progressing to the 1st and 2nd Qualifying rounds before going to the Euro cup and unfortunately losing in the play off round to Motherwell. I was 2-0 up from the 1st leg but lost the 2nd leg 4-0, my 2 goalkeepers left the day before the 2nd leg...nightmare. Ended up in Euro Cup 2 group but lost every game.
In the league, we won the first stage without conceding a goal. Had a dip in form during 2nd stage but still finished top and won play offs. Also won the cup and super cup. Board have agreed to turn professional, we have 4.7m in the bank and 2.9m to spend. Also building a new stadium which will be ready into over a year.

Season 21/22
Double Winners!!
Cosmo's FC go the whole season unbeaten! I released my whole team in the summer window and had a new approach to signing players which definitely helped. Instead of just using the player search, I went with DOF suggestions and also scouring over released players on 1st July from Serie A teams. We won 21 out of our 24 league matches and finally qualified for Europe at the 3rd attempt. The final play off game vs Juvenes Dogana was our toughest all season, we twice went behind but managed to overcome them in the end 3-2. We also defeated Domagnano (our bogey team) in the cup final.

Vitaioli, one of our San Marineese signings was our top scorer with 16 goals although he tapered off in the 2nd half of the year
Managed to sign Billy Mckay and Jason Puncheon in the January window, some players for this level.

Cosmos FC
Season 20/21
After last seasons disappointment of losing in the play off and cup semi finals we were hoping for a better 2nd season. I signed quite a few new players, none that stand out though. The first stage went brilliantly, we went undefeated winning 4 and drawing 3 to finish top of our group.
The second stage saw us hit a slump in form but we managed to regain it with January signings helping to finish 3rd and qualify for the play offs. In the cup we progressed to the semi finals again but Domagnano who always seem to beat us knocked us out.
In the play off quarter final we were drawn against.. Domagnano. I dominated the game but they scored a late goal to beat us 1-0.
Another disappointing season but I know this save is a marathon not a sprint, hopefully we can progress next season.San Marino National Team
World Ranking 183rd
Our Nations League Group D had us, Liechtenstein and Faroe Islands. I was surprised at how comfortable we overcame this group winning all 4 games meaning promotion to C Group next time around. Nicola Nanni was my top scorer with 5 goals, also a few defenders chipped in with goals too, Fabbri and Cevvoli.
In the second part of the season, the WC qualifying groups were drawn. Portugal (9th), Romania (32nd), Slovenia (56th), Israel (86th), Azerbaijan (139th)
So far we have lost narrowly to Azerbaijan 1-2 and Slovenia 1-3.

First season finished with East Kilbride in Scotland. Managed to finish 8th League Table which was good considering I only had 11 players to use. I got quite a good youth intake with some potential Best Youth Candidate. Looking forward to having subs next season but will probably be another season of Consolidation.
