2049/50 – FC Porto
Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3
Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersThere is something about trying to improve after a season like the previous that just doesn't make sense. I'm yet again left with coins for the transfer window and have to make the best out of it. Our hope is to replicate last season and it will be enough to secure some silverware.
Primeira Liga: We not only replicate, but actually improve by three points. I usually don't talk about my defense, but we barely let in a goal over the season. 26(!) clean sheets and just 10(!) goals conceded is the foundation of our title. Also helps a lot to beat SL Benfica 0-3 and 1-0.
Taca de Portugal: Same procedure as last year; knocked out against Sporting in the semi-finals. They went on to win the cup.
Portuguese League Cup: We do the double! Comfortable road to the finals, where a 90th minute equalizer sees us to penalties against SL Benfica. 3-1 after 4 penalties each sees us to victory!
European Champions League: We actually do quite well in this competition, with one big exception. Qualifies from the group stages, only to fall short against Barcelona, where we lose 1-0 in both matches.What a year, and how intense this league is. You can easily talk about "the big 4", and you're not really allowed any mistakes to win the league. That SLB-team is just insanely good, and I believe they are the best team in Portugal right now. But we were extremely lucky with injuries, and when you just refuse to concede goals you won't lose many games. There were some great talents in this squad that took the step up when I needed them to. Happy to finally get some fortune on this save.
With this I will resign from FCP, and most likely leave Europe for a while. There is a WC now in the summer that might open up a job in international management that I still need, and I might run to South-Africa to get the last Champions League. Onwards and upwards…

Back in Portugal after a year in Spain, and Real Madrid. Now at FCP, who won the league the last three years. There is not too much money to handle for the transfer window, but given the fact that they've been best for three consecutive years there shouldn't really be too many needs, right?
Primeira Liga: We're not doing too bad, finishing at 81 points. It's around where they've finished point-wise the last years. Unfortunately, SLB are doing better. We were chasing almost the entire season, and in the end we're 7 points behind. 2nd place is not bad, but it's not what I came here for.
Taca de Portugal: A cup to forget, knocked out against former employer Sporting in the semi-finals. They went on to win the cup.
Portuguese League Cup: The closest to a (counting) trophy I came this year. Gave away an early 2-0 lead only to lose the final on penalties to SLB.
Supertaca: The least important one, won against Braga.
European Champions League: Knocked out in the group stage. AC Milan and AS Monaco were too tough.
Europa League: 3rd place in group stage of Champions League means we qualified for Europa League. It was an experience to forget, as we got knocked out in 2nd KO round by Real San Sebastian.If 2nd place is best loser, at least I'm best at something… Underwhelming season, and this team lacks depth. Luckily I know where to improve, if given the opportunity. Portuguese league should we winnable, and hopefully SLB won't have a season as good as this again. Cups are mostly terrible, and we forget that they existed.

Thanks, Vikeologist. I'm glad you enjoy reading about my
failuresmisfortunes.Jokes aside, I'm glad that this challenge is completed before me. I find inspiration in the Hall of Fame, seeing how some of you kept it going until 2050, 2060, and even longer, still chasing completion. I'm certain that I will complete this challenge now, but it might still take a while.

I think @Skogmus just meant that if a nation has multiple cups, it doubles or even triples the chances of winning a cup in that country to go along with the league. Always a pain to win the league but no cup, and have to face the decision of whether to stick around for another year just for the cup, especially since even if you're the dominant team, cups can still be a bit of a lottery.
Exactly. Cups are a special thing where you need to towards your best at each fixture. Single-elimination is tough like that, one loss and you're out. Matchups over 2 legs are better than one leg, but you can still lose it on that one bad involvement. It just doesn't require the same amount of consistency as a league. Two cups gives you two chances to get it, you don't rely on that one opportunity each season. Even better, these small nations don't have a lot of teams so you don't have to go through a lot of rounds to potentially win it.

Good luck, ryanlion28.
The 2nd job in my challenge was at Geylang, and I found it to be a great place to manage. The league is quite competitive, and even though Home won the league by a mile this year it doesn't mean anything for next season. Also there are two cups, so chances are you might check off one or two marks for the challenge quickly. Personally I always had problems against Niigata Unicorn when I played in Singapore but they finished below you now. It's more than possible to make a league-winning team with only two foreign players, but you need to choose them wisely.

2047/48 – Real Madrid
Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3
Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersWhile looking to improve my Sporting squad for the season, the job at Real Madrid opened up. I applied and got it, so this season is with them. And what a ride it would be. A badly-rounded squad where half of them is closing in on retirement is what awaited me, and a transfer budget that didn't really had room for much improvement. Signed a Portuguese back-up CB for free and a AMR for £10M before the season started, where the AMR was signed to replace a player that wanted to leave (but nobody wanted to buy apparently). A couple of recruits from Castilla and my U19 team was the solution to be able to make a somewhat rounded squad, and we we're just looking to do the best out of it. We are predicted 3rd this season, so it could become a project for a couple of seasons to win the much needed title.
La Liga: Well, what a ride it was. Starting out with El Derbi Madrileño followed by El Clásico, we were in for a tough start. Got 2 points out of them, and figured I should be happy with it. Then followed a sequence of great results, but we were placed 2nd for most of the season; behind Sevilla. Going into the final few games it was a tight 3-horse race between Sevilla, Barcelona and us. At some point in the penultimate round we were placed 3rd, but we turned it around and got the title.
Spanish Cup: This two-legs matches in the beginning are quite annoying when you are much better than the opponent. Got to the quarter finals winning 9-0 and 6-0 over two games, but in the quarter finals we got knocked out. 1-0 and 0-1 against Atletico Madrid saw us out after a penalty shootout.
European Champions League: Knocked out in the group stage. Leipzig beat us twice, and Marseille had a better goal difference in the end.
Europa League: 3rd place in group stage of Champions League means we qualified for Europa League. Had an amazing run and got to the final, where the best match have to be 7-0 against Ajax. Lyon beat us 3-0 in the final, so finished 2nd.A bit unexpected to win the league, specially since we were placed 2nd most of the season, alternating between 1 and 7 points behind Sevilla. But since I got it, I see no reason to stay at Real Madrid anymore. I didn't win the cup here, but since it's not a requirement for the challenge I think I will take it somewhere else. Spain is probably one of the most competitive nations right now, and I think there is better hope at some other country. The European Championship is coming up this summer, so hopefully there will open up a spot managing a great nation after this, (hopefully one that qualified for Confed.), else Asian Cup is next year. Will look out for international management in the coming time, as well as I'll load up South Africa to prepare for the last Champions League.

Well, I won't stay at Sporting for next season. Finally had a successful interview at a Spanish club, and
Finally I landed a job in Spain, and it's with Real Madrid. Gap up to Barcelona from last season is quite big, but should be able to win La Liga within a couple of seasons at least. Hopefully it won't be a new experience like I had at Manchester City where Chelsea were unreal season after season and I had to spend way too much time to win the Premier League.

2046/47 – Sporting CP
.svg/179px-Sporting_Clube_de_Portugal_(Logo).svg.png)
Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3
Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersStill no opening in Spain, but at least I found my way to the Iberian peninsula. Never actually managed in Portugal before, so when I found an opening in what I think is one of the top clubs I jumped at it. There are some talent in the squad, but I there is an overweight of attacking players (AMs and strikers) while I don't really have a lot of options at defense and midfield (DM, CM). Tried to find some gems in the transfer window, but couldn't get as well-rounded squad as I would have wanted. We're suggested to finish 3rd behind FCP and SLB, but I hope to challenge for higher.
Primeira Liga: We're doing OK in periods, but fall apart in other periods. Really rollercoaster, and in the end we're closer to finishing 7th than 2nd. Not what I hoped for, but we were really struggling to produce results for periods so 3rd is probably the best we could hope for with such varying results.
Taca de Portugal: Easy through to semi-final, where we met SLB. 0-0 after game 1 and losing 1-0 in the 2nd leg after an own goal in the 88th minute. Representative for the season seen under one how we went out here.
League Cup: Semi final again. Out against FCP. They were better than us.
European Champions League: The one tournament I don't care about, and the one tournament where we produce one good result after another. Beat Zenit and Club Brugge to qualify for group stages, where we're up against Man. Utd, Wolfsburg and Steaua Bucuresti. Tough group where I think we realistically should get 3rd, but an amazing start with a win against Man. Utd followed by draw against Wolfsburg makes us top of group 2 games in. 4 points against Bucuresti followed by a loss against Man. Utd. means we need a point in final game to qualify. Win against Wolfsburg and we're through the group stage. Then we somehow beat Monaco in the 2nd round, before meeting Chelsea in quarter finals. 1-1 in both legs, 1-1 in extra time and unfortunately we had home ground for 2nd leg so they go through on away goals after extra time (what an absolutely ridiculous rule…). Overachieved a lot here.Not a season I would've wanted, and my best players will probably leave after the season. I don't know if I'll stay or go elsewhere right now, but if I stay something drastic have to be done to the player material.

Really feeling your pain @Skogmus do they have any insane players? or just seemingly one of those things?
Their players are great, but I thought ours were that as well. I think it's just one of those things.. Might just be so that they are good against the system I play. I never liked changing up a system within a team according to who I play, but can play different systems at different teams (you know, adapting to the player material). Over the 3 times they now beat me, I don't think we had our best games, but that can't be a coincident anymore. They really did neutralize us, even though I felt like we should win the WC one considering we played 1 man more for a while and gave it away on a stupid penalty in the end.
Looking at it now, I really don't know what nation I should hope for next. Turned down England and France while I still had the Spain job, so I don't think those opportunities will present themselves again. Hopefully something will open up soon, so the entire challenge won't be reduced to me having to win international competitions in the end.

2046 – World Cup
Losing out on confederations cup and a poor performance in the nations league meant that I probably had to perform well this time around if I were to stay with Spain until Euros 2048. Annoyingly I had to go into the tournament without my no. 1 striker, but I had hopes that the replacement would do well in his place.
Group stage
SpoilerSpain 1-0 South Korea
Spain 1-2 Denmark
Spain 3-1 PeruTurns out that the strikers I brought need 10 or some chances per goal to score a goal. Stumbles through a group where we really should have no problems. Need to figure something out quickly if we want to go far in this tournament
2nd round (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 3-2 Holland
An actual good performance. Tight game, but we get the goals needed. Quarter finals next..
Quarter finals (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 2-3 Germany
Those f**kings germans… Match started great, going up 1-0, which turned to 1-1 at HT. 1-2 after 48 mins, but then I got my hopes up when they were reduced to 10 men after 60 mins. Free kick following their red card got us a penalty and 2-2. Pressed for the win, but an astonishing defensive error in the final minutes gave them a penalty and 2-3. We're not going further…

SpoilerN/A.
Final / 3rd place play-off (if applicable)
SpoilerN/A
Man of the tournament: Juan Manuel. Only consistent performer. Delivered a couple of goals and assists, and got us as far as we did.
As I feared, quarter finals in the WC is not good enough. Sacked after the tournament. Will hold off international management until one of the prime jobs opens up now. Might have to skip the Euros 2048, but we'll se what comes up.
Final game of the tournament was between England and Scotland(!). England won the tournament, making them world champions for the 3rd time (1966, 2022, 2046).

2045/46 – Club Necaxa
Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2
Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersSince it proved difficult to land a top club job in La Liga, I decided to look elsewhere for a while. When I found the job at Necaxa available I just had to apply. The 'Apertura' (Opening stage) was almost completed (played 14 out of 17 games) and they were already qualified for the play-offs. Also qualified for semi-final of the Apertura Mexican Cup, because for some reason they split both league and cup in the Apertura and Clausura. The perfect opportunity to get a couple of quick trophies, and luckily I got the job.
Liga BBVA MX Apertura: As mentioned, we were already qualified for play-offs as I was hired. Finished first in the qualifying league, after taking 6 points in my 3 games before play-offs. Beat Monterrey 4-1 on aggregate in quarter finals before I knocked out Atlas on away goals in a 1-1 draw in the semi finals to see us to the finals. After a 4-0 win in the first match against Pumas, we saw the league title in with a 4-1 in total. Qualified for 2046 NACL.
Copa MX Apertura: First match for me at Necaxa was the semi-final against Querétaro, which we won 2-0. The final against Morelia were won comfortably 3-0 after Morelia got 2 men sent off during the match.
Liga BBVA MX Clausura: Having won the opening stage, I figured we should focus more on the NACL than the league this time around. Got to the play offs after a tight race for the 6 last spots. Lost in quarter finals against Cruz Azul.
NACL: Easy victory over Isidro Metapán in the first round, before we knocked Veracruz out on a 1-0 aggregate in quarter finals. Up against Tigres, which at that time were impossible to beat in the league, in the semis. A great 3-1 win away in first match was enough to see us to the final with a 3-2 win in total. Final against Morelia was tough after a 0-0 draw away, knowing that I had to win at home. Last game was moved (…) due to the Clausura quarter finals, but when we finally got there we got the 2-1 win.What was an amazing opportunity turned out to be an amazing season. Happy to now conclude the North-American part of this challenge, with NACL secured. I really found some great players in this squad, and 5-6 of my starting 11 is under bids and/or rumored to go to top clubs in Europe since I got here. Happy that I got to keep everyone for this season, as it wouldn't have happened if I lost them. Will now resign as there is nothing more to achieve here, and search again for a job in Spain. Also loaded up Australia and South-Korea now, but that's mostly to stabilize the leagues and try to generate players in a hope to challenge for Asian Cup at some point. Either way, next up is the WC with Spain, where we're looking to defend the title from 4 years ago (or, you know, don't get fired so I can stay for Euros…).

I hope so. Still have the Spain job, and figured there might be hope for another go on the two tournaments in 3 years time. Only problem is that I need to survive the World Cup 2046.
To make matters even worse, I decided to manage Spain U23 in the Olympic Games myself instead of getting some AI to do it. Both to see what talent there is for next generation of first team players, but also as a go for the Olympic Games trophy (which does not count towards the challenge, but why not try and get it when you have the chance?). Ended up 2nd(…) losing the final to France on penalty shoot-outs after being 2-0 up earlier in the match. Gives me 2nd place in 3 different international competitions(!) in the span of a year
Edit: Also at a new club job (finally…), and within 4 games I already checked off a new mark on the way to completing the challenge. Update will follow at the end of the season.

2045 – Confederations Cup
No new club job as my interviews at both Real Madrid and Sevilla were unsuccessful, so summer 2045 came quite quickly now. It's time for the Confederations Cup!
Group stage
SpoilerSpain 6-0 Algeria B
Spain 5-0 China
Spain 1-0 MexicoGroup stages in this tournament (at least when managing a European team) is just a formality. Won the group comfortably without any major injuries, so happy about that.
Semi finals (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 3-1 Japan
Resting up a bit before the final, again a match we should win easy. Goes 3-0 up early and from there it's all about saving energy for the final. Japan nets a goal, but we were never really threatened.
Final / 3rd place play-off (if applicable)
SpoilerFinal: Spain 0-3 Germany
A year after our loss against Germany in the Euros final, we meet them again in yet another final. 0-0 at half time, where we had the best opportunities, but halfway through second half they scored two goals within a minute. From there I had to throw everything in attack in order to try and get back in the game, but instead they got us on the counter to finish it off 0-3. So yet again we finish off 2nd.
Man of the tournament: Spain. Yup, the entire team. Can't pick one outstanding player when we don't win the one game that matters.
Instead of winning the tournament we did however win the Fair Play award. That has to count for something, right?

That's harsh, but wouldn't it be possible to load back Asian nations to manage? Still crazy to be left with only two international competitions like that.
Problem with the continental tournaments is that they only come every 4 years, meaning I'm looking at minimum 5 more years in international managements given that I actually win everything at next possible opportunity (Confed. 2045 if I can stay at Spain, Euros 2048, Asian Cup 2049). Would really like to have all these checked off before I complete the club management requirements, which I hopefully can be within 2055. It's by far the save I've gone most seasons in, and there are still many left...

It seems like I will get to keep it, although the job security went down quite a bit. 2nd place is not a bad achievement, but when you're so close... Hoping to win the Confed Cup next year at least, would really like some progress on the international check points.
Edit: Looking back at my previous international teams, I also got 2nd in the Asian Championship, which implies that I came in 2nd in both the continental tournaments that I'm missing…

2044 – European Championship
I was looking forward to this tournament. Reigning world champions and yet again a good performance in the nations league gave me hope that I would be able to challenge for this trophy. If not, 4 years is a long time to stay here (if I get the opportunity) before my next chance, so I would really like to check it off this time.
Group stage
SpoilerSpain 3-0 Sweden
Spain 4-0 Russia
Spain 0-1 ScotlandOverall a good performance. After the first two games we were through as group winners, and I let most back-up players play the last game against Scotland. Think we deserved at least a point from the last game as well, but it was all about qualifying for the next stage.
2nd round (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 4-1 Norway
Up against my home country (and second Scandinavian team for the tournament). Tough game, where we quickly got a 2-1 lead. Scored a couple of more late goals as Norway started pressing for the equalizer, but victory was not as comfortable as the result suggests.
Quarter finals (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 1-0 Switzerland
Mediocre performance, but good enough. Need to win on the bad days as well in order to win the tournament.
Semi finals (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 3-1 Belgium
One of the favorites, ranked 4th on the FIFA ranking (above us). Really good performance where we dominated the game and they barely got a shot off. Looking strong as we're heading into the final.
Final / 3rd place play-off (if applicable)
SpoilerFinal: Spain 0-1 Germany
As the semi-final was a good performance, this was equally a bad one. Unable to get any play going, and in the end Germany deserved the win. Annoyed to be so close and not getting the win.
Man of the tournament: Xavier Segura. 5 goals and 4 assists. Played a part in almost everything we did offensively.

Racking them up @Skogmus, good luck for the time to come.
Thanks, will put up an update later today on how the European Championship went. No new club job in sight after the Euros as I only landed offers from German teams (which I did not want). Still hoping for a Spanish team, but might just jump somewhere else if nothing interesting opens up.

2043/44 – Bayern München

Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2
Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersFinally on holiday, so I got time to complete another season. After my league win at PSG I resigned and jumped at the opportunity to be the new Bayern manager. This means I return to Germany with one goal in mind; winning the German Bundesliga. The squad looked decent enough upon my arrival, and there weren't really much money to spend, but since I had no goalkeeper in the team (including reserve and youth), I had to get a quality GK. After searching the market, I came over this Mexican class GK playing for Tigres that I got for practically nothing, and with him, my squad was complete.
German Bundesliga: The one tournament I absolutely wanted to get, and I got it. In front for most of the season, and in the end we won it a couple of rounds before the end.
German Cup: Would be nice to get a new cup, but a loss on penalty shoot-outs in the quarter final put a stop to it.That concludes my work in Germany, as I resigned as soon as the league title was secured. Now I only need to win La Liga as the required leagues, before I can choose more freely how to (hopefully) complete this challenge. Some of the big teams in Spain have managers under pressure now, and I hope to make a Spanish team my next club, as I would like to move out of Europe again (need to complete the North American and African Champions Leagues, as well as Euros and Asian Cup(?) for national teams). The European Championship is coming up now this summer, and the draw gave us a favorable group. Considering we are defending world champions, I hope to go all the way here, which in turn will qualify me for the confederations cup... If all goes well, I'll be looking for a completed national teams journey in a couple of seasons.

Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersFinally had time to get through a new season, and after leaving the post at Man. City I was hired at PSG. In other words, I'm back in France to get the league, which I couldn't get while I was at Bordeaux. I've seen better years at Man.City than I got from this year, but I wouldn't complain on the outcome.
Ligue 1 Conforama: The primary goal this season was winning the league to finish off France football from the challenge. A relatively close run in the league with Toulouse, which followed us almost all the way, but in the end we won it by 5 points. Could've easily lost it in the end if Toulouse also didn't fell apart the last few games.
French Cup: Short run, knocked out in the 10th round against OCG Nice.
Coupe de la Ligue: Knocked out in quarter finals against AS Monaco. Not able to win the trophy I won with Bordeaux a few seasons ago.
Champions League: Crazy tough group, going up against Dortmund, Sevilla and Anderlecht. Stumbled through on 2nd place, after starting with a record of 1-0-2 from the first 3 games. Barely took down Inter and Everton on the way to the semi-finals, before we took down Bayern in the semis. Chelsea waited in the final, which we lost 2-3 after extra time.
Club World Championship: Won for second time, no problems winning it when we were qualified.
European Super Cup: Beat Liverpool 3-2 after giving the lead away twice in the game. Good first match in the new club for me.Ligue 1 is now part of my trophy cabinet, and I have resigned my post. Going back to Germany next, hoping to win the German Bundesliga with Bayern Munich. Also in the midst of euro qualification with Spain now, finishing 4th in this years nations league.

2042 – World Cup
While managing Manchester City, I took over as Spain manager as well. In 2040 we ended 4th in Nations League, and 2041 we spent qualifying for the World Cup by winning all qualification matches. World Cup 2042 takes place in neighbouring Portugal, and we are among the favourites for the win.
Group stage
SpoilerSpain 5-1 New Zealand
Spain 4-2 Ivory Coast
Spain 2-1 SwedenEasy first game against New Zealand, before we found ourself in deep trouble at half time agains Ivory Coast. Fought back, and turned the game around from 0-2 to 4-2 in second half, before we secured the third win of the group stage against Sweden. We qualified for 2nd round with 9 pts.
2nd round (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 2-0 Serbia
Met Serbia, whom we played a friendly against just a week before the World Cup. Match was practically over after 15 minutes at 1-0 and Serbia being one man down. Scored the second one to secure the win, and we're moving on to the quarter finals.
Quarter finals (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 4-0 Peru
Lucky draw, as we were much better than Peru. 4-0 to half time, and just saw the game ending at that. Next up is the semis, where we will face up against England (and some of my former Man. City players).
Semi finals (if applicable)
SpoilerSpain 3-1 England
To quick goals half an hour in gave us the 2-0 lead. Went to half time with 2-1, and under heavy pressure in second half we countered in our 3rd goal just before the whistle went. Close on, but we're moving on to the finals!
Final / 3rd place play-off (if applicable)
SpoilerFinal: Spain 1-0 Italy
Great performance, not allowing Italy too many chances. We got the goal, and won the World Cup!
Man of the tournament: Miguel Mateo. Scored 10 goals, making him top scorer in the tournament. This includes a hat trick against England, and several more game-changing goals.

Manager Profile – Fixtures 1 – Fixtures 2 – Fixtures 3
Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersNew season done, and it is one to remember! Difficult times with lots of injuries on key players, but we pulled out a great year. New signings came through, and some of the youth prospects that were in the team when I arrived are starting to compete for a spot in the starting 11. Will just keep the update simple like last time, so here's how we did.
Community Shield: Close game, but lost in the end 2-1 to Chelsea. Match not at exciting as it was last year, but it was a good final game before the season started.
Premier League: We're again up against Chelsea in a duel for the league win, but seeing us winning over them early in the season gave us a small lead from the start. Pulling a great sequence of results together means we stay in front for most of the season, and Chelsea only winning 1 of the final 4 games gives us the title with a comfortable lead.
FA Cup: No problems in getting to the 4th final in this competition in 5 years. Chelsea again the opponent in the final, but this time we got the win 2-0.
Carabao Cup: Semi-finals, up against Manchester United. Lost 2-0 in game 1, won 2-0 in game 2. Went all the way to penalties, where we lost.
Champions League: This was not a priority, but annoyed with how we lost it. Got through the group stages in a rough way, ending 2nd in group behind Porto. Up against Bayern Munich in the 1st knock out stage, and got a 2-0 win from the first leg. 2nd leg was going good for a while, being only down 1-0, until 90+ minutes and they scored twice. Early exit and some disappointed players that wanted more from this cup.Having won the Premier League there is nothing else for me in Manchester City, and I'll resign and look for a new job. Want to stay in the top leagues of Europe, so has to be Germany, France or Spain next. But before I can concentrate on that, there's the World Cup in the summer, and I'll try to take Spain to the title.

Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersFinally have time to post this update, as it's been a couple of days since the season ended. Won't make it a long update, but I'll get down the important notes.
Community Shield: Obviously we met Chelsea, and what a game it was. Took an early lead 0-1 only to find myself down 4-1 after the hour. Pushed a lot more for attacks at that moment which payed off since we managed to get 5(!) goals the final 30 minutes. 6-4 in the end, and one of the craziest game I've played on FM.
Premier League: Again it's a two horse race against Chelsea, and again we fell short. Ended at 90 points, 4 points behind Chelsea, but I feel we should've won it this year. Dropped some points far too easy in the additional time, and lost some matches due to poor finishing. Really frustrating seeing this one slip, but we were closer this time around.
FA Cup: No problems in getting to the 3rd final in this competition in 4 years, but meeting Chelsea in the final saw us losing 0-2.
Carabao Cup: Once again we play our way to the final without any big problems. There we met Chelsea (surprise!), and even though we got a late red card we took the game into extra time with 0-0. Early in the 2nd half of extra time we got our goal and defended well to see it through.
European Super Cup: Having won the Champions League the year before we had to meet Europa League winners Tottenham. We had a terrible performance and lost 2-0.
Champions League: Won this cup last year and had other priorities this season. Easily through the group stage but went out against Monaco in the quarter final.
Club World Cup: Probably the most important one this season, as I didn't know when I'd get to play this cup again. Did not disappoint and won the trophy comfortably.For next season I'm gonna clear out some dead meat from the squad and invest in a quality striker. This team is the one I'll win the premier league with on this save, and I don't believe I'll get a better shot at it than I have now (and have had the last two years). Hopefully it's my turn soon, because this challenge still needs 10+ seasons to be completed.
In addition, I got the job as manager of Spain. Won my group against Portugal and Poland in Nations League, but fell short in the finals ending 4th. In the middle of World Cup Qualifications now, and hope to pull that one off next summer.

Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersIt's been almost a year since I last played at this save, but I've finally picked it up again. And I think this resulted in one of my best seasons of this save, if not the best. Couldn't win the league, which turns out to be a near impossible task no matter where I manage on this save, but improved a lot from last year and I'm hopeful for next season.Only conceding 16 goals and a league record on 25 clean sheets makes us the best defensive team in the league, and offensive we're not far behind Chelsea. If we improve a bit offensively I hope we can get that winning goal out of some of the matches we now draw to really compete for the title next year.
That being said, we had an amazing run in the Champions League this year. Went through the group stages undefeated only to meet Barcelona in the knock-out round. Not the kind of draw you want, but got an incredible 0-4 win from the away game followed by an insane 6-4 win ay home making it 10-4(!) in total. Then we beat Juventus 4-1 over the two games in the quarter finals, before we played a new crazy match-up against Real Madrid. Thrashed them 5-1 at home almost securing my spot in the final, and secured it by a 4-3 loss away, making it 8-5 in total. Really nerve-wrecking game but we got through to play Chelsea in the final. Got behind both 0-1 and 1-2 in the match-up, only equalising to 2-2 in the 94th minute, bringing the game to extra time. In the extra time we got the lead for the first time in the final, but it only lasted a few minutes before we were tied back up again, 3-3. Got to penalty shoot-out, and won it 4-3 after Chelsea missed their last 2 penalties. So in other words, I won the European Champions League!

Competitions – Player Stats – TransfersI don't think I've ever been as frustrated with FM as I've been this season. It resulted in a week where I just refused to open Football Manager because I was sick of everything going against me, but now I'm finally ready to move on. We finish 4th in the league, 3 pts. behind Arsenal in 2nd place and Liverpool in 3rd place, but 17(!) pts behind an unstoppable Chelsea team still managed by Antonio Conte. We play well most games, but we have too many of those days where nothing really works out. With a 4-0 win over Liverpool and 5-0 over Arsenal I think we show that we really have something going on here, but losing to teams like Swansea and Newcastle and drawing against several other lower-half teams is just not going to get us to the title. In the end we probably would have fell short of Chelsea anyways, but we really should have gotten the 2nd place this year…
Even though it annoys me to only get 4th in the league, the cups are what really annoys me. In the Carabao (League) Cup we deserved to lose against Arsenal in the qtr. final, but we deserved far more from the FA Cup and Europa League. Played 0-0 against Derby in 5th round of FA Cup after dominating the match, before we delivered an awful penalty shootout to knock us out.
Getting knocked out of Europa League was even worse, given that we have two matches to pull through. But after firing 37 shots (with 13 hitting target) we only manage to get 1(!) goal against my former club Bordeaux. When they also score on one of their two shots on target (4 in total) over 2 games, and this happens at our stadium, we got knocked out on away goals. I was furious as the board expected us to win the cup and we went out to a team that barely created anything…I have now 1 year left in my contract with Man. City and will give the Premier League one go here. I hope to get a better transfer window next season, as the board reduced the budget with over £70M before the January window this season, destroying my hopes on getting a new face or two in. Feel we look good defensively, but might need a DM, AMC and/or STC.

It didn't take long after my resignation at Porto before I found myself employed at a new location. This time I was heading back to Asia and South-Korea to manage Jeonbuk. They were in 4th place after approximately half-played season, and knocked out of the Champions League. Some points behind the leader, but could be possible to close the gap if things go my way. Also qualified for semi-final in the national cup before I arrived. No transfer window this season for me, so need to do the best of what I got.
K League Classic: Had to gain some points on the leaders, and didn't manage to close the gap. Ending in 3rd after giving away 2nd place in the final round.
Korean FA Cup: 1-0 victory over Busan in semi-final sees us through to the final. We meet league champions Pohang Steelers, and after 1-1 away, we park the bus in the home game with 0-0 to win it on away goals.
What more can you ask for? 4 months resulting in a cup victory. That's probably the South-Korean adventure for me. I have finally balanced the domestic cup/league wins, and I'll see to do doubles for the final four checkmarks. Have to do South-Africa next to obtain the last Champions League, and I'll see where I need to go after that in order to easier complete my international trophies.
I've also got a job as England manager after the 2050 World Cup. Qualified for semi-finals in European International League, and looking to compete for the European Championship 2052 which will take place in England.
