    We fall at the first hurdle in the Saarlandpokal, the regional cup competition that can bring you a DFB Pokal appearance when you win it. We got the most difficult draw but did well before going out in front of 1,700 people. In the league we are doing quite well, our main striker Fabian Poß has already scored 14 goals in the league so far, unfortunately he's completely uninterested in signing a contract extension. This can be fun.

    Welcome to FV 07 Diefflen, who are playing in the German 5th tier at the moment (Oberliga Rheinland/Pfalz - Saar). An intriguing choice for me personally as they are from my hometown of Dillingen. Let's see how far we can come over the years.

    Their home ground is Stadion am Babelsberg which can hold up to 2,000 people.

    We are expected to finish in the top half of the league, there are currently 22 teams in the league. I have been given a two-year contract and I'm ready to go.

  3. So there is a long break between November and the final two games against Sierra Leone and DR Congo. I'm enjoying myself and watch a lot of football all around the continent, I'm learning the French language to communicate properly in Cameroon and it obviously helps me raising my stock in the football community. OGC Nice and Brighton invite me for a job interview with both struggling in Ligue 1 and the Premier League respectively. It's a nice early recognition of the start of my managerial career, but I thankfully reject their efforts. There is too much to be done in West Africa yet.

    African Cup of Nations Qualifier, Group I

    Cameroon v Sierra Leone

    So it's actually meaningless what we do in the next two games, time to rotate the squad before getting serious again at DR Congo. We host Sierra Leone in the Stade de la Revolution in front of 16,000 supporters and we're all out attack. Aboubakar is on a roll and he opens the scoring early before adding another one with a penalty. Many chances but no more goals before half-time. Zambo Anguissa adds a third one with a wonderful goal shortly after the start of the second half, all going well. The awful part starts now: Sierra Leone score with both their first shots on target, Kargbo and Bakayoko make it 3-2 with 10 minutes to go, I'm quite angry. Toko Ekambi saves the day though with a free-kick, we got away with some horrible defending in the second half.

    Final Score

    Cameroon 4 (Aboubakar '14 '22 (pen), Zambo Anguissa '51, Toko Ekambi '90+2) - Sierra Leone 2 (Kargbo '65, Bakayoko '82)

    Our final game will be at DR Congo who are now officially qualified for the AFCON after a 1-0 win away at Tanzania.

    African Cup of Nations Qualifier, Group I

    DR Congo v Cameroon

    Six changes are made for the wrap-up in Kinshasa, the only aim is to keep our winning run alive. The start didn't go as planned, DR Congo take the lead after 14 minutes thanks to a great finish by Wissa. Our balanced approach goes out of the window, we want to put pressure on DR Congo and it pays off, Choupo-Moting equalises after 35 minutes. The second half performance was actually one of the best so far, we controlled the match and scored twice thanks to goals from Lamkel Ze and Nkoulou. DR Congo tried their best to mount a comeback but no real danger came up after that. We finish with 18 points, 6 wins after 6 games and despite some hiccups in my first seven months, we send a message to the rest of the continent: We are ready.

    Final Score

    DR Congo 1 (Wissa '14) - Cameroon 3 (Choupo-Moting '34, Lamkel Ze '49, Nkoulou '53)

    Sierra Leone can win at least one game, they end their campaign with a 3-2 win against Tanzania.

    Tunisia won't be at AFCON in January, they finish 3rd in their group behind Angola (14 pts) and Cape Verde (10 pts, +3 GD).

    Algeria, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Guinea all finish with the maximum of 18 points, so this is getting interesting come January 2022.

    But before we can welcome 23 other African teams, we will need to deal with the African Qualifiers for the World Cup, starting in June. When I was told about the draw, I was shocked - only one team per group will advance to the 3rd Round:

    It will be us or Ivory Coast in the third stage of the qualification process. I want to make sure it won't be them.
