noikeee Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've speed-read all of this this morning, probably my favourite career of yours so far, very interesting. Looks as if your stint with Parnu has been one of the most successful yet, just lacking that league title which would be a big achievement, fingers crossed it's this year.

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Dijon Football Côte d'Or, commonly referred to as Dijon FCO or simply Dijon) is a French association football club based in Dijon. The club was founded in 1998 as a result of a merger between two local clubs in the city, and competed in Ligue 2 after suffering relegation from Ligue 1 in the 2011–12 season. The club earned promotion back to Ligue 1 at the end of the 2015-16 season. This is my shot, I'm managing a team in a very big country, can I hit the ground running and make a name for myself in the big-ish leagues? It's still worth a shot..

I know that... but how? From top to relegated in a year takes some serious skill - even you couldn't pull it off It's pretty interesting that 7 clubs in San Marino have gone Semi-Pro even without you managing there. I wonder how they'll do long term financially without you there to drag up their TV money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no idea in all honesty, they went from being champions of the Hungarian 3rd tier in 2020/21, to 1st tier winners in 5 years and immediately find themselves in the 2nd tier again. And I could try For now all Sammarinese teams are secure financially with San Giovanni being worth the least at £400k and Tre Penne being worth the most at £1.8m. 2 hours ago, dynaboyj said: Wow, what a save so far!
