No titles won except for Second Division.. is the manager that never won anything the right one to bring some trophies to the cabinet?

Some interesting name there including Schneiderlin, Mangala and David Silva. Stanislav Lobotka is rated as our best player by far,

Unfortunate end to your Boavista adventures, but you bounced back quite well, good luck with Vigo!

Thanks! I was not really enjoying my time in Boavista in the last season, so this is a fresh start for me.

I would say this is a decent start! Especially since with our current tactic we are 4-0-0.

8ae782dc692b550d274d691ff11b020e.png

First thing I have done after my appointment was getting rid of Schneiderlin who had huge wage and was not so good anymore. Escudero was kind of the same thing. Araujo wanted to go so I let him as soon as I got his replacement. Hernandez and Sendra was brought in by DoF and I am not really sure why (before I joined the club), Esparza might be decent in the future even though I agree he does not look so good now. Kukovec was a bargain since he's already starting for us. Ander Herrera is 33 but he's still rated very well and he is one of my favourite players so it was a sure thing. He was appointed vice-captain after Araujo departure aswell. And finally Felix Uduokhai is a replacement for Araujo - their current ability is almost the same but he has bigger potential for sure.

Very hard month with decent results.. We seem to struggle hard against basque clubs though.

 

And since our defense is rated very badly I could not let this opportunity go. Sergio Ramos will join us for his last year of professional career, as he already announced retirement but was free player until we signed him. He still gets called for Spain national team and last season played 20+ games for PSG with 7.32 rating. He's rated as our best CB by far (by one star to be precise).

SERGIO RAMOS

The curse of the Europa League seems strong in Portugal! your league form only ever seemed to pick up after you were knocked out. Hope the same doesn't happen with Celta Vigo.

That U19 year old you have looks like a world beater! 6 goals in 2 games. Looking forward to reading more

Hopefully we beat the curse by qualificating to CL :D He is still not very consistent so I can't start him permanently I guess.. still having trouble with finding the right striker.

Shame about Portugal. I had 5 seasons going through the leagues in Portugal and really enjoyed it! 

Looks like you have landed on your feet brilliantly with Vigo KUTGW!

The same thing happened to me in second game in a row - four season just went terribly wrong. I hope it is not some kind of Mourinho effect :lol:

SEASON 2022/23

dcb782e04c49edef6b4ee67e2374fec0.png

Vietto did not make into team of the season even though he played almost every match and Berghuis played only a few. Honorable mention goes to Uduokhai who played quite a lot of games as CB and also played some as LB when Mario Rui was injured.

David Silva is not here because he just retired.. He did not play a single game though.

a227bc62bb704fb5df4951027a2ebd09.png

When I joined, managerial support was a complete opposite - "very poor" due to my inexperience.

25 goals and 14 assists as ACM? Not bad.

Thanks!

Ramos made it into La Liga best lineup even though he is 37. Shame he's retiring. I signed him as a coach though.

d6ce3cf15ee5622974ce086029cb5d9a.png

So my ACM is Europe' most lethal finisher. And on 2nd place is a guy from my youth in-take in Boavista! He's about to be the next very huge thing.

Decent start although conceding 4 to Atletico is something that should never happened. I am happy with draw in München as I was a bit afraid we will get smashed.

Lets get my revenge from my time in Portugal!

230127c3d82e442db013edadbea940ed.png

I promised the chairman to sign youth players and I did not that quite do that in last season so here we go. Some of them might be flops but some will definitely play a huge part for Vigo in the future. Our captain Hugo Mallo wanted to go to China really bad, so I let him. That means our defense is way worse than last year, with current budget I just could not find any good CB and RB whole summer. Scheffel could be huge!

There are a couple at the end of last season in the "Barca have already won the league" post that I can't see, but the rest are working.

Finishing second is one way of beating the Europa League curse! Though hopefully your league form improves.

@scarp Me neighter. I can see almost all the pictures in other topics.  Strange. Thanks for checking though. :thup:

Edit: it seems to have something to do with .png files, as I found out I have the same problem in other topics. Files that are .jpg or .gif are viewable, all .png files are not.
Clearing / resetting my browser did the trick.

Edit2: more specific, it was i.gyazo that was blocked by privacy badger. Allowing to view content, but without cookie tracking solved it.

We are knocked out of CL by Napoli who won on away goal. I am happy with my team though, I had Mula and Schefell out for first leg and that is why we could not score, I am confident that with them we would be able to. In league we had some hard matches as the league is VERY close this year. Memorable mention to our home win against Barcelona (3-0)!

SEASON 2023/24

36e2ddfec641ccd297fd7712d90f75cf.png

I am quite happy with the season. The drop from last season was not so bad and we have got great results in Champions League, all that by playing attacking football. We could have definitely finished higher in the league but we did not because of lack of depth in our squad. My biggest fault was letting Hugo Mallo go as he wanted me to double his salary what I rejected but should not. I still did not get much money for transfers so lets see who we can get next season.

Good to see our youngster Prados getting some recognition even though without injuries he would not be starting.

Even though you finished 6th, 71 points is a decent return! Great campaign in the CL and before the next season you should be able to put your stamp on the team.

On another note, can I see a screenshot of Jose Rodrigues (your Boacista youth player)? And also - the pictures all work for me.

Brought three great players for free, Konaté as my new starting CB for 6mil and Lars Butter for 2mil (I am not sure here though.). Let three youngsters go on loan partly because UK left EU and McGowan counts into non-eu players.. and got rid of Barcia for some cash.

Thanks a lot! I hoped a bit bigger transfer budget since we got so much money last season.. But I guess that'd be too easy.

Very tough schedule for us in January made us lose three games. I am mostly disappointed with our loss to Sevilla - we lose to them all the time and it probably means we will be out of Spanish Cup in semifinals. Real Madrid seems to be unbeatable in league and we are down 6 points on them partly because we lost to them in January but they were honestly just better.

918d06c7d53206d509dfdc9d4e39044b.png

Napoli met Ben Woodburn's release clause which means he's leaving us after only 6 months of playing for our colours. Silvero leaves aswell as we do not need him and he was not the best pick up we made. On the other hand we signed two promising central midfielders and one CB/RB from Madrid who immediately jumped into starting lineup and helped us beat Barcelona 3-0 earlier in the month.

Great month as we beat Internazionale (who are still number 1 in Seria A) to get through in EURO Cup! We also get knocked out from SC in semis by Sevilla.. and guess who we face next in EURO Cup? Sevilla! A team we can not beat under any circumstances it seems.. Hopefully we get our revenge this time. Usually with this amount of points after 25 games we could be looking for title but Real Madrid is 23-1-1 and we are nowhere near catching them. Also we beat Atletico 6-0 at home!

Another great month in league and we move past Everton to EURO Cup semifinals where we will face Tottenham! We will finish 2nd in league which means CL Groups next season. We still get lower transfer budget than half of English Championship teams.
