Decided to buy a new winger as well as two youngsters to provide cover.

Continuing with a good form. We concede more goals with new tactic (4-2-3-1) but I believe we have higher ceiling as we have really talented players to play ACM)

We did pretty bad in CL. I expected us to at least take a point against Man Utd and definitely beat Leipzig. We outplayed Leipzig hard - shots were like 20 to 1 but we just could not score. If we beat OM, we still go through.

One would say it is easier than last time - but Tottenham are the reigning CL champions.

We trashed Anderlecht in friendly and then beat Tottenham 1-0 at home. Bad thing is that Chalov got injured next game against Saturn so he will not be available for the rematch. We also beat Zenit and advanced to Russian Cup semifinals where we won 6-1 in first leg against Rostov.

We score three away in Tottenham and advance to quarterfinals! We also drew against Spartak in league which means an end to our perfect season aspirations. And we move to Russian Cup finals where we will play Spartak.

We played an even game against Real Madrid in both legs so I am happy with that. We reached quarterfinals this time so there is a kind of progress to be seen. In league we won all our games and celebrated title 4 rounds before then end of the season.

That's a very good keeper

I think he will not reach the same quality Akinfeev had in his prime years but he's the best Russia has to offer in terms of goalkeepers and I really do not want foreign goalie.

Thoughts

I am not sure where to invest to make the team better. Perhaps a CM? Thing I love about this save is that these players do not bitch about me not selling them - this literally never happened to me so far. Chalov, Almada, Morilla, Vlasic, Zobnin, Brecao - they all are getting offers from the World's best teams and the only one who ever came to me about the move was Zobnin, after I rejected Real Madrid's 50 million offer. I told him I can't guarantee us winning CL but I can guarantee us reaching latter stages. He said he's okay with that and I never heard from him again. Really great group of loyal players (makes it hard to even think about replacing someone. I am not thinking that only positions I can realistically get better players (maybe) is b2b midfielder (currently Akhmetov/Oblyakov) or DL (Schennikov/Magnusson).

Good pre-season followed by win in Super Cup and two good wins in Premier League including win against Spartak with Di Maria.

I decided to sell Morilla even though in the past there were better offers I rejected at the time and 50% went to Gijon. He was injured throughout entire season and also started to moan about me rejecting offers for him so I decided it is time to move him on as I believe we have better players anyways. I tried to sign Magomed-Shapi Suleimanov almost for the entire save but only recently Krasnodar would let me buy him for his release clause (20mil) but he decided to go to Borussia Dortmund instead. As my little revenge I bought Gravenberch from them for 12mil what is an absolute no-brainer as he can play DM, CM and ACM and is one of the biggest talents. Also bought Claudio Gomes for only 4mil and Semenov from Ufa for a pocket change.

Beat Arsenal at home again. We continued our win streak until the game away at Spartak where we only drew. We started to concede quite a lot of goals though but it may be only because of the hard schedule.

First of all we managed to get a new record win in Premier League and after that we smashed Milan in CSKA Arena. Two games later came a big shock when Rubin beat as and we lost a game after 58 matches in a row.

Excellent stuff. Can you put up a screenshot of Almada? 

Along with the b2b mid I think perhaps you ca improve in the AML position by getting someone of a similar or better quality than Vlasic. Maybe check on Almada’s old teammate Vargas.

Thank you! Sure thing. On AML I tend to rotate Sigurdsson and Solomon and they both play really well this season. Vargas currently plays for Monaco and his value is 59m :D

Here is Almada:

We beat Liverpool 3-0 at home and drew 3-3 away which means we advanced to semifinals where we will play Arsenal. I was quite delighted as we already beat Arsenal twice this season. We did not play very well against them this time though and only drew 1-1 at home, making it very hard for us to advance further. We also won 4 our of 5 games in league and celebrate fifth title in a row.

I am really gutted that we lost to Arsenal on penalties.. We were the better team in both games but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. I am afraid I will not be able to hold on to Almada for next season so I am not quiet sure when we will be again this strong. On the bright side we won Russian Cup finals again versus Spartak.

Becao wanted to go so I let him, he's a club legend but I think he's replaceable. Already bought his replacement in Onguene who was transfer-listed in Liverpool. Also bought Jota from Benfica - he can play on both wings so he can alternate for Vlasic / rotate with Solomon. Also it was a sad summer for CSKA fans as Akinfeev decided to retire.

First of all I decided to sell Mario Fernandes to Genk. He was not starting for us anymore and he wanted a new challenge so I said why not and let him go. We needed to replace him with someone and since I signed Rasskazov from Lokomotiv for a fee of 1mil. Also we signed left winger Veron from Lanus for a fee of 2.5mil.

Zobnin and Almada were injured for the game against Napoli but we still should have done way better. We were actually up 2-0 and conceded 3 goals in last 15 minutes, shameful. At least in Russian Cup we did well as we hammered Krasnodar but the very next match we played very bad again and only drew against Rubin.

In the first game against Real Madrid we absolutely demolished them - we could have scored way more goals than 2 but I was still happy with the 2:0 win. Come the rematch we played way worse and were down 1-0 pretty quick. In 70th minute Almada tackled Gabriel Jesus against the rules and he's got red card + penalty for RM. When they scored third goal in OT I thought it was gonna be over but Khokhlov who never scored a goal for us yet scored great header and sent us to the semifinals. In Cup we hammered Rubin and will play Spartak in the finals again.

We drew away at PSG thanks to Solomon mostly but overall we were the better team. In a rematch at home we won 2-0 thanks to two very late goals by Chalov and Vlasic, but we were controlling the match all game long - we will play Champions League finals! Big surprise came two weeks later as we lost to Spartak in Russian Cup finals and it won't be a double for us (yet).

We actually did it! Perfect performance from Nosov, Gravenberch, Onguene, Chalov and Jota. We were controlling the pace for the entire game but FC Porto was very dangerous with their counter-attacks. In the end we did not really let them to do anything and just controlled the game to its end. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!

* I actually have written a minute-by-minute review of the final but accidentally closed the chrome card.. and even though usually it saves the post - this time it did not.

Amazing story man, any offers from clubs yet?

Thank you! For a while I was thinking I would just wait up until some really interesting team looses its manager but then I decided to basically accept the first offer (from a club from these cities I'd like to bring CL glory to) as I did not want any time to waste. I can move whenever I want anyway.

A newly found team that never won silverware yet - ideal challenge for me. The aim will be to overcome the turkish "big-three" - Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas and hopefully in the future win Champions League. The team is way worse than CSKA was when I took them over but I'd say the finances and facilities are better.

Pretty hard first month on the job but we managed to beat Galatasaray away. Too bad we only drew against Malatyaspor - we really should have won that game. My biggest issue is that our star attacker (and record signing) is playing really bad so far - that needs to change.

Transfers

Basaksehir had really aging squad and it will take me a while to rebuild them the way I like. So far this preseason I managed to sell Junior Caicara, Muriel and Salih Ucan. Something i did not want to happen is selling Baris Bozkurt - this wonderkid wanted to leave but I would not let him - I do not want to be a selling club but the board decided the offer was too good to pass. Well - I used the money to sign Yanis Begraoui from Lyon and few more players. Anjorin from Chelsea will see play time if we play 4-2-3-1 as he's our only good ACM. Salcedo came on loan with an option to buy for 7.5mil and he should rotate on left win. Halil Demircan is a great turkish talent and he will see some play time or RW. Tomasevic and Churlinov came to provide more depth in the position we needed it.
