After stepping down from the Real job, Massimilliano Allegri took my old job, leaving the door open to walk into the Juve job. I'm very confident.

After success in Spain, our tour takes us to Italy and Juventus.
A media prediction of 1st and I'm straight under the cosh for results. Let's hope the team can play my tactics sharpish.
Another strong squad, a little on the bloated side. I'm not entirely happy with the left flank so I'll be looking for a new winger and LB. That midfield is ridiculous, Pogba, Vidal and Pirlo. *swoon*
Joe Boy
First player through the door is one Memphis Depay from PSV. We really needed a left sided winger, and Depay truly fits the mould. Bags of talent.
And the new LB. Left sided full-backs are at a bit of a premium it seems, so I was sort of stuck with Clichy....
Chuffed to bits with Hulk. Monster wingers to feed Tevez.
LOANS IN
Needed a half decent back up in case my sexy midfield got injured
TRANSFERS OUT
*slight changes to these, my game decided to shut down before I could save. Signed all of the above just for slightly different moneys.
Joe Boy
First Juve trophy and a personal defence of one of my own titles. UEFA Super Cup wrapped up against my old Real team no less. Looking at their team sheet, it felt bizarre to see them with no wingers, especially after all of the investment and talent I threw at that squad.
Anyways, it didn't feel great to beat my own team so easily.
Joe Boy
A great game for Depay, who had a bit of stick from the press for a poor debut, shut them all up with a brace in the first 10 minutes.

Off topic, does anyone know how to get rid of this at the top of my stories etc? No idea how to associate a game :s

After drawing the 2 and losing 1 of the first 3 games, who'd have though I'd still be able to top the group?

And a couple more end of year accolades.

A sad injury to Chiellini has ruled him out for the next 3 or so months, so needed a good CB for the spring run in.

Anyway, 100 games in so here's a nice little summary...
Also worth mentioning, Pep and Laurent Blanc are getting itchy feet

Oh...we've got it all to do in the second leg. TBH, I don't think we'll turn this around. Let's see.

A 15 point swing in my favour with only a couple of losses. Juve were always favourites to win it but I'm happy to have won it as emphatically as I have.
Just a quick look at the stats will tell you how good we was this year. Top 5 average ratings and they all played most of this seasons games. My new winger signings providing most of the assists. And Pogba, what a beast. 21 goals from the centre of the park. Cracking.
They love an award ceremony in Italy...
My second manager of the year in a different country
Season 2 summary to follow.
Joe Boy
No awards for any of the Juve players but a few in the team of the year.

By all means, go for the Marseille and Schalke jobs after Arsenal...
