I am new to this forum and inspired by the careers posted on this forum to write my own career blog.

I want to travel around Europe and win as many trophies as possible. With each club I manage I will decide what goals I would like to reach before resigning and hopping to the next job.

To make the trip more fun I edited all European countries (except Liechtenstein) so I can play in 200 leagues in Europe.
I will start my journey in one of the 7 lowest leagues and will stay with a club for at least 2 seasons, unless I got sacked of course.

The lowest playable leagues according to the reputation table in FM2013 are :

Kazachstan 3th level
Armenia 3th level
Israel 5th level
Wales 3th level
Moldavia 4th level
Portugal 5th level
Norway 5th level

To decide where to start I applied to all vacant jobs in a country for a month and got in total 145 job offers in 4 countries (Israel, Wales, Portugal & Norway). From these job offers I choose a club with the most potential (wage structure, stadium capacity, transfer money)

I'll start my career at Konnerud in the Norwegian Lower League. I will stay with the club for at least 2 seasons. My goals are getting promotion to the 4th level and get promotion to the 3th level. After 2 seasons I will decide what competitions I will do next. These are the 3 leagues above and below the 4th level of Norway according to the reputation list of leagues in FM2013. I will resign my current club and look for a club to do my next challenge.

I will keep you up to date at least every season.

This is my post of the first season of my career. As said before I started with Konnerud in the Norwegian lower division. In my game the division has subdivions. And the first 2 teams will qualify for the promotion play-offs. So I had to become at least second at the end of the season.

I had already a few good players in my team so I only needed some players for the first team. I also added a few reserve (junior) talents to my team.

This is the team I used in the first season.

In the league all went quit well. The start was a bit slow. But after I changed my tactics in July to 4-2-3-1 at home and 4-5-1 or 4-2-2-1-1 in away games the results became better.

With my second place I qualified for the promotion play-offs. At the end of the season I came only 3 points short for winning the league. The league tabel I will post later since I can't find the screenshot at the moment and O will make a new one tonight.

I won the play-offs from 11 meters. All match I had a good feeling about this, but it was a thriller the whole match. But promotion in the first season was really great.

Below I post some more screenshots of the first season.

I accepted the contract offer and will stay at the club to see if I can get good results in the higher league. I think my team is good enough to play mid-table already. Maybe a better striker is needed.

I hope you enjoyed my first update. Feel free to give advice and critics.
