So we've just hit mid-season here in Uruguay and it's time for an update on how the team are doing in the league. There doesn't seem to be a cup competition for the teams in the Second Division so it's just the league to focus on for us. I'm just going to put it out there that I'm enjoying myself more in Uruguay than I did in Chile so take what you will from that...
MANAGER UPDATE
[i]The board are still annoying me and not letting me continue my coaching qualifications because of a lack of funds. It's so frustrating as I need to get them done in order to progress as a manager.
In better news though, the club decided to offer me a new contract and extend it for another year. Of course, I accepted immediately because I think we can build something good here.
Fixtures
We're 14 games into the season which marks half way for us. Things have gone really really well and I'm really excited to see what we can do this season. We started the season with a huge 9 game unbeaten streak and also didn't concede a goal in those 9 games. I've never had a team that has been so strong at the back before and it plays such a huge part in our success on the pitch. We don't score loads of goals per game but we get the job done.
The downside to the start of the season was the last 4 games where we only managed to find 1 win. I'm not sure why our form dropped but I'm certainly going to find out and put it right. 8 WINS, 2 DRAWS, and 3 LOSSES is something that I can definitely not complain about. We just need to keep the momentum going for the last half of the season and who knows, we may end up winning the league...(I've probably spoken to early)
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit in 2nd position. It's fairly close at the top between ourselves and Sud America so hopefully, we can come out on top at the end of the season.

The end of my first season in charge of Juventud de Las Piedras is here and what a season it's been. At the halfway stage we sat in 2nd position in the league, playing some really good football with some awesome performances from the lads at the back. Finances were slowly improving and things were looking up. What happened in the 2nd part of the season I hear you ask?
MANAGER UPDATE
No update on my Manager in this half of the season I'm afraid. Once again I asked for the chance to study for my coaching badge, once again the board said no. I shall keep asking though.
Fixtures
TAfter 12 more games of the season were pretty good for us. I felt that we had played better football in the first half of the season but we managed to get wins on the board and keep those points churning over. 7 WINS, 3 DRAWS, and 3 LOSSES is a good return for any team. The defence managed to keep up its high-performance levels and kept 6 more clean sheets.
LEAGUE TABLE
After 25 games of the season, with only one more game left on the schedule, the league table at the top could literally not be any closer. We sit in the 3rd position on the same amount of points as 1st and 2nd. Goal difference is what separates us. Can we win the title on the last day of the season and win the league?
THE FINAL FIXTURE
The final fixture was against a decent Cerra Largo FC team who had done alright so far this season. We know a win would all that would be acceptable and could hand us the trophy at the end of the day if results went our way. A 91st-minute goal from Franco Munoz sent the crowds crazy and gave us hope that we had the trophy in our hands! WHAT A DRAMATIC FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON...but was it enough?
CRAZILY ENOUGH, Sud America and Central Espanol both drew on the last game of the season which meant that we won the title by 2 points. A crazy achievement and the closest final day I've encountered on my many years on Football Manager. MY FIRST TROPHY OF THE CAREER!

@KEZ_7, Cheers mate, thank you for catching up!
@bigmattb28, next season will be a tough task but I'm confident in the lads, stranger things have happened after all!
@Dan, not seen a league that close on the final day before! Nail biting finish but I'm ecstatic we managed to cross the line in first place!

Last seasons title win is firmly behind us, and we've just completed preseason before our first season in the top flight of Uruguayan football The aims for the season are simple: to just finish as high as possible. I'm totally unsure at how things will go but we've made additions and I think we are a lot stronger than before. Some key players have left but we've replaced them well and we're ready for the season to start.
TRANSFERS // IN
Gaston Palacios // AMR // Free Transfer // Free
I bought in Gaston to be an option on the right wing. He's pacey with an eye for goal and seems to be good when coming on as a sub. He's definitely going to have a role this season and hopefully can grab a few goals.
Jean Pierre Rosso // WBR // Free Transfer // Free
Jean Pierre is going to be my back up right back for the season. Mathias Bogado is my number one but he's more than capable of coming in if he gets injured. He's only young so will improve as well.
Santiago Ramirez // ST // Danubio // Free
Santiago has come in to replace the outgoing Frederico Vinas. He's a quality striker with decent finishing and has everythign to be a quality poacher in this league.
Rodrigo Urena // DM // Deportes Antofagasta // Free
Rodrigo is going to challenge straight away for the starting holding midfield job. He's going to be a strong player in that position and I'm hoping he can be the link between the defence and the midfield.
Gaston Rosello // DL // Free Transfer // Free
Just like Jean Pierre, Gaston has come in to back up my left back Brayhan Pinheiro. He's young and has got the good potential to be our starting LB in the future.
Gaston Diaz // CM // Santiago Morning // £40k
My third Gaston in the squad. He's my big money signing and will be my key man in the middle. He's come in to replace Maximilliano Lemos in the centre of the park. I'm excited to see what he can do this season.
TRANSFERS // OUT
Maximilliano Lemos // Bella Vista // £61k
Frederico Vinas // Bella Vista // Free (End of Contract)
PRE SEASON RESULTS
We only had time for the 5 friendlies before the season starts. We have played a mixture of teams and managed to get 5 wins. A good win against Danubio who are in the same league should stand us in good stead for the season. The new lads have settled in well and are itching at the bit to get going.

I speak English and Spanish fluently on the game, hopefully, can learn a lot more on my travels.
@bigmattb28 I hope it continues to man! It's going to be a tough ask to be competitive in this division this season but the aim is to stay up definitely!

The Opening Stage of the First Division has come and gone and it's time to update you with how we got on in the first 15 games of the season. I'm not sure why they split it into two separate parts but I can't do anything about it so, on we go. I'm really enjoying my time here in Uruguay.
MANAGER UPDATE
I've been offered another new contract by the board so I must be doing something right. Of course, I accepted the offer and I now earn a massive £400 a week.
The only other update on my manager is that they have refused my coaching qualification request once again so that's still annoying me.
Fixtures
Draws have been my most common result this season so far. We've had a lot of them which I guess is a good thing, but also it's frustrating as we could've quite easily turned a few of them into wins. I have found that we don't score many goals which is hindering us in key matches. We need Santiago Ramirez to start scoring on a regular basis. It took him 15 games to grab his first for the club which isn't good at all.
So 15 games in, we managed to rack up 4 WINS, 8 DRAWS, and only 3 LOSSES. I'm pretty happy with how we've fared and we've equipped ourselves really well in the first season in the top flight. With a few key signings (one is incoming) I think we could challenge at the upper end of the table.
LEAGUE TABLE
We sit in 8th position in the league! Right in the middle of the pack which is well above where the media predicited we would finish. We're expected to be in the bottom 3 so I'm ecstatic with where we are. Time to improve on that in the Closing Stage.

Uruguayan Intermido
The Uruguayan Cup competition happens in between the Opening Stage and the Closing Stage. It's a group competition involving all the top division teams which are split into two groups. We were placed in Group B. As you can see, we managed to not lose in the competition and had 2 WINS and 5 DRAWS which is pretty decent in my eyes. We scored a total of 7 goals and let in only 4. If only we could have managed to grab another win instead of a draw as it wasn't enough to finish in the only qualification spot. It was 2nd place for us and that ends our cup competition for this year. Positive though.

@bigmattb28, Yeah we're doing just fine in the league, we're expected to battle relegation so survival is key. As far as I'm aware there isn't an average point system. I think it was in the Chilean leagues though...

We're done! The first season in the top flight of Uraguyan football is finished and what a 2nd half to the season we had. It was incredible. First of all we brought a fan favourite back to the club and he made a massive impact in the middle of the park. Anyway, here is what happened...
MANAGER UPDATE
I've reached my 100 games milestone. That's flown by to be honest, and unfortunately we couldn't mark the occasion with a win. Anyway my stats so far in my first 100 games are:
WON: 39, 34 DRAWN, and 27 LOSSES!
TRANSFERS // IN
Maximilliano Lemos // CM // Bella Vista // £62k
That's right! The fan favourite has returned. He wasn't enjoying his time at Bella Vista after they got relegated last season. He jumped at the chance to join us again and we paid the exact same for him as we sold him for so no losses there. He's a quality player and we needed someone in the middle to create chances. I'm ecstatic to have him back.
Fixtures
It's been a much better second half to the season as we managed to turn those annoying draws into wins. We also managed to score a lot more which always helps. The defence was at it's best once again and only conceded the 13 goals in 15 games which isn't too bad. We scored a total of 26 goals in the 15 games. Improvement is all around us.
9 WINS,4 DRAWS, and 2 LOSSES.
That is some form!!
LEAGUE TABLE
We managed to rocket up the table and finished in 3rd position overall. We finished on 62 points and a mile behind the top two. I can't quite believe our form and our position after we had been expected to be relegated. The board are understandably delighted with me, and the challenge to win the league is on for next season!

@bigmattb28, Yeah, I feel like he's my main man now, he's a fan favourite and he brings such quality to the team! Time to see how we can do this year with the added incentive of continental football added into the mix.
tongey
Pre-season is over for another year and I haven't made too many additions to the squad in preparation for the new season as I think we are already strong in most positions. We've got the added incentive of the Copa Libertadores this season (if we qualify) which should make for an interesting season. I'll be aiming to win the title this time around after a strong finish to last season.
MANAGER UPDATE
A little bit of news from last season, although the email just came through! I'VE BEEN VOTED AS MANAGER OF THE YEAR!! That's pretty impressive if I do say so myself. It's the first individual award of my career and I'm over the moon to have won it.
TRANSFERS // IN
Leandro Onetto// LW // Racing de Montevideo // £22k
Leandro should go straight into the team in the LW role, but I'm yet to be convinced due to pre-season form. It will definitely be a battle between himself and Zeballos to make that position their own.
Fixtures
A quick four friendlies is all that we arranged before the season kicks off. We have qualifying for the Copa Libertadores to get through so the fewer friendlies the better really. We managed 3 wins, including a really strong win against a decent Argentine team Argentinos Jnr. We lost the final warm-up game which was disappointing but 3 wins and match fitness is a good run.

@bigmattb28, Thank you, first of many individual awards throughout this career I hope.

My 3rd season in charge of the club has started and we're still in the top flight. We've also been entered in the Copa Libertadores which is a totally new competition for myself. Who knows what we can do as I don't really know how Uraguyan teams stand against the rest of the continent. The aim this season is to win the league and the cup. Tough ask but one I think we're up to in terms of quality.
MANAGER UPDATE
Just a quick update here, once again I've extended my contract with the club for another year. They are loving having me in charge and I'm loving being here to be quite honest. It was a no brainer!
Copa Libertadores
As I said before, this competition is a totally new one for me having never managed in it on the game before. I don't think we are expected to leave a mark in the competition to be honest but we gave it our best shot. We were drawn against Chilean outfit Universidad de Chile who are in the top flight in Chilean football. They were the clear favourites against us and showed their ability winning both legs. The first leg ended in a 1-0 LOSS leaving us with it all to do in the reverse fixture. We ended up drawing0-0 at home which was slightly disappointing considering we were at home and we just needed to grab a goal. We had lots of chances so to draw was frustrating.
Only positive was that we got a bit of money to go into the much needed coffers. Maybe next year eh?
Fixtures
When you look back at the form last season in the first half of the season, we started off well but tailed off towards the end of that section of the league. This time around we've done so much better. We've only lost the one game which is outstanding. We've kept clean sheets and more importantly, we've put our chances away at the other end. I'm so impressed with the lads and hopefully we can keep the momentum going into the 2nd half of the season.
9 WINS,5 DRAWS, and 1 LOSSES.
LEAGUE TABLE
WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE. What a season we are having. We sit top of the pile and lead by 3 points over Defensor Sporting. Let's hope we are still sitting here come the end of the season.

Last season we performed really strongly in this competition. This time round, not so much. I'm very disappointed with how this panned out but not to worry, there is always next year. The focus is on the league this season so all eyes are on that now. We only managed 2 WINS and 4 LOSSES, That's poor and not really acceptable for our club nowadays. We'll move on quickly from this.

We're all done and dusted for my 3rd campaign in charge. It's been one hell of a season and I've have results go in my favour and some games that have been frustrating to watch. We've performed really well and we've surpassed expectations once again. I still haven't found that striker that will score me 20+ a season so that's the target for the offseason anyway. Here's how we got on...
MANAGER UPDATE
Nothing of massive proportion to mention, but I've reached my 100th game in charge of Juventud de Las Piedres. That's come round quickly too, and here's to many more in charge of this wonderful club. My record in these 100 games are: 49 WINS, 31 DRAWS and 20 LOSSES!
Fixtures
So, what I didn't realise was that they take the [b]Intermedio competition results into consideration too when determining league position. So all those games I lost in that competition go onto the overall league table which is slightly annoying. We continued our league form into the second half of the season and continued our scoring in the process. Our record for the second half of eh season was 10 WINS, 3 DRAWS and 2 LOSSES. I'm overjoyed with how we've managed to establish ourselves as contenders for the title in just two seasons in the league. We score a total of 29 goals this half and conceded 16 in the process so that's good too. Huge wins against Defensor Sporting who have been challenging all season so it was pleasing to see us come out and beat them.
CLOSING SECTION LEAGUE TABLE
WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE, SAY WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE. We won the closing section of the season coming out on top. We managed to scrape over the line and win the section by only 1 point ahead of Nacional who have a mega strong team in Uruguayan football.
OVERALL LEAGUE TABLE
AFter taking into consideration the Opening Section, the Intermedio and the Closing Section we finished in 2nd position in the overall table. We finished 2 points behind Defnsor Sporting who won on 73 points, whereas we had 71 points. For some reason, we have been drawn in a Champions Playoff, I'm not sure why as we are 2 points behind them but I'll sure as take it. I think the winner of these 2 legged playoff will win the league and collect the trophy.
