One of the goals is of course to make large as possible our trophy room ( most importantly the league ) and to dominate in Bulgaria.

TRANSFERS IN

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/u5qp1Rf0z0Z9eEZbvT4m7GlNmrbfl2iNL1MushAj.png

So i wont talk much about the transfers but with the plan i have on my mind i needed them ( and of course Ludogorets got them in real life ) but to make a resume we got Plamen Iliev from Astra as the plan is to sell Renan to a big club for a good offer and Iliev to replace him in the goal.

Serkan,Mahlangu,Bakalov and Popa are here to strenghten the midfield as we need a central midfielder and a wing player ( wont need Popa permanently at the club so thats why we loaned him,you'll understand why later if you read

)

As for Nedyalkov and Grigore we need to reduce the mistakes at the defence to the minimum and thats why they are here.

TRANSFER GOALS

Lets talk a little bit about the club transfer goals.The club avarege age is not that good so we need refreshment and thats why those players are here.If we manage to get them the club will have huge success in the upcoming seasons not only in the League but also in the European Tournaments.

Ludogorets it's always a very beautiful save to see!

About the championship. Three points are nothing special, I believe you will soon be first. in the champions you have been very well, an excellent job until entering the group stage and then in the group stage you assure the passage even more with a remarkable victory over the Juventus.

Against the benfica will not be easy, because I know the team very well (fan club) but who knows, the ball is round.

If i have to say something ... that probably will be that it was hell of a season the players were so tired after that RUN in the Champions League and we had so many problems in the league but we managed to win it in the end literally .We've won the league title in the last matchday against Etar with victory 1:0 while our rivals CSKA lost to Cherno More 2:4 at their home.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/rWhdPBu8jxFA6UambLTvoHpi28L8kF9Lt3ryf2CK.png

Two points difference in the last day made us once again Champions.The trophy cabinet already has 8 titles and we gonna fight for another one next season.

Our romance in the Champions League ended against Benfica in Portugal.After 1:1 at Ludogorets Arena and a defeat with 1:0 away from home Benfica eliminated us from the tournament.Well it was a performance to remember.All the players actually amazed me and im pretty sure we can do that happening permanently with a little bit more class and strength in the squad.

That's a hell of a season you've had there. It's a shame you lost the battle of the Eagles but it was a tough draw to be honest!

You've got a lot of money to play with as well, so get some reenforcements in and get going for next season!

@SirWerGaming Thanks dude ! I wasnt expecting the money too but that means only one thing its time to improve the team to the maximum.

@tongey Well thanks dude.In the first game against Benfica we were up 1:0 till the 91min then our goalkeeper did a mistake with the pass and the game ended 1:1

.In the away game we were unable to do anything we played in our half without even 1 shot :\

@Dan Thanks dude ! The league title was hard fought but as you said we were unlucky in the CL.I had a plan even before the budget was set so i did it in that season !

Season 2 - Ludogorets - Fly High Eagles !

Transfers

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/AofCVIhBgJXvfz2dJfQBx1XHLhY2zpcc0Zqf8PgX.png

After the successful last season in the league and the CL the board set a huge amount of transfer budget so i did my best and got my targets.Won't talk about everyone but some of them are really here to improve the class and get Ludogorets to a higher level.

We got Martin Minchev and Davidzada for the future of the team as Martin Minchev was a transfer target of Porto and some Turkish teams but we won the battle for the winger.

Let's talk about the bigger transfers of the team one of them is Stephane Badji from Bursaspor who was relegated we got the player on 3 years contract with the goal to strenght the midfield zone.

Also we got a trio from Romania in the face of Tucudean,Ianis Hagi (son of Gheorghe Hagi) and Florin Tanase to help the team in forward positions ( we had some problems infront of the goal )

The last transfers we made were the signings of Dan Bitton (my personal favourite) and Jorge Intima (Jorginho from AS Saint Etienne )Why Bitton is my favourite well he is young and creative player and its time for someone to step up and replace our legend Marcelinho in the role of Attacking Midfielder.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Bv7X34f5QsGHW9XBIiWQLKcvtLcb8AzLyl30ENzS.png

Bulgarian SuperCup

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/p9ah2LeZYkS332m9wp9nmClkwOo1ynS50s2QIxh8.png

Started the season with a trophy once again after a victory against Beroe 3:2 FT.

UEFA Champions League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/InxvagznQDqYGEjQrdd2GV89DyUIw6aUCIVxi8E0.png

Now let's talk about our elimination from the Champions League after those transfers we did before the season starts.Everything started fine we destroyed Birkirkara FC after that eliminated Duddelange and Qarabag to be drawn against Viktoria Plzen where we got dominated from them in our home Ludogorets Arena to lose 2:3 and in the away game they played so defensive that we didn't managed to get a clear position for goal....So after 14 millions spent we weren't able to qualify this season group stage of the CL.

Bulgarian League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XVZviqde13z2f3GqbrEA4tVJ76D0QBsgEsakm8wV.png

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PTuwSsJjSW7SrD8UPXPB4zSgB7aPZetQgUunL87y.png

Our problems weren't only in the Champions League actually they started there after our elimination.The team played poorly the whole half season and when i said that i bought that TRIO FROM ROMANIA to strenght our forward position i wasn't expecting this to happen.We were unable to score more than 3 goals most of the matches even against newly promoted teams as Tsarsko Selo and CSKA 1948.

So now there is 11 points gap between us and CSKA-SOFIA which we should be able to close in the 2nd half of the season with more sweat and passion while playing.

Bulgarian Cup

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/P5J4z9366OVVKoFmSCUmiUzVIsI060TNxbc728jQ.png

Another disappointing result in the end of a tournament for us.We are out from the Bulgarian Cup once again in the Quarter-Finals this time against Levski-Sofia losing 3:2 FT.

Europa League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UQcPWKBc3ihOjWYBPhC1SCteXDNc193gTRxqRzzz.png

The only positive thing right now in the season is our Europa League campaign.We won our group after some remarkable victories against bigger teams than us ( NOT RAPID (No offense Rapid fans

)) and now the goal is to get further as possible in the tournament and to win a CL entry if we can't win the league ? Why not ?

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VXON0yovBL1O0a9FRsH7HVnfwO2bGoEbRaRIiGxb.png

The first knockout draw was kinda good for us as we got At.Bilbao and its not the most strogner opponent in EL so we are happy wit the draw and our chances

I'll upload later the 2nd half of the season.Enjoy !

Well, quite different from last year. You did well to win the super cup but then champions and cup went to forget and championship with 12 points becomes difficult. Can you still get the points back and win the championship?

Only in europe league things are going well..

Looking forward to seeing how things turn out.

@SirWerGaming Well,i think that the european tournaments make us lose the league games for two reasons ( The right motivation for the games in the league games and the UEFA games ) and ( the tiredness after the traveling and the games there ) .... But in the end we are Ludogorets and the only goal is to win the league and qualify for the CL next year so we SHOULD be able to win it.

End of Season 2 - Ludogorets Dominating !

UEFA Europa League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TWOyPdMEQUWy8SAv3zFDVbi6k5oRrx3cSIIme7Sn.png

The first game cost us the victory against Bilbao.Losing 2-6 away from home was pretty much the end of us in the tournament for this year...even that the boys showed that they can fight in the 2nd game it wasn't enough after 3:0 victory at Ludogorets Arena.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/p2NLkagNr3fXA5BkkZLMAZTuEvaTC3FA7BvQD9oG.png

So the elimination from the EL helped us in the league and our focus was only and ONLY the league games ( there wasn't anything left tho ) and we once more showed why we are the champions of Bulgaria by winning the league once more and closing the gap of 12 points with CSKA to win it with 12 points more than them and 10 more than Levski.The goal is only one again for the next season .....winning the league and achieving something in the CL.

Hagi and Tucudean are becoming favourites of the fans which is very pleasing to see and hopefully they can give even more to the club.

I'll upload Season 3 soon....Keep following it means much and don't forget the GOAL for the next season achieving great things in CL !

Transfers IN & OUT

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Ey4QlU5FMuqrhAL67Lj1CYuG8cKpJXxB1EDHGXvX.png

Ludogorets finally after 2 season managed to sign with their biggest transfer target Mavis Tchibota from Bnei Yehuda for 2.3M.Tchibota will be a key part of the new season squad of Ludogorets and the expectations are high for him.

The other transfers were made in the defensive position where Ludogorets had problems in the last season and Ionita was the only player that was signed to replace his compatriot Ianis Hagi who was sold to Fulham.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZkVZMQXFJHlSaEqmMdRflxp2bwkQdr4PGjji8TYl.png

Ianis Hagi wasn't the only one who left Ludogorets after only 1 season at the club.Florin Tanase was also sold after the bad spell in Ludogorets ( mostly injured ) to Konyaspor where he will continue his career.
Another striker was also sold cuz he wasn't in the plans of the manager of Ludogorets.Brandao was on loan for 2 years in Salernitana and the team from Italy finally decided to offer him permanent contract.

Bulgarian Super Cup !

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6puK2s41SLFdxErL3C8UetnVls7pXQ3o4kNZnJf3.png

Ludogorets lost the Super Cup game on penalties against Levski Sofia after 1:1 FT.The team lost the SuperCup game for the first time since the appointment of their manager.Ludogorets board,staff and players congratulate Levski for their first trophy since 10 years.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/98B4WQaj0YRmVbkOcb41FnxSYIT9aXEukq6nu4po.png

Ludogorets started the league with a derby game against Levski Sofia and this time ( not like in the SuperCup game ) they won with 2:1 at home which gave a huge boost of confidence for the next game.....The best pack of games was in October where Ludogorets won all their games and Levski was once again smashed this time 4:1 away from home.Before the break Ludogorets lost his concentration in the league and the team lost to CSKA-Sofia and got a draw against Botev and Cherno More

Yet the team is in the first place with 3 points advantage againts Dunav ( doing a really good season i can be only happy for them ) while the rivals ( Levski and CSKA) are 3rd and 4th.

UEFA Champions League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/XWBkaoPyJ7XZklVnpBgf4W72sgKP1rMAvirJ9d5p.png

Ludogorets started the european campaign against Lincoln and with aggregate score of 10:0 the team qualified for the next round where they played with Viitorul ( Romania ).The best game of the campaing was surely the play-off's where Ludogorets and Beitar game was full of drama but the Green Eagles managed to win with 10 players in the 2nd leg after losing the 1st

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/AkdjGOCnQvz40hOWDlWlrCBYMEY2EUcnoWfkjQe7.png

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/PdVzIlAaaRoJW3fvSa66aQ7l07p4gS21TNrQ2U01.png

In the group stage Ludogorets was drawn with PSG,Barcelona and Dynamo Kyiv.The only chance was Kyiv as the games against PSG and Barcelona were the games that the team was going enjoy the moment talking about 3 points against teams like PSG and Barca was kidna impossible.The team started with defeat against Kyiv at Ludogorets Arena and was losing till the home game against Barcelona where Ludogorets won a point after 1:1 and a victory against Kyiv at their home ( sweet revenge ) was enough to qualify them for Europa League Knockout Rounds.

Once again we managed to win the league title ( so much easier this time ) but something felt off like it wasn't enough Ludogorets is a team that need to dominate to win everything possible and not only the league ....anyway the team played good and showed once more that its not ready to give up on the throne.The last 2 games the team used reserves as the title was already won.Also we shoudl notice that CSKA had an awful season finishing 5th and wont taste the european tournaments the next season.

Started the season with a derby game against Botev Plovdiv and everything was going fine until the first game against CSKA-Sofia when we lost 1:0 at Ludogorets Arena and gave the 1st place to them.....The games in the european tournaments is making the league more difficutl than it should be but all the tiredness and the right motivation playing one week with Real Madrid and the other with Slavia or Arda ( no offense tho ) Yet we have 2 points gap to close to get on the 1st place in the league.

Bulgarian Cup

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/1wpxekm1J6LTAl3oxT9hjDES9OJd97zx61rLDvv2.png

In the last season the team lost the final for the Bulgarian Cup but this season the team won a place in the semi-finals once again and will face Lokomotiv Plovdiv in a two legs semi-final game.

Bulgarian Super Cup

The team won his 5th Bulgarian Super Cup against the Bulgarian Cup holders Botev Plovdiv after 1:1 in the FT and winning 5:4 on penalties.This title makes Ludogorets the team with the most Super Cups with 1 more than CSKA-Sofia and 2 more than Levski-Sofia,

UEFA Champions League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/WW8EQ11qxHyodRSPF0LYq81OerBie0l6cTawTH7A.png

The team started really well in the Qualifications of the UCL with 12:0 victory against Llapi and eliminated them 19:0 on aggraget after that "Orlite"eliminated Vardar (Skopie) and Qarabaq to reach the play-offs where the Greek side Olympiakos said STOP to the Bulgarian side eliminating them after victory at their ground with 2:0 and losing 1:3 at Ludogorets Arena where the Green Eagles were so close to reach the group stages but Olympiakos managed to win on away goals..in a very dramatic game.The good news are that if Ludogorets manage to win the league again the next season they will qualify directly without playing in the Qualifications.

As a team that has a goal to play in the CL group playing in Europa League was easier task and the team showed it after winning the group stage with 12 points while Rennes finished 2nd also with 12 points.The team played some really good games like the oppening game against Rennes won with 6:2 at Ludogorets Arena or the victory against FCSB at their ground in Romania with 1:2.

The team will face KRC Genk in the First Knockout Stage and for the first time the team is shown as a favourite to win the tie this shows only that Ludogorets is making a name in Europe and we are one step close the be the kings of the Balkans,(Well we have to improve the things that happens in games like the one vs Olympiakos but still

)

TRANSFERS IN & OUT

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/TZYSMLPeDCu2FHBKjLGxXTd2yfdXHp1MNQcdYgMc.png

With the money of selling Martin Minchev the team signed with not too much players but a little but with quality.As you know the team likes to buy from Romania and Brazil and have a core of Brazilian and Romanian players we decided to continue that tradition so we got the Brazilian Goalkeeper Thiago and the Romanian winger Maliat.Nguinad was just another addition to bolster the quality in the team and he will play in the Wing Back position.
PS: Ivan Saponjic was signed while i write this in the winter transfer window so we will see what he will bring to the team in the 2nd half of the season !

Ludogorets sold his wonderkid Martin Minchev to the italian Salernitana for 6.25M euro which was a pretty good deal for the Bulgarian side in a finnancial way but still it showed that still we can't compete with the teams in the bigger leagues.....the team also decided to side ways with Jody Lukoki and Jablonsky.

Little off-topic wanted to thank Maribor fans and club for the one more great dramatic crazy game in our club history and to say that you guys also deserved to qualify in the UEL Group Stage in real life.Can't wait for the games tho against Espanyol,Ferenc and CSKA Moscow

@bigmattb28 Haha y i know right well ill be honest i was a kid watching only Premier League Seria A etc and never thought that one day ill be a HUGE TRUE fan of Ludogorets a Bulgarian side they just have a thing that i can't find in any other team so that must be it for you too. PS ( my friends are like dude are you crazy they are a Bulgarian side you guys have no future in Europe etc ) #WeAreLudogorets

It doesn't matter who you support how you choose to support man, as long as you're committed that's the only thing!

Unlucky getting knocked out of the Champions League, but well done on getting to the knock out stages of the Europa. Hopefully you can close the gap at the top of the league too.

@bigmattb28 Well it was a difficult season as you will see below.Yet we are not ready for something more in Europe as we always struggle in the away games in Europe.We should change that in the new season with some quality defenders i think

End Of Season 4 - Dominating in Bulgaria !

We've done it ! Finally after 3 seasons as a manager of Ludogorets the team managed to win the Bulgarian Cup after 2:1 victory against Levski-Sofia in a difficult game where the two teams were at their top form.Ludogorets reached the final after elimating Loko Plovdiv winning both of the games.

Once again Ludogorest is crowned as the Champions Of Bulgaria and this time the team won a place in the GROUP STAGE of the Champions League thanks to the new ranking of the league.So the team will celebrate not only the league title but also the place in the Champions League in the new season without qualifiers.Now back to the league it was a difficult season for the club and the staff and we should be honest every season become more and more difficult not sure if the other teams are improving their game or we are playing bad yet we managed to win the league and should improve the squad ( defenders ) for the new season for sure !

Well Ajax just showed us how to play when you are behind

We had our chances with the penalty but unlucky.We've won everything in Bulgaria so the only goal is the European tournaments right now for the new season,and thank you for following the story mate !

Just started to read this save and I am definitely going to be following this save for a while. I think what you should do with your budget, depending on how much money you have is to spend at least half of it on a good player instead of spreading out a few million dollar deals within a 20m budget. If you can get that extra marquee spark, hopefully that helps you to start matching the levels of bigger teams.

This is what I tend to do when I'm not at a 'big' club, and seeing as How Ludogorets in this save have what I'd call a stable team, 1 leading transfer a season would be about right

@Looch Well i think we failed in the transfer window for the first time in this career as you will see below what im talking about.Thank you for following the story !

@Dan Last season was good yeah but this season atleast the first half of it was a nightmare and i don't know why actually i have clue but not sure if this is the main reason ( bringing new faces and leaving important players 30+ yo).Thanks for following !

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/JSgqZE0MPw9Rdlyr7aoqEnu1SnUATpJEQHExSGBc.png

20M Transfer budget and only wrong decisions ? Is this the reason for the fall of Ludogorets this season ?The team decided to strenghten the defence line with one familiar face and one defender with potential to be a big name in the club ( like C.Moti ) but for now things are getting worse and worse Bochniewicz was planned to be the new central defender right to Jose Palomino who was playing before in Ludogorest in season 16/17...The other "good"transfer was the one in the right back position with Danny Da Costa from VfB Stuttgart again disappointing one....Denys Boyko also was unveiled as the new Goalkeeper of Ludogorets with his experience in european tournaments ( 1 final in Europa League with Dnipro) he was the perfect target atleast thats what the club thought.The last 2 transfers were in attacking position a central forward from Preston and an attacking winger from Rapid.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ZBY4rBH0dgHhqlue2DObjRhIybxntuVRmOHRWZBS.png

The season started with a defeat against Beroe and then actually everything was fine and then we started losing points and we still do.The team can't keep his advantage when the team is ahead and that loses us the points in the league.The team is 14 points behind the first Levski-Sofia and 10 points behind from the 2nd place where Botev Plovdiv is....The team is in the 4th place with 31 points and something needs to be changed..because the Eagles are not ready to give up on the throne.

The only positive thing is the Bulgarian Cup for now.The team won the first two games to qualify for the Quarter-Finals where they will face Beroe Stara Zagora for a place in the Semi-Finals.

The reputation of the Bulgarian League won us a place directly in the Group Stage of the tournament but we were not ready for that place....The team continuted their bad games from the league into the Champions League too.In a group with FC Porto,Napoli and Brugge the team is with 1 point after a draw at Ludogorets Arena 1:1 against Brugge.There is no chance for the 3rd place too so a disappointing season in the tournament for Ludogorets and their history.

I can't explain what happened to the team in this season maybe too much pressure or just wrong transfer window .......but the team was not ready for all those games in all those tournaments and we lost the crown and the right to be called the champions of Bulgaria....atleast for this/next season.The team played really bad and was like a middle table team whole season winning 1 losing 2 ....The only positive thing is that in the last games we managed to catch the last train for the UCL play-offs rounds and we have one more chance to make things right for the next season.Congrats to Levski Sofia this will be their first and last since for those 10 years.

Season 6 - Learning From Our Mistakes !

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/I6tCOr622IT9naiH22AHebQ7k05h6ycepWV7vh0H.png

Pre-Season

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/63mpdYPonwcbDDArlbGVEoTeBl3hZrRjI84LiJFI.png

The team was disheartened after the ending of the last season losing the throne of being champions of Bulgaria since 2011 was difficult to accept...but defeats makes us stronger not the victories so the team started the season with the hopes to be back where they deserve to be at the TOP.Ludogorets played only 4 friendly games but that was enough to show people that the team is ready.Winning with 7:2 and 8:1 was also good for the confidence of the team/players.

Transfers In

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jJK4DO0bxofef9ftOWxSZAoxVWj25xk2YNNITMvz.png

Mistakes were made last season exactly at this point of the season the TRANSFERS.The team fired most of their transfer related people scouts,analyzators etc and new staff was hired.The team decided to make the same old core of the team by Romanians,Bulgarians and players from Brazil mostly.Jose Alvaro also decided to bring a new formation with a defensive midfielder and thats why the team bought the young Vasil Stoilov from Dunav for 4.5M Two romanian players were also added to the team squad a forward and a goalkeeper.Two national team players which are expected to bring something that were missing last season in the team.

Transfers OUT

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/uHv9wbLPdNCjzq7omJuet8Su8kJr8M7eZq5bdSlO.png

If we are going to talk about the outgoing transfers well most of the failures from the last season left the team names like Cardona,Fiolic,Lukov are not anymore a part from the Eagles.

Bulgarian First League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/m8McLcQhIzoSNRfmfbBPf2b64SlJIuAZ9c2Nef5a.png

Ludogorets started the season with a difficult away game against Montana which was won with 2:1.The first game at Ludogorets Arena was enough to show the fans that the old Ludogorets is back and is ready to fight for his throne.The first derby with the new champions Levski was lost with 2:1 away from home but the second in the nest of the EAGLES Ludogorets won with the same result to win the top spot in the league table.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wuacjSXDhPSyadajz6hlNMO7vCvApCDGkLejZeWs.png

Ludogorets is at the top with 42 points 5 points ahead of the 2nd Septemvri Sofia another team that makes a really unexpected and good season.As for the "champions" Levski the team is at the 4th place with 35 points the other grand team CSKA-Sofia struggles now for a 2nd season at the 6th place with only 30 points.Is this the season where Ludogorets gets his throne back ?

Bulgarian Cup

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/86wZeHbqsRjJVzYG8rgG9ShFsR3grF6xIBerlU1v.png

With all those games in the league and the Champions League the team wasn't ready for Cherno More in the cup and was eliminated unlucky after penalties...which also opens more space and rest for the players for the other more important tournaments/games...but that doesn't mean that we are not dissapointed from the result.

Champions League

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/hRiMD9R7FZVxhx5NplumJKHbayuv7yDIEPDrPvey.png

The most prestigious tournament in Europe and we were ready for it.The Eagles started from the qualifications while the champions of Bulgaria was already in the group stage.Ludogorets won against FC Basel and took the sweet revenge against Olympiacos to qualify for the group stage and for the first time the CL was with 2 Bulgarian teams.The Green Eagles started the group stage with a games against Barcelona while in the other game from the group Juve was away against AEK.While Juve was destroying AEK ......Ludogorets did the impossible and won against Barcelona at home then the team won 2 times against AEK to qualify for the Europa League Knockout Stages but was ready to fight till the end in the group of the CL which wasn't enough to qualify tho.

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/L1zdRlis5ijiQjKg6p6WhLkshgT4v0l3DIzjr0dm.png

The team was so close to upset the odds in that group but 9 points weren't enough and Ludogorets will play in the Europa League in Spring.
