Seven games played and seven wins, Miramar are crowned champions of Maio. 

Now we go onto the Liga Cabo Verde, where we face a group stage consisting of Académica do Porto Novo, Ribeira Brava and my two-time former side Botafogo. Naturally I want to win all the games, but I won't take any pleasure in victory, should we beat Botafogo, I enjoyed managing them enough that I ended up quitting my job at Barcelona to re-join them.

While my team is in Group A, in group C is Mindelense, their presence in the competition means my other former side, Académica do Mindelo, failed to qualify from the Liga São Vicente, which is a shame as I like to see any of my former sides doing well, years after I departed.

After winning all of our games in the Liga Maio, my SC Miramar side headed to the Liga Cabo Verde in the hopes of coming away as champions of the Cape Verde Islands, though I wasn't actually expecting to win the competition, I felt we had an outside chance.

At the end of the group stage, we only managed to finish in second place, and unfortunately, as we did not possess the best record as a second placed team, were missed out on the fourth spot in the semi final.

With the season now over for us, I can look back with a sense of pride, even though we did not become national champions, we did well for a team where most of the players had not played together for long, with the starting XI having been largely built from scratch at the start of this season.

My return to Cape Verde was largely in line with my plans to wind down as I approach retirement, working here has largely been a stress-free job and it has been fun, though right now, I feel I do still have a few years left in me, though whether those years will be spent here on the island of Maio, or elsewhere, will be something I have to think on as I enter the post-season period. I could remain and work towards securing the Liga Cabo Verde title with Miramar, or I could look to see if there are any other options out there that might interest me.

On a side note, it was also pleasing to see my (fictional) daughter do well in her second season in Turkey, managing to finish third in the Süper Lig with Ankara Keçiörengücü, a team she took over at the start of last season, after they had just gained promotion to the league, under the previous manager.
