All but done with only two games left. Looking forward to getting out!

After all that, I was sacked for failing to reach a points target - which was set by the past president, with the new president explicitly stating he was only going to judge from when the he took over (i.e. no points target) - yet, he sacked me for the points target.
Can we just take a moment to see that Cerro Largo match though, that ending was just tremendous. You'd never know I was on "very defensive" throughout the whole of that, including Cerro's third goal which can be seen below - gotta love that "very defensive" defending... as well as Cerro turning into Barcelona with the instant one-touch passing!

The game, for some reason, isn't awarding the relegation to me on my manager profile, but I'll still add it here. I think as it was an average points table, the game can't work out when a team is relegated? Who knows.
Onto job number two! Thanks for reading!

Definitely helped, the downs make the ups more enjoyable anyway!

Sometimes you have to go down to come up mate. By the time you get in your next role you'll forget all about this anyway

El Tanque Sisley are a really interesting club to take over. They are newly promoted* from the Segunda División Amateur (tier three), but were in the Primera División as recently as 2017. How? you may ask. Well, in 2017 (in real life) they finished off fourth bottom, level on points with, of all teams, Sud América so went into a relegation play-off to see who would be relegated. El Tanque Sisley won and survived the drop, but at the beginning of 2018 (again, real life), they were demoted to the second division for 2019 due to outstanding debt. I assume that's what FM has done, though their reputation is the same as Rocha (newly promoted) *so FM may see them as a promoted team rather than a relegated one.
As I mentioned, I kinda wanted to avoid this league due to the average points table, but after thinking it through I decided to return as I'll have a full pre-season to build with; rather than joining perilously in mid-season like with my former club. So, Uruguay - take two!

That goal is insane, by the way

Haha, it turned a would be infuriating moment into quite an amusing one. Cerro Largo's manager must be Mr. Guardiola in disguise!
Indeed! I'm hoping the pre-season will help, then I can use the 'joined mid-season' excuse for Sud América!

Us and Miramar Misiones are two of the fourteen teams taking part in the Segunda División for 2019, very interesting to see four-time Primera División champion Danubio as a competitor this year after they were relegated from the top-flight in 2018. It's hard to predict what will happen, I'm expecting a relegation battle all season long but we will see.
Off the pitch, I've made a number of signings. I also planned another, which would've seen me reunite with one Diego Forlán. However, despite agreeing everything on the morning (around 8am, acc. to game) of deadline day, the deal somehow didn't manage to go through by midnight. Ridiculous. I've managed to sign him on a pre-contract, but he now wont join until July - missing over half the season. I bet he'll get injured at some point when joining too!

For sure. Our opening fixtures are fairly kind, against a few teams that many would expect to be around us at the bottom.
bigmattb28
All the reason to be confident then mate. AM sure you'll have some good performances.
TinakoFM
March's results leaves me in a familiar position, bottom of both the regular season table and the average points table. On the plus side, if this carries on and I get the boot at least I won't get a relegation tally added to my résumé - all about taking the positives!

You're more confident in my abilities than I am! Indeed it is, I actually like managing in Uruguay despite my troubles thus far.

Yeah, April was very promising - things weren't looking good in March, shows how quickly it can change.

The next two months are pretty dull, with only two Segunda División fixtures to be played; lots of friendlies set. Not long until the season's end though, just eight more fixtures left to fulfil. Our only goal is to avoid the drop, which would be a big plus for the club and for me.
A: I've recently completed a coaching course for my National C Licence. I won't be doing another one yet, as I feel the coaching badges boost your manager up a bit too quickly - also, as the game states, you lose time on the training ground - which I don't think you'd realistically sacrifice in real life. In the off-season, I will:

A: Two new signings have arrived. I've reunited with Diego Forlán, as mentioned in a couple of posts ago. Esteban Fernández has also joined the club, a left-back who will eventually replace the soon retiring Álvaro Alonso:
