UP TO THIS DATE
Ok basically to catch you up, I started this save file with Inter Miami trying to learn the MLS rules I joined half way through the 2022 season and didn't finish in the playoffs, finished in the playoffs the next season but got knocked out of the shield thing, clearly didn't learn much, and then left half way through the 2024 season. Inter Miami went onto winning the MLS and the player I signed as my marquee signing won MVP….
After that disaster-class I decided to try and do the Hexagon challenge where I win all 6 Champions Leagues but I can't manage a team that has ever won the Champions League Before

JOERFE JOINS MANUKAU
After almost a year out the game I decided to take myself on a little holiday to New Zealand and join recently promoted Manukau who are predicted for relegation after their manager left to join rival club Auckland United.
After a bit of time at the club and my history at more senior clubs I managed to attract talent from Europe and South America and bring in a bunch of younger players that had been released by clubs like Bordeaux and Velez… We basically assembled a whole new squad by the end of the season
And the tactic seemed to work with me managing to keep the team up and only 2 places off going into the Champions Playoff and setting a good foundation for the season ahead

WE GET PLAYOFFS!
Despite us making no real new signings and only winning one game against the 2 biggest teams in the league we managed to secure the final playoff space and go into the end of the 2026 season with a chance to secure Champions League football, all we need to do is play 8 more teams against the top 3 teams in every sector and finish in the top two of the final season. With our record against the top teams being shaky I'm not sure how this is going to go but we'll see
Our top performing so far in the season is ex-Bordeaux youngster Enzo Grothe who leads the league in assists and has also scored 8 goals for us. Including a goal against both of the Auckland clubs

End Of 2026 Season
We showed a good account of ourselves in the Champions playoffs only losing 2 games and also beating Weston Suburbs who are the Champions League holders currently and also in the two games we drew and also the loss against Cashmere Tech we won on XG so maybe we just struck unlucky but I'm really confident we can finish higher next season as well… It's a long process
