Introducing our manager for the save, the Swedish lass Jessikka Svensonn. She played professional football spending most of her career with LdB FC Malmö/FC Rosengård in Sweden's top flight the Damallsvenskan. From 2013-2017 Svensonn played for Portland Thorns in the American NWSL racking up two championships while in the USA. After returning to Sweden she signed back with Rosengård, winning four more championships before calling it a career. While the 35 year old was offered contracts in the Women's Championship she instead decided to head into coaching full time. The former Swedish international takes over the recently relegated Dulwich Hamlet FC of the Isthmian League Premier Division to begin her coaching career.
Rules:
Starting in the 7th tier of the English football pyramid, the goal will be to manage for at least one season at every level in England. All coaching contracts will be completed in full and no moving clubs during a contract will be allowed, unless sacked. Following managing at the top flight of the English game a new contract with a new club in a different country will be taken.

After bringing a plethora of players in on loan, Svensonn's DHFC side went on a tear going unbeaten in 18 straight matches across all competitions. The streak ended in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round with an away loss to National League side Dagenham & Redbridge. DHFC will continue to compete in the FA Trophy and the Velocity Cup competitions.

Mid-December - Season 1 (2023)
Following the FA Cup loss to Dagenham & Redbridge we at the Hamlet have gone on another tear of 14 straight matches without a loss. That streak has FA Trophy wins, including an upset away victory over National League side Southend United, and two wins in the Velocity Cup. We now head into the fourth round of both the FA Trophy & Velocity Cup, with those matches to be played in January. In the league DHFC has remained consistently on top and now hold a lead of five points over Dartford. In player news goalkeeper Bradley Foster was picked up as a free transfer after injuries to two of three keepers and has quickly made himself the number one starter for the Hamlet.
