In this save here, I am attempting to take Strasbourg right to the top of Europe. Focussing on their current model of buying young and unknown players, I shall be attempting to continue this model throughout the save, and only breaking it when I see fit.
This save is started right when Liam Rosenior has left to go to Chelsea, meaning that there was a manager vacancy which I was very happy to take. Using an updated transfer file from the 11th January, and the real results as of 5th January.
As a Chelsea fan, I have a soft spot for Strasbourg as they share the same owners in BlueCo. I shall be continuing to use Chelsea with loan players, at least for the first couple of seasons while I am still building the team to prepare for the Europe.

After securing Champions League football in my first half of the season in charge I was very pleased with the performance of the players and how well they adapted to the new tactics. I will even say that it was an unbeaten run from the first game in charge against Metz on the 10th January right throught to the 1-1 draaw at home to Monaco on the final day on the season. This run included a special 1-1 against PSG, where they scored in the 89th minute, a 3-3 draw away at Marseillle, followed directly by a 2-1 win over Lyon. The only loss in my tenure was a 2-1 quater final exit of the Coupe de France to Lille. An all in all brilliant season from the players.

The January transfer window was full of signings, with the most expensive signing of David Martinez for £6 million from LAFC. As the rules in France don't allow more than 4 non-EU players, this unfortunately ended up with the termination of Kendry Paez's loan from Chelsea to free up the extra spot. The marquee signing however went to Pedro from Lazio, which was originally agreed on a pre-contract to join on a free at the end of the season, ended up being 1 of the 5 players brought on deadline day, for a small fee of £500K, although an injury meant he only featured in 8 of the 17 league matches I was in charge for. I was also able to agree a deal for Saba Kharebashvili to join on 01/01/27.
The main downside is that I will now be seeing Emanuel Emegha off as he leaves for Chelsea which was a pre-arranged transfer. After scoring 13 goals and getting 5 assists in just 14 league games, will be hard to replace, but we'll see what transfers happen.
