More clubs than hot dinners some would say. Leaving Indonesia was an easy task to do. It was a stop gap filler and a chance to sample another nation with its take on football. I was never truly happy there and moving clubs at the moment I am trying to find a club to settle down for a few seasons. Is Wolmido that club? Who knows. There has been a few clubs pop up but at the wrong moments, notably in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Timing is key and I hope that when my time here is up I can move to a club that I want to manage. This club appealed for a few reasons. One was because I have created this North Korean league based on the limited information I could find and two this club has won the AFC Cup some seasons back and I would like to do the same again if possible. A bonus as well in this league is that there is no foreign player quota. So this could well be an interesting challenge. However, there is a lack of logos and kits for the league. As we know North Korea doesn't like sharing its information so it is limited. Three year deal means I have some security and a chance to build another dynasty in another country.
History of the Club
Wolmido Sports Club is a North Korean football club owned by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts of North Korea. Wolmido SC is based in Kimchaek, their home ground is Kimchaek Municipal Stadium, which has a capacity of 5,000. Bar from that, that is all the information about the club.
Club Profile - The club has had its moments in North Korea. Rarely dipping out of the top half. The club needs to find its form again. The club has won some serious silverware in North Korea but its recent poor form has meant that the previous manager was given his marching orders. Kits have been designed by myself, 110% sure they do not look like this but thought it would be an interesting take on the kit.
General Info - Predicted to finish 1st and the club ended in 5th. Not good enough. The club ethos needs to change. When it does things will get easier for the club. Some of the clubs favourite personnel are still at the club, I will of course treat them with some respect but if they are not good enough they will be shipped on.
Manager Profile - Things are seemingly level off. Nothing has changed really since the last update. Bars have pretty much stabilised into the positions they are now. I have given up caring about the numbers. I know what I am doing ... well I hope.
Facilities - Stadium is of a good size for the league and we possess poor facilities. I will look to at least improve the training facilities whilst I am here. Chairman has already agreed to invest in the youth facilities.
Squad - With a league with no foreigners quota rule it is hardly surprising that my entire team and many others have no North Korean talent. I would like this to change. I'd like to see us develop at least one North Korean player whilst I am here. I am going to target the best North Korean talent in the league for next season to begin the revolution. However there is some decent talent here. Whether it is good enough to compete on the continent is to be seen.
Staff - Could do with some serious investment. All the staff walked out with the manager when he left. So this is a great start.
Finances - Plenty of money here. Spend well and spend wisely a wise man once said.

First season in Indonesia and one that could hold an interesting period for me in the game. The team are already part way through the season and lie in 9th. Lot of football to be played. The club has been successful in previous seasons but nothing in the last three years. Hopefully with the right formula I will be able to change the club position and compete to get a continental football place.
My first game for the club was in the Piala first round. As you can see from then on it was all positive results. We really dominated the league and cup here in Indonesia. Victory over Perswia was a joy to be involved, should have been 10-0 but easily would take 5-1. The squad has gelled well and understood the tactics that I have employed and therefore results have been fantastic.
Won the league by 8 points. Would have been more had it now been for the odd results here and there before the end of the season. Two of our players scored over 20 league goals which is fantastic to see. We played a game that strangled most opponents in the league as they are not technically good enough to cope with. Very pleasing to turn our fortunes around.
The squad did well. As I said above, gelled well with me and understood the tactics. A few players were relegated to the U21's side as they began to moan instantly about the change of ethos in football. Easy decision to make. No one is bigger than the club. The squad does need a bit more quality in it. But I take little notice of the stars.
Not much transfers out. More in. Added some quality in. Used most of the transfer budget given. Will need to look to be shrewd next season with transfer deals. Don't want to waste the cash.
Finances took a bit of a dive towards the end of the season as we start to pay off the construction workers for our new training facilities, otherwise it has been fairly solid making a slight profit. Again careful managing is needed in the future.
Key Player Profiles:
Beni the young Indonesia U20s right back was simply outstanding for us. Loved getting forward and loved getting crosses in and assisting goals. He was very influential at the back and part of a defence that was rock solid. One of the major reasons for our turn around in form.
Ken from Nigeria just bossed this league. Brought in on a free in the February transfer window from his agent. Similar to James Eronna (remember him), who I felt had some outstanding potential but could never string it consistently. Be interesting to see how Ken gets on. Feel he is to good for the league. Expect another big season from him.
Brought in at the start of the season, and along with Ken he linked up well. Filled in mostly on the right wing but was lethal from there and upfront. Should have more international caps.

Next Season
Next season I make no doubts I want to leave Indonesia. Very similar to Malaysia and I have no real dream of staying here. Where I go next. Who knows. Maybe a move back to the Gulf or Korea.

I can see what you mean. Just found it frustrating that I can't register players until the transfer window. But then again the random days games are played don't help either.

Encountered a problem. Or at least the mess the previous manager left me to deal with. I can't register any of the main first team players for the league. I have to field the players from the U21s. How unreal is this. I am so frustrated. Feels like I have been tucked up here by the previous manager. Close to the way Glenn Hoddle left Wolves after his stint in charge there. Transfer window opens in February so just a handful of games to survive to allow me access to the first team players.

Leaving Japan after two successful seasons was always going to be tough of sorts. The last half of the season was a real struggle for motivation. I just had to plough through it. The same was the case to continue the journey. I did however find a club in Indonesia that appealed. Purely because of the clubs logo and kit. I dunno how long I will last here. When I took the job the chairman made some pretty tight clauses, no replacing the dodgy director of football, not allowed to apply for jobs and no investment into facilities as such. I don't like signing deals like this but at the time I was jobless and wanted to bounce straight back into management. I signed a one year deal only. So if I doesn't work I have a get out of jail free card.
History of the Club
Sriwijaya, is an Indonesian football club based in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. They play in the Indonesia Super League. Their most common nicknames are Elang Andalas (Andalas Eagle) and Laskar Wong Kito (Our Warrior). The club was founded in 1976 as Persijatim Jakarta Timur. In 2004, the Government of South Sumatra and Persijatim owner M. Zein, signed an MoU to buy Persijatim to became a new club Sriwijaya FC, based in South Sumatra. They are the first team that have done a double in Indonesia by winning both 2007–08 Liga Indonesia Premier Division and 2008 Piala Indonesia in the same season.
Club Profile - The club has been up and down in Indonesia really from the start of this journey. Rarely dipping out of the top half. The club needs to find its confidence again. I hope to bring some silverware to the club. It was not long ago that the club won the league.
General Info - Predicted to finish 9th and the club currently lie in 9th. I have some decent players so I should go above what is being asked. This journey is also not about completing leagues or whatever but rather sampling some countries that I would never manage in before. Hence why I am unsure whether I will stay here past a season.
Manager Profile - Things are seemingly level off. Bars have pretty much stabilised into the positions they are now. I have given up caring about the numbers. I know what I am doing ... well I hope.
Facilities - Stadium is of a good size and poor facilities. I will look to at least improve the training facilities whilst I am here.
Staff - Could do with some investment I suppose.
Finances - A club finance that has been and needs to be managed carefully and correctly. A well run club.

When I secured the Club World Cup this messaged appeared. So took a look. Not going to lie I have been looking from time to time at the Hall of Fame but as the Asian leagues are not that highly rated in reputation compared to the European scene thought I was going to be miles away from ever entering this. However I did and here it is.
Strolled into 16th and on the rise.

Second season in Japan and time to make hay. A successful first season at the club and the board expect the same level of success as last year. The squad has a lot of talent and must continue to build upon the form and momentum gained from last season. Last season was a particularly a spectacular one with the club dominating the domestic scene. We have a good chance on the continent this year, just need to ensure that the players are on the same wavelength.
We continued to play a brand of football not really seen in Japan, high possession and unbelievable tekkers. Not a real stand out game this season. Lots of good performances but did not really put a side to the sword as such. Our form slumped towards the end of the season which was disappointing but was going to happen as I was frantically attempting to rotate the squad to keep it fresh to compete with all the various competitions we were going for. Hopefully we can regain the title next season too.
Bossed the league from the off again. To win the J1 with a points margin of 18 is massive. To note we also set the record for the highest points total beating the record set by us. El Sayed scored quite a few goals, had he been fit he would have surpassed the Gamba striker who won top goal scorer.
Lost to a very good Lanus side. We battled hard but it was of no avail. The stats do not show the entire game, we were very good and had we have taken our key chances then we would have walked away with the victory. However the Argentine side are a different class so to lose so narrowly is not the end of the world.
Champions League glory was certainly on the cards this season. We progressed through the groups with ease, only rotating the squad to rest which saw results dip. But progression to the final was easy, we should have dominated sides more but fatigue and injuries meant we didn't. Teraktor Sazi Tabriz FC didn't stand a chance, had a fully fit squad to pick from in the final. El Sayed was dominant and really put them to the sword. Club has won this trophy back in 2025. Nice to get it back for them.
Took the Nabisco Cup again. Quite an easy road to the Cup. Pleasing all the same.
Not going to lie this was the biggest shock of the season. We struggled passed a dire Depmo side from India. Then against the odds we defeated Porto when we came back to win 2-1. Then in the final took an absolute battering against the South Korean giants Jeju but again took it to extra time and we gambled and went all out. Paid off and came away with the best club in the world.
Another cup win and defended the all important Emperor's Cup. We came quite close to coming short of winning this on two occasions. We had to rely on extra time in the 4th and Quarter Final rounds. New striker Nitta having to bail us out on both occasions. Saw off a resurgent Vissel side in the final and it was pleasing to come away with another trophy.
Won the equivalent of the Community Shield. Very pleasing to do so. Was a great start to the season, especially putting Uwara away.
Brought back another familiar man in Zungia. The guy knows me well and I know what he could do. A great free agent signing. Nitta as I have said above is going to be a class act for the club and Japan. Murabayashi from Valencia has some real pace and will come good for the club. Looking forward to see how he gets on. Big deal out was our Brazilian center back David who was unhappy and wanted to leave so when a bid of £2.5m came in I was only happy to obliged in selling him. South Korean defender Min-Haeng left for the side we defeated in the AFC Champions League final. Again he wasn't happy so an easy decision to let go.
The squad once again responded well to me. Fantastic team and a good blend of old and young. Lot of youngsters have a great deal of experience at international and club level which has been valuable to the club. New boy Nitta has a very big future in Japan and preformed well when El Sayed was not selected.
Financial outlook of the club looks very good. Managed to control the budget well and only using money that I make from outgoing transfers. Some strong cup runs and victories has helped balance the book and make us gain a healthy profit. Continue this next season and we will have greater money in the bank.
Key Player Profiles:
Koji was another level in the center of the park. Quite an individualist in the center of the park. Did not set up much for his fellow team mates. But he did score highly on the average rating but when you look at his match play stats he achieved little. Still a great squad player.
El Sayed was different gravy this season. Literally scored goals for fun. Had he been 110% fit then he would have easily scored more goals. Finding it tough to keep him at the club. Could well be on his way out
The Costa Rican center midfielder was essential for us. One of the better buys this save, has developed late but has been phenomenal. The Costa Rica Pirlo as I'd like to think, literally loves an assist and quite dogged in the midfield.

Next Season
Next season is a mystery. Unsure of what the future holds. I have taken the club as far as I can, I don't really fancy having another season for a couple of reasons. Motivation and also not being able to have a proper club home screen is the nightmare when managing in Japan. But the major issue I am dealing with is motivation. It has taken me forever to play through this season. I have looked at starting another career with another interesting challenge of sort. But fear that motivation and time would be a factor. Maybe that save could be one I do in the summer once the workload dies down. However I intend to plough on with this. Whether it is at this club is another question.
