Am sure you'll do well in Indonesia it's a decent enough place to begin. Hopefully consolidate this year and maybe push on to challenge at the top next season.

ARC Oleiros 2020 - 21 season update
Our reward for beating Covilha in the Allianz cup is a home tie with our affiliate club Academica. Looking forward to testing ourselves against a top division team.
Confirmation of the season preview and we're still expected to finish bottom. I am quietly confident, based purely on last seasons performances that we can stay in this division.
The cup game brought not only a good performance but a victory on penalties, in which we socred all 5 of ours and new singing goalkeeper Kadu saving the decisive penalty. I am absolutley over the moon at this result and it only furthers my beleif that we have enough about us to stay in the league this year, if not push at the top end.
Before the season gets started the draw for the group stages of the Allianz cup is made and we're handed a tough one with Benfica,Estoril & Guimares. Not going to lie we'll do well not to finish bottom of this group.
So this is it, the start of the season proper, an away tie against Famalicao. First thing's first I hadn't noticed this guy in the most recent youth intake but he's pretty solid and will only get better, I felt I had to give him his first professional start which coincidentally makes him the youngest player ever to appear at this level.
The game itself was a masterclass as we went 3-0 early on and never looked back. Not only that but Boavista lost their first game at this level away to Cova da Piedade.
Our first home game of the new season and it was another where we went in the half at 3-0 with Duspara scored an absolutely worldie of a free kick. This is another game where we never looked like losing and once again another sign we are going to do well this season.

The Charles leaving us story came up again however the next day he get injured so he won't be leaving. I'm happy as he's a solid player and I want him to stay.
Our first loss of the season was away to Oliveirense 3-1. Not much to say other than we weren't good enough and for me if we get our bad performances out of the way early then hopefully we can keep up with the other teams at the top. Not only that but main man Vilmar got injured in this game however we've got cover so hopefully we won't struggle too much.
Last game of this update sees us draw 1 all at home to relegated Gil Vicente. A good draw all things considered and we got a deserved equaliser in injury time.
Jorge Jesus was confirmed as the Schalke manager. His career (in game) hasn't been all that good as he didn't do anything in Saudi Arabia so hopefully he can get some success in Germany. I'll be keeping an eye on his progress.
Next update I'll try and get a bigger update up, will see how Boavista have been getting on since relegation and rejecting me as well as our performances.
Thanks for reading!

Ahh yeah Journey man's journey was an epic read mate!! Glad to see this back up and running.
The average points system is a bit of a head trip at first but easy to understand once you figure it out. Hopefully the start of this journey doesn't end in relegation for you. Am sure you can keep this side up.

Yeah it is what it is but I've done alright so far with Oleiros and I'm happy enough to stay for the time being. Would love to be able to get them into the top league but it was a struggle signing who we did, so if I stay for the foreseeable you never know what could happen
Thanks man glad you're on board. Definitely over achieved so far but I genuinely thought i was going to get the Boavista job but happy for now. We'll see what happens.

ARC Olerios season 20120 -21 season preview
We start this update with what happened in Liga NOS, and Boavista made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. They are a decent size club and last season finished just above the relegation place and this season went all the way to going down.
This is interesting as they are interested in me becoming their manager. This would be a big step up for me if it happens however just like the last time I was wanted I won’t be actively pursuing this so I am going to let it play itself out.
End of season stuff now and it’s confirmed this is the clubs highest ever finish something I am very proud of! As well it’s confirmed we’re the seasons over achievers, I’d go along with that.
Duspara getting signing & player of the year, can’t say I’m too surprised he was definitely 1 of my main guys this season
Also 1 part of my personal achievements as I am now favoured personnel at ARC Olerios.
Confirmation the board are also happy, and so they should be. 1 thing that is slightly concerning is my job security, I would’ve thought with getting the club promoted in my first season when we were expected to be near the bottom as well as a good mid table finish this year when again we were expected to finish bottom would’ve made my job a lot more secure than it is. Not to worry though I aren’t overly concerned by this.
Quick update on 1 of Manuel’s idols Jorge Jesus and he has been offered the Schalke job after leaving Saudi side Al-Hilal. If / when he is confirmed I’ll post his career stats up to now.
Then this pops up. Not going to lie I am extremely happy and nervous about this.
Could it be happening….
We’re linked to center midfielder Sergio Duarte, I’ll scout him and see what the report says, if a deal can be struck I may pursue this one.
This season’s preview has us rooted to the bottom of the league, again. Well it’s up to us to show last season wasn’t a fluke and that we can repeat with a good finish. Boavista rightly so favourites to go straight back up.
The first game of the season is the first round of the Allianz cup but just before then we made 3 singings. First up is left back Sergio Akieme. I’ve brought him as it is looking ever so likely first choice left back Charles is leaving us for Paco Ferriere who got promoted. Not the best going forward but is at least on par with Charles in terms of defensive capabilities
Next up is Croatian center half Andrej Causic. He’s got rotation player written all over him however I am confident he can produce some good performances when we need them.
First choice goalkeeper Miotto didn’t renew his contract so there was an opening there and we filled it by signing Kadu on a free. Hopefully he can get us some of the clean sheets that were lacking last season. Definite improvement on Miotti and I’m happy to have him here.
A so-so pre season and now we’re at the first game, the first round of the Allianz cup at home to Covilha. This was a game we absolutely dominated and at 1 point I thought we weren’t going to get the break through. We did get a goal that was ruled out for offside* but we kept plugging away, despite their keeping having a blinding game we managed to get 2 late goals to put us in to the next round. I’m happy with this and hopefully we can take this type of performance into our league games.
That’s it for this update, next update will be the first round of games in our second season in Liga Pro and if anything else happened. Thanks for reading.
Career progress:
2018 - 19 | ARC Oleiros (Portugal) -- Finished 1st, won the playoffs, promoted.
2019 - 20 | ARC Oleiros (Portugal) -- Finished 10th, the clubs highest ever finish
*the goal went in then almost straight away the text at the bottom said the ref was going to the VAR assistant but the game just said the goal was ruled out for offside, it was offside but there was no animation or anything like that, weird.

If it's Claasen's database then he does link the Mayotte cup with the French cup mate

Cheers mate. Definitely a good season considering we were meant to finish bottom of the league. Will see what happens now the season has finished.
#450487 Back to the Journey man. A Lisbon lion's tale.
bigmattb28
That was definitely the case, whilst we struggled in the last 10 or so games the team only played well against bottom of the league Fafe, although that did confirm we stayed up, we could've maybe done better dare I say! We'll see what happens now in terms of what jobs are out there and what players we can attract.

Seriously, I'd go. As much as you may want, can Gulbene actually challenge Spartaks, or even Skonto (if they're still good) in the league? If it was me I'd leave on a high and go now. Can't wait to see what you decide to do......

Meu portuguese nao tao bom assim, mas obrigada!
I was worried we might slip up with quite a few heavy defeats but we managed some great results of our own. Depending on what happens during the off season, which I'll post later today or tomorrow, we may make moves to improve on this good season or I may move on depending on what jobs are out there. Whilst I've got no problem staying, there might just be an opportunity too good to turn down

ARC Oleiros 2019 - 20 season update
We get confirmation from the board of the expansion to the stadium. It’s all progress I suppose.
We then end January off in 8th place in the league. For me this is absolutely brilliant as we were never expected to be this high at all so all being well we can finish up this end of the league. Our first game of the final 14 sees us earn a 1-0 away win over Farense which sees their manager sacked straight after this game, more on that later. During the game left winger Pinto suffered a pulled muscle which will rule him out for upto 4 weeks. Whilst disappointed we do have cover on the flanks so hopefully we won’t miss him too much.
A 0-0 draw at home to Penafiel wasn’t much to write home about however another injury during this game and it’s a big one, Chico Chen who has played in most games this season broke his leg and is out for nearly a year. I am absolutely gutted at this, there are no words. Get well soon Chico.
We then somehow came away with a 2-0 win at Chaves in a game where we had 2 chances and took them despite being the second best all over the pitch. Any other game this could’ve been a totally different result. Happy with the win mind.
Remember when I said Farense sacked their manager after losing to us? Well they offered me an interview, however now is not the time for me to leave Oleiros so I politely declined.
Another 2-0 victory followed, this time at home to Varzim. A good win and performance to boot, it’s looking more and more likely we’re going to be staying up this year!
Following 2 wins we lost our next game to Cova de Piedade. Not much to say here we were bad and didn’t deserve anything from the game.
Back to winning ways as we beat Viseu 2-0 at home. Then we get confirmation of an injury to center half Toure which coincidently sees go on a poor run which sees us lose games to Benfica’s B team (5-1), Moreirense (3-1) & Leixoes (2-1) before grabbing a vital 5-1 home win over Fafe.
The Fafe game meant we were mathematically safe from relegation, mission accomplished! As well as that Paco Ferreira confirmed they’d be playing in the higher league next season
The final 4 games of our season saw us lose 3 and draw 1. The first being a 3-1 loss away to Covilha, 3-0 at home to Santa Clara, a 0-0 draw with Famalicao before the season closing 3-0 defeat to Arouca which saw them crowned champions.
After that poor end of season un I’m glad we managed to get points on the board early and get enough to see us finish 10th in the league.
The 10th place finish is an absolutely fantastic achievement for a team expected to finish bottom of the league, I couldn’t be happier with how this season has gone.
Next update is going to be who got relegated from the top league, end of season awards and what the future holds for Manuel Vargas.
Thanks for reading!

That's my main concern the consistency, or lack thereof. We're very susceptible to letting in the odd goal or 3 but with Toure coming in we won the 2 he started and the only loss was to the league leaders so I'm not too disheartened at that loss. Onwards and upwards from here.
