#219415 Gabriel Batistuta - Batigol is back!
picchioni
Wage: 1M Euros (month)
* This is the transfer budget they had for the past season, I have not yet discussed with the board the expectations for the upcoming season
Review:
I am not completly satisfied with our squad as Racing don't have a really "hardworking" squad. I intend to reformulate the entire squad in 3 years or less, and this season I will be looking to use a lot the transfer market. Also I want to implement a lot of youth player so I will be looking to upgrade my staff to the best possible

As part of my objective cited in the beginning of the story I had to become a manager of one of Argentina's big-five team. And no team is better then Racing because they have a fascinating story, here are some main points:
Completely dismissive of the disastrous performances on the pitch, Racing fans have made suffering into a virtue. On March 7, 1999, when the club was temporarily suspended from the league due to bankruptcy, they (the fans) turned up in full colours at Academia (stadium) all the same, throwing paper and fireworks and singing for 90 minutes as if the game were in progress.
When Racing fans were out celebrating their World Club Championship win against Celtic in 1967, Independiente supporters entered the Racing stadium and buried seven black cats around the premises. This, for many Racing fans, is the primary reason for their disastrous performance over the following years. Eventually, six of the cats were found and exhumed, but the seventh could not be located. In 1999, in the midst of bankruptcy, 100,000 Racing fans marched to the stadium, where a priest carried out an exorcism and predicted that the cause of the curse would soon come to light.

League:
Expectation (media): 15th -> Finished 5th
Expectation (board): Respectable mid-table ->Finished with continental qualification
Final League Tablee
Comments: We had a very solid start, and leaded the tournament for most of the part. We also had a very "old" squad and by the end of the season they could not perform as they were performing before. We got into a 4 games losing streak but even tho managed to achieve a much higher place then expected. I evaluate our position as a really good position and I am proud about being qualified for the Libertadores.
Cup
Expectation (media): Reach the second round (round of 64) -> Reached Quarter Finals after losing to Boca.
Comments: Again we reached beyond anyone could expect. And its not like we had a easy path, we faced some big teams like San Lorenzo (round of 64) and Velez (round of 16). The game against Boca was a close one (2-1) and we dominated the second half deserving to at least go to penalties.
Team
Top scorer: Patricio Toranzo (7)
Top assists: Patricio Toranzo (12)
Top average rating: Lucas Villarruel (7.38)
Best player (my opinion): Cristian Espinoza
Worse player {my opinion}: Agustín Torrasa

Great run you got going there! Mind asking you: who took over Bayern for Guardiola?

Thank you mate! Actually no, they did really poor this season finishing at 15th. What motivated me to go to Racing is exactly how big they are. Later on tonight I will post their history and it is fascinating. Also is a big challenge, the team has good finances but a squad that I pretend to completly reformulate on the next 3 seasons. Its definitely gonna be a long-term job.

They are a huge team in Argentina, probably the third biggest after River and Boca. And it was part of my objective to go from a small team (Huracán) to one of the big five (Racing).

Very tough. I think it has to do with fitness, but you know when you get in a bad run like this is hard to get out of it.

Primera Division
League Table - At least even tho with all the defeats we secured the 5th place. This should be enough to guarantee us a place on the Libertadores pre group stage. But this Argentinian League is crazy so lets wait.

The master himself facing many problems at Real
Jorge Sampoli had poor results with Chile
Pochetino being very under pressure at Spurts
And me, 5 losses in a row

We did some friendlies so the team wouldn't lose much playing time. Overall really good job by the guys, specially against Arsenal. Against PSG we played so much better (see the stats here) and did not deserved to lose at all.

Maybe the forward we were looking for? Chevantón isn't playing well anymore I Maxi had expired his contract.
Another one for the back, will start as well.
What a signing! Great player, young and the best part: for free. He will probably not start this season, but next season he will most likely.

Came for free, he is gonna be a back up for our current right back Pillud
Also for free, very good player. Don't know yet where im gonna play him, but he is probably gonna start for us. And by the way he is Leo Messi's cousin. Haha
One more for free, good player. Looking forward to his development, for now he is a backup.
Paid 525k for him, is gonna be our main center-back. Edu Dominguez, current captain, might lose his spot.

Penalized in the last minutes! We didn't play so well, but Indepiendente away is a game that its "ok" to lose.
Great way to bounce back the loss against Indepiendente! Brilliant victory.
CAN'T BELIVE WE LET THIS OPPORTUNITY SCAPE! Velez is the best team of the league, by far. They had a sent off with two minutes into the game, it was our chance of winning but still we couldn't capitalize.

And we go to penalties once again in the cup! And once again we make it trough! We deserved the win since the beginning anyways!
