July 2048 Before officially stepping down as manager of both Liverpool and England, I had planned to begin the process of winding down my career as I approach retirement, in my mind, that meant maybe spending a year or two in lesser ranked league/nat...
June/July 2048 Having recently seen out the 2047/2048 season with Liverpool, I move onto the 2048 European Championship as manager of England, my first time in this competition, though my second tournament in charge of England, having lead the countr...
June 2048 And that is another year done, three titles in a row now for Liverpool in the Premier League. If this had been my first year here I would be saying it's a job well done, but it is in fact my third and this was a slight downgrade on the prev...
When I made the move to Turkey, joining Ankara Keçiörengücü mid-season, in their first season up in the Süper Lig after finishing as runners-up in the 1. Lig, the team were just about managing to keep their heads above the water as they fought for surviva...
May 2048 A couple of months away from twenty six years in management and I have finally been confirmed as the greatest English manager of all time, that said, I have yet to break into the top ten as a manager in England and I only sit in 17th place i...
May 2048 What a win!!
February 2048 At the start of the season, we managed to come away with our second Community Shield in a row, but at the same we would end up finishing as runner-up once again in the UEFA Super Cup, that kind of mixed fortune has followed us to...
Hearing rumours that several clubs from South Africa were interested in my services got me excited, the realisation struck that my achievements in Mozambique had not gone unnoticed to the outside world, it made me wonder, had I done enough to manage in on...
The start of the season was a bit of a mixed bag, we felt the disappointment of getting knocked out of the CAF Champions League after finishing last in our group, but then we tasted success by winning the Supertaça Mário Esteves Coluna. As we moved o...
August 2047 The moment the previous season finished, I began working towards improving the side, as always, I like to bring in some players for the senior side and some to bolster our youth teams, giving us a small boost right away, but also ensuring...
Success at home but disappointment away; as the new season kicks off with my Ferroviário da Beira side lifting the Supertaça Mário Esteves Coluna, we exit from the CAF Champions League at the group stage, having reached it in the latter part of last seaso...
June 2047 The 2046/2047 season ends with my Liverpool side securing the quadruple and now winning back to back Premier League and Champions League titles. Another fantastic season in the Premier League, we managed to secure the title...
January-February 2047 We're half way through the 2046/2047 season now, what will be my second full season at Liverpool having joined half way through the 44/45 season. We're currently top of the Premier League with Man City and several others not too...
What a season, we actually managed to win the league on the final day.We kicked off the league in style and lead for some time, a minor hiccup saw Black Bulls take the top spot for a while, and it did look like they might go on to win the league, but late...
August 2046 Winning the Premier League last season along with the FA Cup, we faced Newcastle in the Community Shield, last season's runners up in both competitions. We managed to beat Newcastle fairly comfortably, 3-0 in the end, a pleasing result, e...
After being confirmed as the new manager of Ferroviário da Beira, I wanted to make my mark on the team immediately, to bring in some new players to strengthen the side and hopefully, move us closer to the level of the top teams in the division. Last seaso...
August 2046 Having been appointed England manager, the question begs to be answered, do I stay at Liverpool as well, or stand down and focus solely on my latest international adventure? The sensible option might be to focus on only one job, but I bel...
July 2046 I've been thinking recently about what the final chapters of my career would look like, perhaps winding down a little, taking on jobs at smaller teams, where the pressure to succeed is far less than in the Premier League with a team like Li...
May 2046 Normally my posts are long winded and I mostly just waffle on about stuff nobody really cares about but me, but this time I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking as I sit back and relax now that the season is over and I have fin...
March 2046 Disappointment in the Carabao Cup as my Liverpool side fall at the final hurdle, losing 3-0 to Man City. Last season we managed to win the trophy but went on to lose in the final of the FA Cup, hopefully this time, seeing as we've lost in...
January 2045 In my career, I've had many successes at the domestic level, winning leagues and cups alike across a number of nations, and while I did taste success at international level with the Cape Verde Islands, I've never managed to win a contine...
In light of the financial troubles at Desportivo de Maputo and following a successful interview, I decided today to make the switch to become manager of Ferroviário da Beira.My new team plays in the same division as my former employer, and while they did...
December 2045 I joined Liverpool half way through last season after departing Benfica after a highly successful spell there. In six months at Liverpool we rose from seventh place to finishing runner up in both the Premier League and the FA Cup, thoug...
There we have it, our season is complete and we managed to survive, finishing in 5th place in the Moçambola in our first season in the division for quite some time. While I should be delighted by the result, we actually dropped a place on the final day of...
May 2045 The 2044/2045 season came down to the final day, we had the scenario were we essentially had to get a better result than Man City, if they drew, we would need a win, if they lost, we could scrape a draw and win the league by goal difference...
After a long pre-season, I'm starting to feel like our squad is coming together nicely, out of eleven friendly matches played, we won eight of them, drawing two and losing one. Right now, we are only a few days away from the start of the season and once t...
April 2045 Just four games left to play and it's very close at the top of the Premier League. Despite me joining Liverpool fourteen games into the season when the team was down in seventh, we've had more than enough time to overtake five of the teams...
February 2045Since joining Liverpool at the beginning of December, I've been fairly busy attempting to give this team the push it needs to realise it's ambitions. We were seventh when I came in and now we are second, a big improvement. My first game was a...
After a successful half season at Desportivo de Maputo last year, we had a nice long break and plenty of time to think about our plans for the forthcoming season. Having gained promotion to the Moçambola, I knew we needed to improve the side somewhat, in...
As this was my first time playing our opponents, I didn't really know what to expect here, I suspected a tough match against a similar level team, but as it turned out, we were the team to really show up and give it our all. We took the match to our oppon...
Now look at that, what an ending to the season, we managed to keep winning up until the second to last game, which we drew with GD Incomáti, leaving us with a must win final game, which, GD Incomáti also had to lose. A great man once said, ‘I love i...
A great start to my tenure at Desportivo de Maputo, quickly rising out of the relegation zone and up to fourth place. With the transfer window already closed, we couldn't sign any players, at least none that could be registered for the league, we did...
As a native of Pemba and a former member of the Baía de Pemba women's team, when I suffered the injury that ended my playing career, it had been my goal to move into coaching with the short to medium term aim of becoming the manager of my home-town...
December 2044 My third season at Benfica is progressing nicely on all fronts, top of the Liga Portugal Betclic after twelve games, having won all our games except one, top of the league in the UEFA Champions League (league phase) and still in both th...

August 2044 On the fifteenth of August, my Benfica side along with two hundred and twenty nine fans, made the journey down to Mozambique, as far as the board was concerned, it was for promotional purposes, helping to maintain the teams presence in th...
August 2044 It's time for the new season in Portugal and work is already underway on strengthening the side. We have sold three of our senior players who failed to really solidify a place for themselves in the starting XI last season and in their pla...
July 2044At the start of last season, on an otherwise forgettable day, I had been sat pondering my future in the game, thinking about how long I would remain in management and whether I would try to go out on a high, at the top of the game, or gradually w...
May 2044 At the end of my second season at Benfica, we see out the 2043/2044 season as champions of Portugal and bring home a domestic triple after what I thought was probably going to be a disappointing season, luckily we managed to move on fr...
February 2044 The mid-season transfer window is often a hectic time for any team but we tried to play it cool, focussing on identifying young talent for the future rather than making drastic changes to the senior team. We did manage to confirm three...
December 2043 With Christmas fast approaching, it would have been a nice present to see us sitting top of the league, but despite a reasonable start to the season, we are currently only in third place after losing to both Porto and Boavista. Beyond t...
September 2043 After a highly successful first season at Benfica, we move onto the next. The goal is much the same as last year, to try and win everything domestically and then perform as well as we can in Europe. A big blow to the side saw our...

December 2042What a win, very satisfying to see that scoreline.
After securing promotion for Wild Bill's II, I decided to move on, spotting a now vacant position at the University of Guam. The Tritons were relegated and head down to the league I just escaped from, now you could say I've taken a step backwards bu...
My first season in Guam has come to an end and we absolutely dominated in Guam's second tier, leading our closest competitor in Group A by twenty points. In winning our division, we headed through to the three team playoff where we also managed to beat Di...
August 2042Despite only having enough time to play one friendly before we had to face Braga in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira Vodafone, we come away victorious after winning the game 3-1. Just prior to the game we were able to confirm the signing...
