March 2023 Since becoming the manager of Yokohama Fifty Club, a team that only had two players on the books when I joined, I've been very busy in the transfer market, building up a squad that I think will be capable of meeting or exceeding the board'...
January 2023 It took a while to look through the massive list of teams searching for managers, teams from all different levels of the pyramid, but several teams caught my attention, all of which situated down in the lowly prefecture-level divisions....
Reserved for first post - details coming soon
My side save while taking a break from managing in Africa.
June 2034 - Cabo Verde After a successful campaign in the Liga São Vicente, we booked our place in the national championship, I didn't know a great deal about two of the teams in our group but the third was my former club, Botafogo, I was reall...
March 2034 - Cabo Verde That's it, the island league phase is over, we are champions of São Vicente and we now head onto the national championship, where we face a group consisting of last year's champions and my former team Botafogo, Fiorentin...
November 2033 - Cabo VerdeA couple of posts ago, I announced that I had recently taken over as manager of Académica do Mindelo from the Liga São Vicente in Cabo Verde for what would be my third season in the country having previously managed at Botafogo f...
Thanks for continuing to follow my save, it's been fun managing in Africa so far and I'm especially enjoying Cape Verde right now due to the different league structure they have with each island having its own league and the winners of each playing each o...
July 2033 - Cabo VerdeThis update is a little earlier than planned as we've not played a single friendly yet but I though I would give a sneak peak at my first signings since hopping over to the island of São Vicente and joining Académica do Mindelo. ...
The 2033 season has now ended and I don't think it could have gone much better, we not only finished top of our group in the Cape Verde national championship, but we reached the final and lifted the trophy, if that was not enough, we also brought home the...
I'm having the same issue as this, tried using chrome (pc and android phone versions), edge and the steam browser and the issue is the same across each.
March 2032 - Cabo Verde After narrowly snatching the Liga Fogo title on the final day of last season, we were able to claim it this time just before kick off on the last day. It's interesting to note that our points total last time around, which was...
November 2032 - Cabo Verde The 2033 season is about to kick off and our preparations are complete, we've had both our captain and vice-captain poached by other teams, but other players have stepped up into those positions, and I have brought in three...
March 2032 - Cabo Verde When I first arrived in Cabo Verde and took the Botafogo job, I can't say I had done much research, in fact, I hadn't done any to be honest, I didn't know anything about the team and as such, I didn't realise that they were on...
March 2032 - Cabo Verde With the team lying in seventh place and with only four games to turn things around, I wasn't expecting too much from the remainder of 2032, but perhaps if I had looked a little closer at the table and the amount of points nee...
Early 2032 Despite having only just secured the domestic double in São Tomé & Príncipe, it was never my intention to remain here for long, in fact, given that I am trying to make my way back to the UK, I'm not planning to stick around in any coun...
Late 2031 - São Tomé e Príncipe If I said 2031 was a good year, it would be somewhat of an understatement, my Sporting Clube de São Tomé side dominated the league this season, finishing seventeen points clear at the top of the table and going the ent...
Mid 2031 - São Tomé e Príncipe Last season, I joined Sporting Clube de São Tomé thirteen games into the 2030 season, the team was in ninth place out of twelve teams and by the end of the season we managed to secure a respectable fourth place. As...
Late 2030 - São Tomé e Príncipe Having joined Sporting Clube de São Tomé thirteen games into the season, there wasn't a great deal of time until the curtain came down on 2030 and when I joined the club, we were lying in ninth place, it was my goal to...
When I started my save and I've mentioned it in many of my posts, my plan is to return home to the UK having started out in Eswatini. Under normal circumstances, this involves moving one country at a time up the continent and so far, I have done so, albei...
July 2030 - The Celebration Winning Angolan Second Division is probably not going to be the standout moment of my career but it certainly felt good, fixing the mistakes of a previous manager and taking a relegated team back up to the top division is...
Late 29/30 - Angola My first season in Angola has now come to an end and it's been another good year, we lifted the Second Division title with seven games to spare, leading the pack by a twenty four points and only losing one game all season, which,...
⅔ Distance 29/30 - Angola We are now entering the final third of the 2028/2029 season in Angola and my Guelson FC are still unbeaten after twenty games, with eighteen wins and two draws, we show little signs of slowing down as we look to secure an im...
⅓ Distance 29/30 - Angola Having joined the recently relegated Guelson FC in Angola, I faced the prospect of attempting to take, what was on paper, probably the second best team in the Second Division, back up to the Girabola ZAP, the top level of fo...
Late 28/29 - Namibia At the end of last season, once my contract at Township Rollers in Botswana had run its course, I took up the new challenge of turning around the fortunes of Orlando Pirates in Namibia. The team had been expected to be among thos...
Mid 28/29 - Namibia We've reached mid-season in the 2028/2029 season in Namibia and we're doing fairly well so far, currently sitting second in the league albeit with the teams immediately below us having games in hand. Despite our high position in t...
Hi, so most of the backgrounds you see in my screenshots are just photos that I've found using google, sometimes I make the images in photoshop and on occasion I've also used my own holiday photos, wherever the images come from, I typically just add them...
Early 28/29 - NamibiaThe pre-season period here in Namibia seems to have come and gone in the blink of an eye compared to last season when I was still in Botswana, we've squeezed in five friendlies and already we are onto the regular season now. &nbs...
It should be a fun challenge, there is a lot of work needed to turn this team around but hopefully by the end of pre-season, I will have cut away all the deadwood, brought in some new talent and moulded the team into a competitive outfit that can push for...
Early 28/29 - NamibiaA new day dawns in Africa as I trade the potential for continued success with Botswana's Township Rollers, for the uncertainty of joining Namibia's Orlando Pirates, a team that narrowly survived relegation at the end of last season.Mo...
Late 27/28 - Botswana Another season has come and gone and if you read my previous post, you won't be too surprised to learn that we not only won the Botswana Premier League, but absolutely destroyed it, finishing top and twenty points clear, l...
Mid 27/28 - BotswanaThe 2027/2028 season is now at the half way point, things have gone better than I had initially anticipated and we are top of the league with a seven point gap over second place Gaborone Utd. At the start of the...
Early 27/28 - Botswana I made the move to Township Rollers in Botswana back in July, it's November now and the pre-season period has come and gone, we've played our friendly matches and we've made a number of moves in the transfer market in ord...
Hi there, thanks a lot buddy, I hope you have every success with your team as well.
Hopefully it does, certainly I'm going to do everything I can to try and ensure we do well from the get-go, I've already started rebuilding the side and I'm barely a week into my job, with a long pre-season due to us not playing in the Top 8 Cup, I have a...
I'll be interested to see how this turns out, I like the idea of picking a club based not on money or how good the team is, but on such a meaningless thing like having an animal in the logo, reminds me a little of the time many years ago where I had a sav...
Mid 2027 - Zimbabwe to Botswana Sixteen games into the season, one short of the halfway point, my FC Platinum side sit at the top of the table, we briefly lost first place to Chicken Inn a few weeks back, but we've managed to reclaim our spot now. In...
Excellent start so far, looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Do you have the Argentinian league loaded as well? Would be cool if you managed the real Boca team in the future after starting out at Gibraltarian version.
Early 2027 - Zimbabwe Having reached the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup at the end of last season, we saw out the competition to its conclusion at the start of 2027, unfortunately for us, the conclusion was just the end of the group stage a...
Late 2026 - Zimbabwe 2026 has finally come to an end and I am pleased to announce that FC Platinum have brought home the Castle Larger Premier Soccer League in Zimbabwe, on top of that we also managed to win the CBZ FA Cup and played in both the CAF...
¾ Distance 2026 - Zimbabwe We are now three quarters of the way through the 2026 season, we are still top of the table and six points clear, things are going pretty well at the moment but our lead could easily evaporate within just two games if we're...
½ Distance 2026 - Zimbabwe We've reached he halfway point now in the Zimbabwean Premier League and we're still going strong, fifteen wins in seventeen games sees us four point clear at the top of the table.In the CBZ FA Cup, we are through to the qua...
Just over a quarter of the way into the 2026 season and my FC Platinum side have a 100% record in the Zimbabwean Castle Lager Premier Soccer League. I inherited a fairly strong side when I joined as manager but I've managed to strengthen the defence...
Early 2026 - Zimbabwe The next step of my journey has begun, I have arrived in the town of Zvishavane in Zimbabwe, I might not be taking the most direct route home, but I do feel I have made a positive step, despite the Zimbabwean league and my new c...
Late 2025 - Mozambique The 2025 season has ended and I am delighted to announce that it could hardly have gone any better, we won both the Moçambola and the Taça Moçambique, we didn't embarrasses ourselves in the CAF Champions League and when knocked...
Early 2025 - Still Mozambique 2024 ended with my Baía de Pemba side gaining promotion to the Moçambola, the top level of football in Mozambique, it was a great moment but looking ahead at the challenge awaiting the team at the higher level, I was not...
Late 2024 - Mozambique So the 2024 season has ended and while we won't be adding the Divisão de Honra – Sul title to our trophy cabinet with Ferroviário de Quelimane being far too strong for us this season and managing to go undefeated, we did end up...
Mid 2024 - MozambiqueHalf time in Mozambique for the 2024 season and we're second in the league at the moment, we started off strongly winning seven our nine games, our only loss so far in the league has been to recently relegated Ferroviário de Quelimane...
