Onto the semis!
After winning 2-1 at home (countless missed chances, could have easily been 4 goals), I was confident going into Manchester... only to get dismantled.
Choked a bit near the end. At one point I was as high as 2nd and one point off from eventual champions, Stuttgart. Arg.
There's the DFB Pokal final against Bayern, and then decision time...

Joined City in 2016 for 73 million and retired from international football after the 2014 World Cup.
So I started a new year with Schalke, but I pretty much half-assed the preparation. I didn't sign a replacement keeper nor filled the void Khedira left. Also Uchida is aging and his replacement can't cross as well as him, so I was in a bit of a mess. Since I'm fickle, I lasted about 8 games before I saw several teams show interest in me.
First Espanyol approached me, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take on that job. They had apparently been near relegation zone and won Liga Adelante a few years back, so I didn't think it was a good idea to take over them.
Then Sevilla came along. Better situation, but looked like they had aging players. I actually thought of just going there, but I pressed delay and they never contacted me again. I guess they hired someone else. Oh well.
After that, Lazio did but didn't accept. Luckily not long after Roma did, I showed interest, they offered me a job, and now I'm managing AS Roma. Not bad!

Mostly has been an uneventful year with Roma... We're 6th and climbing, but I took over the team when they were in a pretty big hole, so despite the improvement the goal to qualify for the CL seems far-fetched.
That said, this is so far the best result I've accomplished in the season.
Juve is running away with the title; I think they have something like 58 points through 24 games and about 10 points clear from second place. I utterly dominated them in their arena.
Maybe a sign that things are taking a turn for the better? I can only hope.
I'm also in the final of Coppa Italia. I have no ******* idea why I'm only good at getting results in cup games. It's baffling.

So yesterday I finally get to the final of the Coppa Italia. I pull off one of the greatest escapes of domination with a narrow win...
I was happy because it has otherwise been a terrible season... I had to leave the house, and I left the game on. I came back and the computer crashed without me saving.
Of course, when I replay it I got dominated again...
Pretty sure this season can't possibly get any worse.

Pretty much. Aside from the two Ukrainian PL titles all I've won have been ******* domestic cups.
So last season was so bad I decided to not even show the table. I didn't get sacked, though. Instead I was rewarded with a large sum of money to use to scrap this ****ty team and buy a new one.
First signing was this guy I had my eye on since last season, but due to the stupid limit on non EU players, it was blocked. Stupid ******* rule.
Danielle De Rossi finally retired, so to fill in his void, I signed this guy:
I needed fullbacks badly, so I got these two:
This guy is older, but of all the players I scouted, this was the only decent left back willing to join that wasn't out of my reach.
Another midfielder because I got rid of almost all of them:
This guy reminds me of the striker I had at Schalke, which happens to have his same last name...
And then this guy on a free:
In hindsight it was a bad signing because it blocked me from this stud Brazilian from Bremen but he's useful enough.
For the future:
I need a left winger since Mata is leaving on a free, so I'd like to have one waiting in the wings... and I could use a right winger because my dickhead starting winger decided to keep bitching and I granted his transfer request.

Except no Europe glory.

You're not in any job long enough to taste European glory. You need to build a squad and have them grow as a team. That said, I ******* love reading about this journeyman game and hope you eventually make the jump to Barcelona or Man U.
In the quarters of the Europa League, I happen to draw the team that brought me my first trophy and the team's first trophy...
When I arrived there I was received with a warm welcome.
Unfortunately for the Dnipro faithful, that was all there was to cheer about.
I had seen that AC Milan beat Fenerbache 2-0 meaning it was more than likely to be paired up against them in the semis, which I wasn't looking forward to. They've been a major pain in the ass and I haven't yet beat them (except that time I beat them but didn't save...)
Then I see this:
Onto the semis!

Finals!
And of course, in the league I'm in a huge slump and what looked like title contention the whole way now looks like I'll have to battle for the last CL spot...

How many CL Spots in Italy? Good cup run though, Avramo.
