Update #2 Season Prep Going into preseason, I knew that my squad would be slightly depleted from the usual Bilbao standard. Inaki Williams and Iker Muniain will provide creativity and goals out wide, but stars Kepa Arrizabalaga and Aymeric Laporte have moved on to Premier League clubs. Aritz...

The football world is always embroiled in debates. While not overtly so, these discussions (which often turn into heated arguments) are usually political in some way. The idea of boycotting the 2022 World Cup due to slave labor is a huge topic, while the validity of Manchester City’s UAE-backed...

You've heard it before. You know Ajax produces young talent. You know they have some of the best training facilities in the world. You know they have an amazing team of scouts that regularly uncover young gems across Europe. The question is: How will I use these assets? Well, first off, I need...

Former Ajax youth product-turned-club legend Ronald Melchiot has joined Ajax as manager! The attacking midfielder amassed 50 caps and 16 goals for the Dutch National Team and spent his whole career at the Amsterdam ArenA (disregarding two loan spells at Twente and Den Haag). He led Ajax to a...

Thank you! Definitely a difficult challenge, hope there will be good news when you check back. :)

The Swiss Youth Challenge I have moved on to job number 2! Chiasso is a club that overachieved last season, finishing 2nd and narrowly missing out on promotion. We are predicted to finish 6th this season. Our facilities aren't good, but not horrible either. The junior coaching and youth...

Definitely, thanks for the support Pat!

Thanks! Tough season but will hopefully turn out better with my next club.

The Swiss Youth Challenge Last we left off, Le Mont hadn't won a match in 9 tries. The board set me with a goal of improving the club's confidence. How did I do? Loss. Win. Win. Loss. A very good month considering the club's previous run of results, right? Right? SACKED ****. That's...
