i can give you the inside line! I plan to start in Scandinavia and potentially finish it in Portugal not decided from there on though lol
 
I'll only say don't go for Brazil, you play roughly 60-70 games a season

You could get through two seasons anywhere else.
 
Go for the Netherlands after Scandinavia. I think you'd be able to win champions league there and it'd be more difficult than portugal. I've also had a lot of games with talent in Belgium, that'd be interesting.

Belgium will probably get some attention maybe even Holland aswell, But portugal is still ear marked as the finisher.

We are going to Brazil

S%C3%A3o_Caetano2.png


So who are São Caetano?

from wikiepedia
Associação Desportiva São Caetano, commonly known as São Caetano, is a Brazilian football team based in the city of São Caetano, Brazil, part of the São Paulo greater metropolitan area. The club finished as runner-up in the Série A twice and once in the Copa Libertadores.

Founded in 1989, the club found success early, winning the Third and Second Divisions of São Paulo regional tournaments. São Caetano rose to national prominence in 2000.
In 2000, the Brazilian national championship was contested in a rather unusual way. According to previous credentials, teams would play in the First (best teams), Second or Third Division; São Caetano played in the Second. The difference was that, after all Divisions were finished, a mini tournament would gather representatives from all of them (one team from Third Division, three from Second and twelve from First), and the winner would be the Brazilian Champion of 2000.
São Caetano was runner-up of the Second Division and qualified to the finals. Beating Fluminense, Palmeiras and Grêmio, they entered the final against Vasco da Gama. The first match ended as a draw. During the second, fans invaded the pitch and the match was suspended. Despite several claims that São Caetano should be declared champion, Vasco petitioned the league for a third match, which Vasco went on to win.
Unlike many teams that rise prominently then quickly fall back to obscurity, São Caetano had another strong campaign in 2001. Playing a full season in the top division, they reached the final against Atlético Paranaense. Once again they finished as the runner-up, but consecutive seasons placing well secured their reputation on a national level.
In 2002, São Caetano was finalist of Copa Libertadores, the most important tournament in South America. Again, they were runner-up, losing the final to Olimpia of Paraguay on penalties.
São Caetano had earned respect, but no titles. In 2004, São Caetano won the São Paulo State Championship, beating the upstate squad Paulista, from Jundiaí.
On October 27, 2004, while playing in a match against São Paulo, São Caetano defender Serginho suffered a fatal heart attack.[1]​ As São Caetano's staff let Serginho play even knowing that he had heart problems, the club was penalized heavily by the CBF,[2]​[3]​ which has since marked a decline in their performance.[4]​
At the end of the 2006, they finished within the zone of relegation, and played in the 2007 in the Série B.

A genuine fallen giant of Brazillian football. Recently relegated from Campeonato Brasileiro Série B to Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. Here is how there last season went.
View attachment 343323View attachment 343324

The club is in pretty poor shape when I arrive, but relegation will do that!
View attachment 343325View attachment 343326View attachment 343327View attachment 343328

Some money in from club membership, and what is a very uninspiring budget for the season!
View attachment 343329View attachment 343331View attachment 343330

More famous as the club Rivaldo finished his career at than any recent footballing prowess, I aim to change all that and bring back some glory to São Caetano. With fans like this what's not to love?

Hey, if you stay until February send some pics of Carnival, ok?

Good luck, btw
 
ALOT of players left before I even arrived, relegation release clauses etc. I decided not to go overboard on new players, Just 5 arriving with the rest of the squad bbolstered by youth and reserve team players. The players highlighted in red were signed by me, the one in green was the previous manager however I feel he is wort pin pointing.

José Sáenz
I highlighted him even though I didn't sign him, We have an international keeper! Maybe a tad short, but I checked and he is every bit as good as any of the Serie A clubs GK.
View attachment 343895

John Okoro
Nigerian Okoro will take up one of my valuable foreign spots. His work rate and team work are astounding aswell as him bbeing a tank at this level!
View attachment 343896

Antônio Francisco
I'm in Brazil I have to play with wing backs! This kid is a good one with room to grow.
View attachment 343897

José Elias
Very proud of this one, i'm surprised he would even concider us! The rock of my defence and IMO good enough all the way to Serie A now, nevermind once he matures!
View attachment 343898

Moreira
The focal point of our attack, Unlike some of the others I have signed, I only see one maybe 2 seasons out of him, Unless he develops amazingly. For now he is plenty good enough.
View attachment 343899

Jajá
Cover nothing more, nothing less. Should do a job when i need him to.
View attachment 343900

This is how I intend us to line up pending everyone being fit. We are in Brazil so it's all out attack, The central midfield pair providing cover while the Inside forwards and wing back bomb forward. This is a veriation on what I played with FC Andorra just more attacking!
View attachment 343901

Some money news, better than I expected if i'm honest.
View attachment 343902View attachment 343903View attachment 343904

We have been given odds of 150-1 for the state championship! I've included a screenshot of the table so yo can see the teams we are up against, Some we all know.
View attachment 343905View attachment 343906

We are however favourites for our league, Rightly so I feel.
View attachment 343907View attachment 343908

I'd love a playoff spot in the state championships, but it may be to big an ask right now. I expect to win our league quite easily.​

We weren't expected to make any waves in the state championships, But make waves we did! We were on the wrond end a few shoeings, but we can certainly be proud of our showing here.

A quite incredible 5th in the state championship. I knew this team had potential but I wasn't expecting this! We are safely qualified for the play offs where we have drawn Santos in the quarter final.
View attachment 343923

Santos unsurprisingly heavy favourites again the serie c minnows, but we already managed a draw with them this season.
View attachment 343926

2-0! Quite amazing given the statures of the clubs, semi final beckons.

Sao Paulo in the semi final, they are also heavy favourites against us.

Amazingly we won this one aaswell....Don't ask me how but we are in the final.

We also got a cash injection for what it's worth.

Here is how our play offs went, it gives me great expectations for the league.

I did get spanked 4-0 and 6-0 by two of them earlier in the season
 

Bit of a mixed bag, we dominated the league all season. Finishing top by 12 points, we then lost the playoff semi final! Luckily we still got promoted somehow...

Regardless of losing in the cup will still compete in in Serie B again next season.

The team is actually better than I thought, A few improvemets for next season and we may even have a state championship challenge on our hands.

On aanother note concider this.

Jose Elias is a centre back! Beyond lethal from corners.
