LIFE AFTER KLOPP?

A month In a shock announcement, Bourissa Dortmund announced that the legendary manager that is Jurgen Klopp was to leave the club at the end of the season for reasons unknown. Klopp took Dortmund back into the limelight of European football and was largely remembered for his passion, committment, and attacking football that lead to Dortmund becoming one of the power houses in Europe.

Today, The German club have shocked the world by announcing that new to the managerial scene Lee Sweetman will take over the club. Sweetman is only 24, and by far one of the youngest managers ever to take up a position, not only in football, but at one of the biggest teams in Europe. Will Sweetman be able to live up to the massive expectations of the club?

Sweetman had this to say today: "I am honoured to be given the oppertunity to show myself in the world of football, not only in total, but at one of the biggest and most loved clubs in Europe!"

Can Sweetman live up to the pressure? Or will he flop? Stay with us to find out!

Pre Season Review:

In the first 2 games I decided to give fringe players a chance, and it failed. There were some positive performances though which caught my eye. My final 3 games I decided to give my first team players a run out, and it played out well. Soriano came in and scored 3 goals in 2 games. Sisto also scored 2 in his first 2 games. Kagawa & Reus also played well. It's now interesting to choose my team for the Super cup game against FC Bayern. I also managed to get through pre season with No Injuries what so ever! Happy Days.
