Nicholas Laurent - Humble Beginnings.
After reading all the wonderful stories people have posted on this forum, I finally decided to start my own. I hope you guys enjoy it and enjoy the story of Nicholas Laurent as we embark on his journey to become a world-class manager.
Who the ****** **** is Nicholas Laurent?
Good question - too often we are caught up with the antics of Jose Mourinho or too busy trying to count how many managers Tottenham and Manchester City have recycled in the last few years.
Nicholas Laurent is a former semi-professional footballer who played in the state leagues in Sydney,
Australia.
A two-footed player that spent most of his career playing at center-back, Nicholas had to cut his career short at 24 due to persistent ankle problems that would require him to have his ankle fused if he persisted playing. Let’s face it, it wasn't like Arsene Wenger was going to pick the phone up and call Nicholas up to the Arsenal first team, he knew that he could still actively participate in football in other forms of the game.
Nicholas decided after completing his Bachelor degree in IT that he would obtain his AFC/FFA National C license in order to pursue a life-long dream of being a football manager. Nicholas has just finished completing his National C license and at 25, he is young, passionate, and ready to go.
Nicholas has recently applied to nearly every position on the block, and this story will follow what it is exactly like to be a new-comer to the block.
Goals
At 25, Nicholas has a few goals that he wants to achieve throughout his managerial career.
