Jose Antonio Camacho
2002-04 & 2007-08
P109 W65 D27 L17 F190 A89 W%59.63
Camacho had 2 spells at the club but only managed to win 1 Portuguese cup in his spell although that did come up against Jose Mourinho's FC Porto. His 2nd spell was quite unsuccessful tbh.

DECEMBER
Lineup - Livakovic, Semedo (T.Tavares), Dias (Sarr), Ferro, Grimaldo, Luis, Sanches (Dantas), Rafa, Felix, Everton*, Dembele
Obviously I am delighted to have scored 6 goals which means we have scored 4, 5 and 6 in our last 3 games but I am ****** off that we conceded twice. The first goal especially was a defensive nightmare.

UEFA Champions League Group D
Lineup - Livakovic, Semedo, Dias (Sarr), Ferro, Grimaldo, Luis, Sanches (Dantas), Rafa, Felix, Everton, Dembele*
Moussa Dembele loves playing against PSV as he got 4 goals in our first meeting and another hat-trick here and he also got the assist for Rafa's goal! To make things even better, Bayern Munich drew with Salzburg so we actually finish as group winners.

Lineup - Livakovic, Semedo, Dias, Ferro, Grimaldo, Luis (Camara), Sanches, Rafa, Almada, Everton*, Dembele (Ramos)
Never mind the 4 goal win or the fact that it is 19 goals in our last 4 league games - Renato Sanches finally got off the mark for the season!!! Considering he scored 14 goals last season it is long overdue.

Taca de Portugal 5th Round
Lineup - Livakovic, T.Tavares, Dias, Ferro, N.Tavares, Luis (Dantas), Sanches (Camara), Tsygankov, Almada, Everton (Embalo), Dembele*
I decided to rest a few players here and it paid off as we won through to the quarter-finals. Dembele had an off day last time out but was back amongst the goals here with yet another hat-trick.

Allianz Cup 3rd Phase Group C
Lineup - Livakovic, T.Tavares, Dias, Ferro, Grimaldo, Luis (Dantas), Sanches, Tsygankov, Almada*, Everton (Embalo), Dembele (Carlos Vinicius)
Amazingly we are out of the Allianz Cup despite having 7pts from all 3 matches - the same as Sporting Lisbon. We have scored the same amount of goals and conceded the same amount so I dont know why we are runners-up?
**** the Guttmann curse in Europe - who has the curse over the Allianz Cup - I have still yet to win it!

Another big win in the league. Grimaldo has now scored in his last 3 league games while Felix missed a penalty so it could have been six.

SUMMARY
Largely this month was a great success and we head into 2022 in high spirits. In the league we are back destroying teams and in our last 5 fixtures we have scored 4, 5, 6, 4 and 5 goals respectively. We are 3pts clear with a game in hand so all is good.
We progressed in the Taca de Portugal and finished up as group winners in the Champions League but alas the draw has not been kind as Juventus lie in wait.
Unfortunately the **** up of the month was our elimination from the Allianz Cup. I still dont know why we were eliminated and probably need to check the rules of the competition as both ourselves and Sporting Lisbon were identically matched!!!!
January will probably see a glut of transfer bids for my players as currently the following players are wanted - Dias, Ferro, T.Tavares, Morato, N.Tavares, Grimaldo, Luis, Sanches, Rafa, Embalo, Everton and finally Dembele!!!!!!
Thats not to mention the players in my minor squads.
