The Mercenary Challenge: Becoming the richest manager in world football. A re-do.

[sahajpal97]

There are some changes in the managerial rich list. Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Tottenham in the year 2026. He has been at the club for nearly 7 years. He did a decent enough job at Tottenham. So the top three in the rich list are Antonio Conte at Inter who is earning 350k pounds per week, Diego Simeone at Manchester City who is earning 185k pounds per week and Jurgen Klopp at Real Madrid who is earning 175k pounds per week. Jurgen Klopp just joined Real Madrid from Liverpool. Under Conte, Inter finished 2nd in Serie A, got knocked out by Juventus in the Italian Cup semi final, and got knocked out in the Champions League semi final. Manchester City under Simeone did the quadruple. They won everything. The Premier League, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. I will talk about Klopp's Liverpool since he only joined Real Madrid now. Liverpool finished 2nd in the Premier League, got knocked out in the Carabao Cup fourth round by Southampton, got knocked out in the FA Cup fifth round by Chelsea and got knocked out by Real Madrid in the Champions League semi final.

To all my Swedish readers if there are any, on my save Sweden have won the 2026 World Cup. They won the final 3-0 against Spain. INSANE. Shock win. If Greece winning the Euros in 2004 was considered a shock, this is an even bigger one. Janne Andersson should be knighted.

So I have a new job, I have resigned as El Salvador national team manager and I am now the manager of the Morocco national team. This is my highest profile job so far in this save. And I also have a wage rise from 3k pounds per week to 3.4k pounds per week. I resigned as El Salvador manager with a win rate of 62%, my time as El Salvador manager despite the small sample size is an unqualified success. Also this is the Morocco squad. It is an extremely talented squad.

This is the Morocco squad for the games against Mozambique and Gabon in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers. These are some very crucial games so I hope we do well.

 

[sahajpal97]

We struggled defensively against Mozambique and got a 2-2 draw and we won 1-0 against Gabon. This has confirmed our qualification for the 2027 African Cup of Nations as the manager of the Morocco national team. This is by far the biggest tournament I have qualified for so far in my managerial career on this save.

 

[sahajpal97]

This is the Morocco squad for the friendly against Mauritania.

 

[sahajpal97]

Taoufik Rizki has been withdrawn from the Morocco squad as the Saint Etienne manager did not want him to be involved. Rachid El Attabi has been called up to the Morocco squad as his replacement.

 

[sahajpal97]

This is what happened in the friendly against Mauritania. We beat them 2-0, it was a good win.

 

[sahajpal97]

This is the Morocco squad for the games against Mozambique and Namibia in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

 

[sahajpal97]

Amine Adli unfortunately picked up a knock and will be out for 6 weeks, Amine Bassi has been selected as his replacement in the Morocco squad.

 

[sahajpal97]

We have won both our games in the remaining African Cup of Nations qualifiers, including a 6-1 thrashing of Namibia. Also here is what the qualification table looks like after all the games have been played. Also a club called Banbridge offered me a job interview and then the job but I turned it down because of wages.

 

[sahajpal97]

The groups for the 2027 African Cup of Nations have been drawn. We are in Group B with Comoros, DR Congo and Mali.

 

[sahajpal97]

This is the Morocco squad for the 2027 African Cup of Nations. Hopefully we do well in the tournament.

 

[sahajpal97]

I decided to apply for a few jobs, since the January transfer window has started. So I applied for them and I got interviews from a few clubs and I also got offered the Liptovsky Mikulas job in Slovakia but I declined it because of the wages.

 

[sahajpal97]

We have qualified for the next round of the African Cup of Nations. And we will be facing Tunisia. We also got approached by a few clubs but I turned them all down because of wages.

 

[sahajpal97]

We beat Tunisia 4-0 in the second round of the African Cup of Nations. And we will face Cameroon in the quarter finals of the tournament. I also rejected another club because of the wages on offer.

 

[sahajpal97]

We got knocked out by Cameroon in the quarter final of the African Cup of Nations. One man turned the game on its head, Youssoufa Moukoko. What a player, honestly. Gutted. It was also my first loss as Morocco manager. In other news I turned down another club because of wages.

 

[sahajpal97]

Cameroon have won the 2027 African Cup of Nations. They won the final against Cape Verde. We lost to the eventual winners of the competition in the quarter finals. Youssoufa Moukoko is just elite. No other way to put it. Also a shoutout to Cape Verde who shocked the punters to make it to the final of the African Cup of Nations, they did extremely well.

 

[sahajpal97]

I GOT.. SACKED. Sacked by Morocco. Shock sacking. I thought things were going well. It is also statistically my best performance as manager of any team in this save. A 70% win rate. Unbelievable Jeff. I don't even know what to say.

 

[sahajpal97]

So I have a new job. I am now the manager of the Nigeria national team. I am being paid 3.6k pounds per week. 200 pounds more than what I was being paid at Morocco. So, you tell me, was the Morocco sacking a blessing in disguise? I have attracted more money and I am closer to my goal of being the richest manager in the world. I won't let anyone re-write history for me. I did well as Morocco manager. And nothing is going to change that. Also this is the Nigeria squad.
