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

[sahajpal97]

There have been a few job interviews. But nothing concrete so far. Still waiting for answers. If something interesting comes up I could leave the Nigeria national team.

 

[sahajpal97]

So Michael Iyoha has confirmed his switch to represent the Nigeria national team. Also this is the squad for the friendly against Argentina.

 

[sahajpal97]

My best win ever so far as manager of any team. I beat Argentina 4-0 with my Nigeria side. My principles of playing the most in form players and stacking them together in a side have worked. I can say despite my multiple stints at many clubs, my methods of management pay off and at least the theory behind it makes sense.

What happened in Europe in the 2026-27 season (Part 2)

 

[sahajpal97]

So this is the Nigeria squad for the friendlies against Malawi and Hungary. Hopefully we do well in them.

 

[sahajpal97]

These are the results in the friendlies against Malawi and Hungary. We won both games. In the Malawi game we had 55 shots on goal and 28 on target, we were insane in that game. How we did not manage to score more, I don't know.

This is how the managerial rich list looks now. Top of the list is Antonio Conte at Inter Milan earning 350k pounds per week. In second place is Diego Simeone at Manchester City earning 185k pounds per week. And in third place is Jurgen Klopp earning 175k pounds per week. Under Conte last season, Inter Milan finished 2nd in Serie A, won the Italian Cup against Genoa in the final and got knocked out in the Champions League first knockout round against Manchester United. Under Simeone last season, Manchester City won the Premier League, lost the European Super Cup to Chelsea, lost the Community Shield to Liverpool, got knocked out in the Carabao Cup third round against Arsenal, lost to Brighton in the FA Cup quarter final and got knocked out in the first knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. Under Klopp last season, Real Madrid finished 3rd in La Liga, won the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico Madrid, got knocked out by Leicester in the Champions League first knockout round and lost the Spanish Cup final against Barcelona.

I had an interview with the Racing Santander B team, I even got offered the job but I rejected it because of wages. Also this is the Nigeria squad for the friendly against Angola.

 

[sahajpal97]

We lost the friendly against Angola, it was a surprising loss but Angola played very well, so full credit to them.

 

[sahajpal97]

The African Cup of Nations qualifying group has been decided. We will face Gabon, Madagascar and Mauritania. Also this is the squad for the friendly against Senegal.

 

[sahajpal97]

This is what happened in the friendly against Senegal. It is a difficult period for us currently but I have confidence we can get through this.

 

[sahajpal97]

We will be facing South Sudan in the World Cup Qualifiers second round. Olumide Durojaiye is the new Nigeria Under 23's manager. This is the squad which will face South Sudan.

 

[sahajpal97]

So first thing Alex Iwobi got injured so Peter Olayinka was drafted in as his replacement. And we beat South Sudan both times. We have now qualified for the third round and we will be facing Zambia, Zimbabwe and Cameroon.

 

[sahajpal97]

This is the African Championship of Nations 2028 group stage draw. We are playing with our B team. So we have Egypt B, Guinea B and Zimbabwe B in our group. Aniekpeno Udoh has chosen to represent Nigeria. Also the squad for the African Championship of Nations has been decided.

 

[sahajpal97]

Since the january transfer window started, I applied for many jobs and got an interview from Braintree, I then got offered the Montenegro job, I accepted it. I had a 71% win rate as Nigeria manager, I did relatively well. The pay rise was from 3.6k pounds per week to 4.7k pounds per week. And this is the Montenegro squad.

 

[sahajpal97]

I had a few job interviews, few clubs approached me but I turned them down because of the wages on offer. Also there were a few injuries to my players.

 

[sahajpal97]

So this is the Montenegro squad for the game against Slovenia in the European Championship Qualifying Playoff Semi Final. It is going to be a good game and it will be my highest profile game in the save so far.

 

[sahajpal97]

We beat Slovenia in the European Championship qualifying semi final and we will now face North Macedonia in the European Championship qualifying final.

 

[sahajpal97]

So we lost to North Macedonia in the European Championship Qualifying Playoff Final. We did not make it to the Euros. it is a bit disappointing. So close yet so far. The team is short on quality compared to the Nigeria and Morocco squads. But this is a real test of my managerial skills. A relatively smaller European nation have paid me good money to keep their team competitive.
