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

These are the results against Venezuela and Brazil in the World Cup qualifying games. We did well in both games. Happy with the resolute performances. In the Brazil game, we looked like we were outplayed but a last minute penalty saved us.

So I applied for a number of jobs. I got a lot of interviews and I was even offered the Chennai FC job in the Indian Super League but I declined it because of the wages. But then a few days later, the Cameroon job was offered to me. So I resigned as Colombia manager and took the Cameroon job. The wages are 6k pounds per week, 500 pounds more than what I was being paid as Colombia manager. I had a 37% win rate as Colombia manager. It is not too bad, solid but unspectacular. That Colombia team has some good players but not outright superstars. Anyway here is the Cameroon national team squad.

We will be facing Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bisseau in our African Cup Of Nations Qualifying group. Also I had a couple of job interviews. And this is how our Cameroon side played in the friendly against Ivory Coast.

So now that July has started and the new season is about to start, here is how the managerial rich list looks like. Antonio Conte is top of the managerial rich list and is earning 350k pounds per week at Inter. Jurgen Klopp is 2nd on the list and is earning 175k pounds per week at Real Madrid and Vincent Kompany is 3rd on the list and is earning 165k pounds per week at Manchester City. Under Conte, Inter won Serie A last season, they won the Super Cup final against Roma, they got knocked out in the Italian Cup quarter final against Napoli, and they got knocked out by Manchester City in the Champions League first knockout round. Under Klopp last season, Real Madrid won La Liga, they won the Spanish Cup against Real Sociedad, they got knocked out in the first knockout round of the Champions League against Bayern Munich and they got knocked out in the Club World Cup quarter final against Bayern Munich. Under Kompany, Manchester City finished 2nd in the Premier League, got knocked out by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup fourth round, got knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter final, and they won the FA Cup in the final against Norwich. They also lost to Liverpool in the Club World Cup quarter final. I am currently earning 6k pounds per week as Cameroon manager. We are moving at snail's pace towards the top but it is a long way from Wealdstone.

Armand Ngomba has decided to represent Cameroon instead of France, so I am delighted about that. Also the CHAN tournament is happening and we are facing Chad's B team with our B team in the qualifying round. I was also offered the Newport County job but I turned it down because of the wages on offer. And USA won the Gold Cup.

This is the Cameroon squad for the World Cup Qualifying games against Nigeria and Zimbabwe. There are some changes, I am hoping that my players can step up their game and do a good job.

So these are the results in the World Cup Qualifying games for our Cameroon side. We beat both Nigeria and Zimbabwe. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Solid performance from the team so far.

This is the Cameroon squad for the World Cup qualifying games against Nigeria and Zambia. Hopefully we can continue the good form we have been showing lately.

So these are the results against Zambia and Nigeria. And yes my Cameroon side have qualified for the 2030 World Cup, so barring any opportunity that comes in which pays me a lot of money, I will be managing in the World Cup. This is by far my biggest achievement as a manager on this save.

I have left the Cameroon job and have joined Darmstadt 98 in the 2.Bundesliga in Germany. My highest profile club job so far. And also I am back in club football in the save after nearly 4 and a half years. I am now being paid 8.5k pounds per week. I had a 60% win rate as Cameroon manager and I was also unbeaten so I am extremely happy about that. This is the Darmstadt 98 squad.

Moise Sakava and Francis Etoundi are my first two signings in the winter transfer window. They have joined Darmstadt 98 on free transfers. My former player when I was Cameroon manager, Ryan Mmaee joined in as an under-19's coach. Yannik Meier signed a new contract with the club. Also Felix Bremer has an injury.
