Aymen Dahmen is going to join Darmstadt 98 from Real Sociedad for 130k pounds. Also Idrissa Toure can go **** himself for calling our club a tinpot club. I had to add this screenshot in here to talk about how petty our players can get. Also here are a couple of results that we got in the 2. Bundesliga, we started off with a win and we lost the next game.

Here are some results in the 2.Bundesliga. My team Darmstadt 98 has only got one win in the competition since I have taken over. We have got a few draws but we need good results quickly to turn things around.

We are losing more and more games. This is getting grim I have to admit. I seem really out of my depth at this level but I am hoping to turn things around. It is a 7 match winless run.

We had two more draws as Darmstadt 98 manager, it is getting frustrating, we are not scoring enough goals. And also there are a couple of injuries in our team.

Adnan Guler has extended his loan spell at Darmstadt 98 until next season from his parent club Schalke 04. We got our first win in 10 games and we also scored after a long scoring drought. Also two players extended their contracts.

Here are some of the results for our club Darmstadt 98, we are teetering on the edge of the relegation zone and we are just outside it. We need a couple of good results to truly be safe.

We lost our final two games of the season and we are now heading into the relegation playoff game. We need to step up and win it otherwise we will go down.

We finished 16th in the league. And we won the relegation playoff. So I will take that. I also requested for a new contract, and the board said they will offer me a new contract if I improve team atmosphere. I applied for many jobs. Let's see what happens.

The transfer budget for our team for next season is 288k pounds. The wage budget is 27.09k pounds per week. Ivory Coast want me as their manager but I am going to decline the offer because of the wages.

So this happened. I left Darmstadt 98 and I have now become the new Benfica B manager. I kept Darmstadt 98 up. And I had a 21% win rate at the club. Not one of my better stints but there is the one positive of keeping the club up in the German second division. I left Darmstadt 98 after just over 5 months. I am now off to Portugal. And I am now earning 11.25k pounds per week. I am looking forward to this new adventure. It is a different challenge. This is the Benfica B squad.

It is that time of the year again. It is the start of the summer transfer window. And I am here to talk about the managerial rich list. On top of the list is Antonio Conte at Inter who is earning 350k pounds per week. Second on the list is Jurgen Klopp at Real Madrid who is earning 175k pounds per week. And third on the list is Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool who is earning 160k pounds per week. Under Conte in the previous season, Inter won Serie A, lost the Super Cup final against Juventus, lost in the Champions League first knockout round to PSG and lost in the Italian Cup semi final against Genoa. Under Klopp last season, Real Madrid came 3rd in La Liga, they lost in the Super Cup final against Barcelona, they won the Spanish Cup against Real Sociedad and lost the Champions League final against Manchester United. Under Rodgers last season, Liverpool won the Premier League, they won the Community Shield against Manchester City, they won the Carabao Cup against Arsenal, got knocked out by Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter final and they got knocked out by Manchester United in the FA Cup semi final.
