For this Football Manager story I have decided to start unemployed and see which club offered me a job I will be starting from a lower league in a certain country and try and build my way up so here we go.
 
As I have already started this story on another site I will be posting a lot of updates tonight hope some people read them lol
 
I have received many job offers from all over the world including England, France, Germany and Spain. I have chosen to manager Bochum








Why Bochum?




I wanted to start somewhere that was not in England to test my skills abroad and did not want to start in a top league because that would be too easy. Also Bochum were not expected to win the title they are a mid table team so that will be another challenging trying to win the title. I also felt this would be a good way to show my managerial skills to bigger clubs.










Budgets




I have been given £0 transfer budget and a 173K wage budget.







Targets




With the club already being 2.08M in debt I will need to get promotion quickly to avoid the debt becoming to big. So my target for the first season is be around the top 3 and have a nice cup run.

[/h][h=2]September(Bochum)[/h]





As I took over as the season had already started I had one game in September to play







2.Bundesliga

29/9/12

Paderborn 1-3 Bochum

Dedic, Gelashvili, Scheidhauer




A great start to my first game in charge Dedic scored the first. Then Paderborn scored on the break to make it 1-1 at half time but a great performance in the 2nd half gave us the win and it was nice to see both strikers score.
 







[h=2]October(Bochum)[/h]





6/10/12 Bochum vs Kaiserslautern 2-0

Dedic, Dabrowski




First home game of my reign and we won it comfortably good performance by everyone







21/10/12 Bochum vs 1860 Munich 1-0

Scheidhauer




This game could have gone either way and we just held onto the victory that would put us 3rd in the table thats 3 out of 3 for me.







24/10/12 Sandhausen vs Bochum 1-2

Scheidhauer (2)




What a great win we went behind early on but the character the team showed to come back and win it was amazing. Took us 2 points behind 1st. 4 out of 4 for me in the league.




28/10/12 Union Berlin vs Bochum 0-1

Gelashvili



We dominated this game from start to finish but could only find the one goal and that was enough to take us top. Still unbeaten in the league.




30/10/12 Bochum vs Kaiserslautern 3-0 (Cup 2nd Record)

Toski, Aydin, Acquistapace




I was so happy with the team after this a great performance and took us through the 3rd of the Cup where we will play Frankfurt




Job Offer



Over the month I was offered the job to become Roma's new manager but I rejected the offer because I felt I could take Bochum further and it was in the top league and I wanted a bit more of a challenge.



















League table



 



November




2/11/12 Bochum vs Duisburg 0-0




Dull game we should have won it but had to settle for a draw.







The Bayern Munich manager got sacked and Klopp the current Dortmund manager took over and I was offered the job, but would I accept it or not















I accepted the job, I thought long and hard about it but decided to take it.






Why Dortmund


I decided to take the Dortmund job because even though I had not been at Bochum a long time I wanted to test myself at a higher level. At the time I took over Dortmund were in 9th place and 3rd in their Champions League group.




Targets




To mount a title challenge and get to the last 16 of the Champions League.




Budget




I was given £6.45M to spend in the January transfer window and a wage budget of 924K
















17/11/12 Dusseldorf vs Dortmund 0-1
Gotze



A win in my first game as manager could not have got a better start even though it took till the 90th min to score the winner but a win is a win.


20/11/12 Dortmund vs Spartak Moscow 2-0 (Champions League)
Grobkreutz (2)


Good win in the Champions League we had to win if we had a chance to qualify for the next round and we did. We now face Barcelona in our final game and we have to win to qualify for the last 16 and knock Barcelona out.

25/11/12 Dortmund vs Leverkusen 2-1
Gotze, Reus


We won this game in the first 20 mins. We scored 2 in 2 mins but we could not score the third to kill them off but it was good performance and put us 4th in the league.


28/11/12 Hoffenheim vs Dortmund 1-3
Lewandowski (2), Grobkreutz

This was a great performance to come from behind as well and Lewandowski scored 2 his first goals under my reign. This took us to 3rd place.

1/12/12 Dortmund vs Suttgart 2-1Lewandowski (2)
We started off well with Lewandowski scoring after 1 min. Suttgart then hit back and it took a 77th min goal from Lewandowski to win it for us.

5/12/12 Barcelona vs Dortmund 4-0 (Champions League)
This was a very bad performance I thought we would lose but not by 4 goals. I told the players this and they looked upset and angry. Although the the damage was done before I took charge. We finished third in the group so we will play in the Europa League and my next target is to win it.

8/12/12 Bayern Munich vs Dortmund 0-2Reus, Lewandowski

What a game!! This game could easily decide the title and we won it and I was very proud of the players after the terrible performance in mid week the whole team were amazing.

15/12/12 Dortmund vs Frankfurt 2-1Lewandowski (2)

Great way to finish off the year with another win thats 6 out of 6 for me in the league an 7 out of 8 in all competitions.

In the Europa League I will play Olympiakos and if we beat them we will play Braga or Rubin Kazan

19/1/13 Dortmund vs Werder Bremen 4-2Lewandowski (3), Gotze
This was a wonderful performance after Schalke wining earlier in the day we had to win to keep up with them at the top of the table and we did with Lewandowski scoring a hat trick although we gave away too many chances

26/1/13 Furth vs Dortmund 3-1Gotze
What a **** performence after being on a high after the win against Bremen we then throw it away at the bottom club and we finished month in 2nd place a point behind the leaders.

In the January transfer window we welcomed Henrik Mkhitaryan to the club. A few clubs offered him a contract but he chose to join us over the likes of Real Madrid and PSG. This was the only deal of the January transfer window.

Review of the Season
When I took over we were 9th and 10 points of the top but as you can see we won the league by 8 points. We lost 2 league games that I was in charge. In Europe it was different story when I took over we had to win our last two group games we won one and lost one so finished 3rd in our group but we did win the Europa League not the one I was hoping for but its a European trophy in my first season at the club.

Just a very small complaint maybe stick to one font and one size of lettering thats all and good story so far :)

Thanks a lot mate will do that from now on. This is my first story so just seeing how it goes
 
Well as you can see in my last post we had just finished the season at Dortmund and I was preparing the side for next season when I saw that Jose Mourinho had been appointed the Manchester City manager. Then a week later I got a email saying Real Madrid wanted me as manager. I was stunned I thought about it long and hard it was new country and I thought I was just starting to build Dortmund to one of the best clubs in the world but a job like Real Madrid does not come along every days so I accepted it. My story will continue in the next post as manager of Real Madrid.











Why Real Madrid

I was moving up I started off at Bochum then I was offered the Dortmund job so went to a bigger then and then when one of the biggest clubs in the world offered my the job I had to accept it and I was given a big transfer budge
Targets
My target is to win the League and reach the semi final of the Champions League

Budget
I was given a transfer budget of £110M and a wage budget of 2.25M
 
[h=2]Preseason and Transfers[/h]




















24/8/13 Real Madrid vs FC Kobenhavn 4-0

Gomez (2), Ozil, Pjanic




Good win in my first game as manager and Gomez scored two on his debut for the club.




31/7/13 Genoa vs Real Madrid 1-3

Ronaldo, Khedira, Higuain




Another good performance against a decent side next couple of friendlies will be against Chelsea and Tottenham so tough games but will put us in a good place for the season ahead.







7/8/13 Chelsea vs Real Madrid 1-1

Gomez




Decent game a repeat of the Champions League final.







10/8/13 Tottenham vs Real Madrid 3-1

Ronaldo




Not a good result but that is what pre season is about getting to know the side and getting them used to my methods and tactics







Transfers




Marco Gomez £55M

If was going to to challenge for the league and the Champions League I need someone who would score and finish well and with only two other strikers at the club I needed to strengthen that area of the team. He would be my only big signing.







Michael Essien £15M

I needed another central midfielder as I play with two midfielders and I only had three in the squad so brought him in he impressed me when he was on loan there last season




Miralem Pjanic £20M

Always admired Pjanic and tried to buy him at Dortmund but did not have enough funds. A good player who can play any attacking midfield position or can be used as a central midfielder.




Andrey Arshavin (Free)

I brought him in because Di Maria got injured and will be out for 3 months. He will be a back up player when the main players are back from injury.




Transfer History after the first transfer window

A four goal win against a third division nothing less then expected but it was nice to see Gomez score his first hat trick for the club.
