Long write-up my first 1.5 years!

My only qualification for picking a team is that they must have been in a big 5 league and not have been qualified for a European competition for the 1st season. 1st transfer window is off and I will play 5 mins on Pro, but CL away games will be World Class and Tournament Finals will be on World Class.

Narrowed it down to:

Inter
Monaco

Flipped a coin, and ended up with Monaco.

In my mind, I was gonna spend a few seasons dominating France and make a CL run before I hopefully got to manage a soccer giant.

However, my tenure at Monaco was only 17 games because out of the blue in December I got an e-mail from the Manchester United board and they offered me the gig. I initially was not gonna take it because I wanted this to stay somewhat real, but I stalled the offer and looked into how Manchester United were performing because it would take something bad for Moyes to get sacked that early. Turns out, they sat 9th in the EPL, were 4/4 in their CL group with 1 point, and were already eliminated from the Carling Cup (2-0 by Wigan).

So, I again left the decision to the coin. Heads - Monaco, Tails - Man U. It was tails, so after only 17 games I was all of the sudden hotshotted into one of the biggest spots in the game.

I usually go small and limit myself to transfers (maybe one 85 or below player, but the rest usually in the 70s), but I felt given the opportunity I had to act swiftly and make an impact in order to remake United on the fly with my stamp on it. I went crazy in the winter transfer window and made up for the failure that was Moyes' summer window.

2014 Winter Window

Spoiler

It took nearly all season, but I finally clawed back in the last week of the season and overtook City by 1 point... and won the Barclay's Premiere League in my first season!

I was able to get out of the CL hole and finished 2nd in the group. Defeated Atletico Madrid in RD 1, but was Eliminated by Porto in the CL Quarter Finals (CL finals was Barcalona over Man City).

I had never accepted any of the International jobs because I was focused on the CL and the EPL. However, like clockwork, as soon as the league wrapped up I got an offer from Germany to manage the team for the 2014 World Cup. I accepted the job, and won my group. Got all the way to the Final where I met Brazil. Didn't thnik I ahd a chance because A)it's Brazil and B)I suck on World Class. It was 0-0 after 90 and Pato scored quickly in the first OT session. In the second half of OT, I thought I pissed away my only chance when Mario Gomez missed wide with a header on a wide open net. I get a corner very late, and Muller scores a clutch goal to tie it 1-1. Penalty kicks seem on the horizon, but I had a great counter attack and Lukas Podolski scored the biggest FIFA goal I have ever scored to finally win Germany the FIFA World Cup.

- Defeated Uruguay in RD 1
- Defeated France in RD 2
- Defeated Spain in Rd 3 on penalty kicks
- Defeated Brazil in the Final 2-1 in OT

I resigned from Germany after the match because I didn't want to deal with selections and extra games. I started out year 1 hoping to get Monaco into the CL, and ended it as a Premier League Champion and World Cup Champion!
