Ana – FM 2011: F.C.A.K, Season Seven

Hi everyone!

So I ended up in a job that is the worst yet! I am at F.C.A.K and I will give a prize to anyone who has heard of them! To let you know they play in the first division of South Africa a place I really didnt want to end up! I just couldnt get a job anywhere and despite my trophy haul in Hong Kong I am worse off than I was.

Infact I am further away from winning any champions league than ever, but no one said that this was going to be easy!

—————————

So having spent an age trying to find the badge for my team to use as the feature image! I guess we should first look at the background of this first division South African club.

Quite easily the worst side I have managed during my career but i waited almost six months for a job so just took this one! That said the club is predicted 2nd so at least they have a half decent team also I took over 18 games into the season which is just about the halfway point!

Results And League Table Before I Took Over

So you can see why the previous manager was sacked! We currently lie 8th out of nine! And we seem to play every side FOUR times a season! Twice at home and twice away I believe that the top team may get promotion and the second place is a playoff against the second placed team in the coastal league which is equal to ours!

Again very confusing and am hopeless at explaining things! But this is my first time in South Africa!

Call It A Day!

I decided to focus 100% on my new job so I resigned from Morocco and I wasnt really that happy there. My new team is going to be hard enough without the extra pressure of a national job!

My New Signings

So the standard of league is really poor think of the the really low leagues in England or Spain, and thats the kind of players I am dealing with! So I did manage to buy a few players I dont really know the rules on foreign players so all are South African!

Sean Sethlodi

My first signing who is twice the player of my previous defensive midfield player! Thats the type of players I am working with!

Bogani Sibeko

The best centre forward I could find! Hopefully he can score some goals!

Sihle Mashaba

My best signing and my best player! Really tall central defender with good tackling and heading.

Final Results + League Whilst I Was In Charge

So I was very happy with how the season went my team wasnt that bad I just needed to get morale up as some of the players were fairly good. I played a new formation which worked very well and we only lost twice whilst I was in charge winning a large amount of games.

So all these names will mean nothing to you! To be fair they mean nothing to me and its my team! Phiri was a really good poacher but had to resort to playing upfront on his own due to lack of players. Mashaba the tall defender I bought had a good start but we will need alot of improvement if I want to get out of this division.

I’m afraid thats it! Only a few games played but I ended up in the bottom rung of South African football. All my achievements at South China have counted for nothing! My reputation is still continental but I was rejected for every single Korean job.

Even for teams predicted at the bottom! So I am even further away from winning the champions league! My goals have changed and I dont really know where it went wrong! But I am here now at F.C.A.K and seeing as I dont know what F.C.A.K stands for I am going to say Farewell China And Korea! :)

Again thanks for reading and welcome to South Africa!!!
