———————————————

Transfers In First Window

So again a bunch of regen players but I will post the better ones as I bought two Koreans and Mauricio who has Korean citizenship. My only foreign buy was Baiano from Brazil so here are the new players :

Song Yong- H0

So a fairly good goalkeeper who is better than the one I have now, is also Korean so no problems with squad status etc I payed £35k for him.

Fernando Baiano

Bought as a young talent who could develop into a first team player, another promising player from Brazil he is a centre back.

Mauricio

Bought more as a back-up player he is a central midfield player who has Korean citizenship so again I have no problems with registering him in my squad.

The Halfway Point

Well its as easy as you would like but we have been brilliant so far, as results and our league position suggests. No defeats and only two points dropped all season with a massive goal advantage and its all too easy at the moment!

But all could change with the news I will bring to you now!

Transfers In And Out and The Loss Of Our Biggest Player!!!

Yes he has left! My amazing striker Olawale has departed I did everything I could to keep him but the money was just too much for this club.

He was defiantly worth more than £5 million and I will struggle to get anyone close to him so now my season is in danger I felt with Olawale the Asian champions league was winnable, now I am not that sure.

I did replace him with the £600k payed for Caballero so lets see if he can replace the iconic Nigerian.

Carlos Caballero

Ok so he is not amazing compared to Olawale but he is the best I could get in the time I had. He is obviously a striker but can he fill the gap left? Only time will tell I guess!

Here are Olawale stats to show how much of a loss he is!!

Welcome To Cairo!!

Welcome to Egypt! I am now the national coach of, and it seems Africa loves me as I am back again! Thats Morocco, Senegal and now Egypt and my goal is to win the African cup of Nations with my new team. A challenge but its always nice to try something else so I will post our three best players that Egypt currently have.

Amr Said

Ahmed Abdullah

Islam Ibrahim

So the players posted all play in Europe Said is a goalkeeper who is at Juventus, Abdullah is a central defender who is also in Italy at Inter Milan whilst Ibrahim is an attacking left sided player who plays for Arsenal.

All are more squad players than key members but am hoping I can bring success to Egypt!

Final League Games Of The Season

So we didnt manage to remain unbeaten all season losing two games in the second half of the season. For some reason I forgot to take a picture of the playoff final but we did win and comfortably too.

So we managed to regain our third title in a row so was pleased with that and that is that as they say!!

Final Player Ratings

So a real shame in losing Olawale but his replacement didnt do too bad scoring 16 times in 20 games.

My captain Shin Hyun lead the way scoring goals and creating chances for others but my whole team were fantastic, this team is set to dominate Korean football for a while so the future looks bright for FC Seoul.

Cup Competitions

The Pan Pacific Championship

The Final

So we managed to regain our pan-pacific trophy but even better news was that the team we met in the final Saitama UTD are the current Asian champions league holders! So having beat them my hopes of having a good champions league run have increased.

Korean League Cup

I really hate this format they have in the league cup but we didnt play to well in it anways. We were lucky just to get out of group but were well beaten by Seongnam in the quarter finals, I cant blame bad luck this time we were hopeless!

The Asian Champions League

The Final

Two down three to go! ;)

Olawale fired us through the opening stages as he destoyed teams that couldnt handle his pace and power, I was really worried when we lost in Japan at Saitama but we got through after a fine home win.

The final was a nervy affair but the new man Caballero scored a lovely winner from 25 yards to seal the deal!

The Club World Championship

So before I left I took part in this trophy and after a fantastic five zero opening win we were humbled by Bayern but gave them a really good game, penalties meant we lost to Corinthians and finished fourth which isnt too bad I guess!

Manager Profiles And Some Stats

And Finally!

So thats the end of my journey in Korea but I still have three other continents to crack! I also have the African cup of Nations to look forward too with Egypt for some reason I made a lot of enemies in South Africa!

Other managers seemed to really dislike me so thats why most have a bad opinion of me! For the first time ever on FM I have 100% in Domestic player Bias!! Mostly from my time in South Africa as I couldnt seem to sign anyone from abroad!

I am now world class so I should be able to get a decent job in either North America, South America or Europe. I guess I would like to do South America next but anywhere will do as both South Korea and South Africa are completed.

Again thanks for reading such a long post! I try to write as little as possible but also try to give as much info as possible which is a hard balance to find! My next post will be with my brand new club with the usual mix of confusion and complex rule changes to get my head around so hopefully you will look forward to that!

So until then bye for now and wish me luck! :)
