Kevin’s Story Update: Misery in Montevideo…

Hello friends and welcome back to my Football Manager Story which left off last time with me resigning from Vancouver and taking an Air Canada flight to the southern hemisphere. This will be merely a placeholder update just so everyone knows the story is still alive as the past week has been incredibly busy due to coordinating a project that involved people from coast to coast on the North American continent.

So where did that Air Canada flight end up? As most of you will have probably figured out it landed in Sydney, Australia with the connecting flight to Western Australia and the home of the Perth Glory. Having been convinced the manager’s job would be mine I had resigned from the Whitecaps….

….but after days of waiting I didn’t get it. What?

Devastated I took another flight, this time taking me to Montevideo, Uruguay, where I spent the next several weeks unemployed and miserable hanging around the Plaza Independencia having failed to secure vacancies at Penarol, River Plate, Atletico Miniero in Brazil, Everton in Chile and even got laughed at by Salt Lake City back in the MLS who had fired their manager.

Then suddenly when all seemed lost, came a job offer out of the blue. Off to the airport boarding flight LA905 to Santiago, Chile where I changed planes switching to flight QF322 and 24 hours and 35 minutes later I was once again starring down at one on the most iconic structures in the world but this time I was not connecting onwards.

A quick taxi ride to Allianz Stadium, the home of my new employers…

To be continued….

Thanks for reading this quick update.

COME ON ENGLAND!!
