Team: Cervia
Season: 09/10

Serie C Cup: 3rd in Group E (Didn't qualify but 2 places better)

So, another season, could this be one where I don't have to fight relegation? First interesting bit of news was that the club was taken over during the off-season so yeah, new board and all that jazz. Had to sign two new scouts as my previous scouts got greedy. Signed in quite a few players on frees through some expect scouting from the new guy, guess he's trying to impress. However, things go from bad to worse and by October we're rooted to the bottom on 3 points. After a series of losses the board got sick of me and so I left Cervia.

Team: Salernitana

So still in Italy and still in the drop zone. Took over as they currently sit 2 points off safety so it looks that I've not really improved in safety status. Either way it's still going to prove to be an interesting end to the season. Obviously next season is what I'm looking to as this is just reconciliation and safety. Unfortunately things went from bad to worse and ended up in the relegation playoff. A 4-2 aggregate win over Castrovillari saved me from the drop but perhaps, in time to come, not from the board.

So another season in Italy and, most likely, another battling against the odds. Pre-season was carp and so was the Serie C Cup, again. Anywho, I decided to trust in the youth coming through whilst trying to offload players and reduce the wage bill. Half-way through the season season me lying sees me lying 6th with a team performing quite well which makes a change. However, as seems to be the way, things went horribly wrong and our form plummeted. Obviously my pre-season form was just waiting to happen and the early season push was just a dream. A couple of fortunate wins poked us above relegation despite the fact we're seemingly incapable of keeping a clean sheet (7 all season!). In the end it was another depressing season of short glory lots of pain. The only upside was my under 20s retaining their title, maybe I should play them more?
