And again my Italian AM C didn't win the European Golden Boot, despite Netherlands being 5th in the UEFA coef. rankings

Anyways, the season. Basicly it was a repeat of last season. Started off rather good, topping the table after 10 games, dropped to 7th by the winterbreak, climbed to 3th at the end of the season.
Cups: Champions League: qualified from a group with Man.Ure, Valencia and Porto to get knocked out by Olympique Lyonnais in the 2nd Round.
We won the Dutch Cup \o/

Season 2012/13, Emmen
League: 3th, 34-72
Dutch Cup: Winners \o/
Champions League: 1st Knockout round.

Former clubs:
QUB finished 2nd in Northern Ireland Premier League.
Skewen Athletic finished 11th in the Welsh premier Division.

Just after my last update I got offered the USA national manager job and I decided to take it. I started off with a 7-0 win over Jamaica and qualifying for the 2014 Worldcup. During that WC the first 2 matches were lost heavy so in a ****ed off mood I decided to resign as national manager.

Emmen.. Well.
We started off very good, unbeaten untill the last match before the winterbreak. In the winterbreak my star Italian AM C was sold to Inter Milan (damn release fees..) and the team seemed to be down about that loss and we started to lose our 12 point lead. After playing around with some players we finally picked up again and we clinched the title on the 33th matchday.
The cup stayed with us, the CL was a predicted 4th place in our group (Rangers, Chelsea and Porto) after we qualified by beating Deportivo 4-2 agg.

Season 2013/14, Emmen
League: 1st 34-79
Cup: Winners \o/
Dutch Super Cup: winners \o/
CL: Groupstage

Former clubs:
QUB finished 3th in Northern Ireland Premier League
Skewen finished 6th in the Welsh Premier.
USA finished 4th in their WC group, Brazil won their 4th consecutive Worldcup tile :X

I think I'll jump ship, I have nothing more to win in Holland. Probably I'll just resign and wait who wants me.

Although I did say I would jump, I didn't do it. Somewhere it didn't seemed good to leave.

Now I just recived a joboffer from Chelsea, should I accept it?
EPL season is over, with Emmen I have to play 2 more leaguegames and a cupfinal.

Well, if you think you've earned it and you want it, it's all yours.
