Just completed three seasons so I'm starting my update. Loaded FM 08 with all European leagues.
Cuneo Italian Serie C2/A
I asked Frank and he sent me off to Italy with last year's Serie C Cup runners-up.
2007/08
League: After some decent performances not getting results, we were bottom after 5 games, where we stayed until the winter break, still without a win. Our first league win came from our 19th match, a 3-2 win over Mezzocorona, but we were still 10 points adrift of 17th-place. Another 3-2 win, this time over 17th-place Ivrea started a four-match unbeaten run, but we still only managed to get to within 9 points and we never got any closer. We were relegated on 13th April 2008. I resigned immediately. Serie C2/A:P31 W3 D7 L21 GD-39 Pts16 18th (Relegated)
Serie C Cup: We won our first game 3-0 against a supposedly superior team, followed by a draw with a supposedly inferior team. Another draw, followed by a loss meant that a win in our final match would put us through. Anything else and we were out. We went 1-0 down, pulled it back and went 2-1 up. We then went 3-2 down. We equalised in injury time, only to be hit on the counter to make it 4-3. Group Stages:P4 W1 D2 L2 GD+2 Pts5 3rd (Eliminated)

I got offered this job on 16th April and immediately accepted and headed off to sunny Portugal.
2007/08
League: They were in a relegation group playoff when I arrived, with three games left. I won the first game, then won the second game, but lost the last game. This was enough to avoid relegation. Relegation Group C:P6 W4 D0 L2 GD+6 Pts12 1st
2008/09
[b]League: We started poorly, losing our first three games, getting our only win in the fourth. We never really got a decent run going and I resigned on 19th October after two heavy defeats against our rivals. Second Division Group B First Phase:P8 W1 D1 L6 GD-13 Pts4 12th
Portuguese Cup: We faced a non-league team in our first game. The game went back and forth, although all of their goals were either deflected or from set pieces. They got a penalty in stoppage time at 4-4. They scored it and we were out. Second Round: Leça 4-5 Progresso (Eliminated)

There were three jobs available (not including Leça) and as Skellefteå were the first to give me an offer, off I went.
2008
The season had finished by the time I arrived, but they'd come 4th, so I was hopeful of a decent crack at the title next season.
2009
League: Predicted to finish 4th again, I brought in four players to strengthen our attack, as well as a goalkeeper. An inconsistent start, followed by a run of defeats meant we were just above the relegation places at the midway point. In the second half of the season we were still struggling near the relegation places due to inconsistency, although we never looked in any real danger of going down. Second Division North:P22 W5 D9 L8 GD+1 Pts24 7th
Swedish Cup: The First Round draw gave us a tough tie at home to First Division side Ängelholm. We went a goal down after 16 seconds and we were outplayed for the whole match, although two own goals didn't help... First Round: Skellefteå 2-5 Ängelholm (Eliminated)
