So that is it then. I have been interviewed and hired as the new boss for Denmark team AAB. They are a historic team who will be my first foray into management. July 2024 I have evaluated the squad and found we were lacking quality in midfield and lacked any pace at all at centre half. Due to the size of the club and only having 2 million in the budget my main aim is to sign players we can develop at the club to make profit on by selling to the bigger leagues. If we can have this at the foundation of what we do as a football club then we would be in a good position. We sold ageing striker Helenius for £560k as he was in the final year of his contract. We then loaned in Leicester’s Opoku to replace him. We also loaned out young left back Amankwah to gain much needed experience at Mjallby AIF. Our other business in the window prior to the first game has been to sign 16 year old Idris Said from Kobenhavn after they released him from their academy. Let it be ‘said’ he may have a big role to play in the future.

Haha yeh so I did. That’s what happens when I’m writing notes late at night I guess. Apologies 😂

Thank you so much. I’ve read yours and other stories for years. Thanks for the advice. I will do that for all the next updates.

Welcome to the forum mate! Brilliant to see a new face here. Playing with Viborg myself currently, it's also nice to see someone else give the Danish league a shot 🙂If you're open to suggestions, it would be nice to see your images inside your thread, so one wouldn't need to press them all to see them. If you do this, your thread will be much easier to read and follow. I will write a short introduction to how it's done, in case you don't know how.Press the "insert/edit image" button above, choose your file and press "insert image". If you want the images centralized in your post, press the HTML and write <center> before it and </center> after.

A 28year old Denmark international central midfielder for 1 million. In the last year of his deal this was a market opportunity to add real quality to the side.Sorry to say it, but I believe you are mistaking Denmark for Switzerland here. Their flags are also both red with a white cross, but Haas isn't Danish. Still a good signing though.

Always nice to welcome a new member. I shall be reading the story with interest: first and foremost there needs to be a story (most people find it hard to get through the early stages, read: the first couple of months of the first season in a career).If in need of tips, feel free to ask here, in the General Discussion Thread or via direct message.

The board are slightly annoyed as they wanted us to reach the Champions League quarters...... We simmed the second Play off game and lost 3-2 in the second leg. We have now been placed into the Europa League and the board wants us to ....... Reach the Group stage. Yeh sound reasoning board 🙂 Before that we have a lovely home fixture against Kobenhaven to play.

Seems about right. You know, I'm playing with Viborg myself. Ending in the top half for like the 2nd time in the last 20 years, as far as I recall. Qualifying for their first ever Champions League and first ever league phase / group stage in Europe. Expectation: Reach UCL Quarter Final, which no Danish team has EVER accomplished. Stupid.

Slightly manic after xmas but finally an update.
The next game we let the assitant manager take in the Champions League play off. We lost 3-2 to feranvaros again. This means we dropped into the Europa League where we take on Wolfsberg AC (WAC).

14 mins in * went 1-0 up with a unstopperble shot into the top right corner by Mattsson.
Against the run of play Iredale equalised in the 31st min latching on to a superb cross from Gutierrez.
That’s how the game would stay. With a tired squad that is a superb result.
BOSS WORDS
My word. Iredale. What a player. He is so consistent! He really bailed us out today.

Skov comes off the bench to snatch a late equaliser!
After a shocking display in the champions league play off round we dropped down to the Europa league play off round. This was against Wolfsberg. Victory over two legs was essential. This is the type of game Wass was brought in for. To stand up and be counted. Bischoff also got a start on the wing.
A massive deflection saw Nielsen unfortunately be credited with an own goal. It took into the 81st minute for us to break through there defence but Skov displayed some quick feet to dribble past the back line and slot home. The game would stay level and it was all to play for in the second leg.
Boss review
What a game that was. I know many of you will be worried about the second leg but we will do our best to ensure that you are proud once push comes to shove.

Unfortunate defeat to Ferencvaros, missing qualification to Champions League. It wasn't even the worst possible opponent to draw in the playoffs.
That said, qualifying for the Europa League in stead may come in handy in the end. You will avoid most of the best teams this way, and the chances to qualify for a spot in top 24 have increased now.

Yeh that’s if we make it through the play off round! That still won’t be easy. Hey ho we must try our best!
