CHOOSING THE CLUB

I chose Gozzano for a challenge. They are one of the smallest clubs in Serie C and all of the italian leagues are highly competitive which makes progressing up them difficult. I wanted to test my Philosophy and keep finding out the best way to manage.

STADIUM & FACILITIES

When I arrived at the club, Gozzano had poor 1st team training facilities & basic youth facilities. My 1st task was asking the board members to improve this, which they did, giving us below average facilities to work with. The stadium only holds 800 supporters with an embarrassing average attendance of 0!

STAFF, FINANCES AND TRAINING

I delegated the training regime over to my Gold Badged Assistant Manager Nicandro Vizoco. The finances of the club are only OK at the moment as I have had to strike a Balance between improving the team & keeping us on a sound financial footing. Due to the better club facilities, we have increased and improved our coaches - something that happens annually.

SQUAD

You can see the squad movement from my 2nd season in charge below. There were many changes as I kept:-

  • Assessing( 22 Players, 2x players in each position, Key Attributes over 10+)
  • Searching(Buy the cheapest natural players who fit key attributes(10+)(Any Age!)(Focus on Fitness in ALL positions with fitness Key Attribute)- Narrow down to 1-2 Players
  • Buying in new players to improve the squad

A lot of the players bought in were younger than the players going out, this was in part due to their high level of fitness.

TACTIC

The system I used for Gozzano was my Tiki Taka Tactic based on Pep Guardiolas Barcelona side of 2011. Our Defence was outstanding and we ended up having the best defence in the league. Our attack was less successful,scoring considerably less than the top two teams.

THE RESULTS

The results from my First 2x seasons in charge have been outstanding, gaining Promotion to Serie B in my 2nd season 🏆🥳🥳. This achievement means more due to the size of the club and the competitiveness of the league - we did not lose 3x Consecutive matches over those 2 seasons which is remarkable. In saying that, the consistency could be improved and we were still getting too many draws than wins.

Good one mate but the tiki taka tactics is the reason you are getting too many draws. It doesn't really suit teams in the lower leagues. My opinion though. Looking forward to the next update
