Career My Philosophy - Montrose FC

[SSolas]

CHOOSING THE CAREER

I chose to manage Montrose FC because they are close to where my family live in Angus, Scotland. The club was formed in 1879 and have never gone further than League One in Scottish Football. I wanted to see if I could take this small scottish club to the next level.

STADIUM & FACILITIES

When I arrived at the club, they had average 1st & Youth Facilities. I did ask the board if these could be improved but this request got declined. The Stadium capacity is over 4,900 with the ground being sold out most weeks.

STAFF, FINANCES & TRAINING

Montrose FC has a small backroom team with all Bronze Badges. This season, I included some attacking coaches in the form of legends Dennis Bergkamp & Harry Kewell. The Finances are orange currently due to the high number of players bought in. Training was delegated to my Assistant Manager Dennis Bergkamp.

SQUAD

The Montrose FC Squad underwent major changes. Almost all of the squad was sold or released due to not being good enough or high enough quality to keep. I bought a lot of players all of which were the best & most affordable with Pace & Stamina attributes.

TACTIC

I used my ATTACKING Tiki-Taka tactic for this season. The squad took around 10 Matches to fully adjust to this system but after, absolutely smashed it. We ended the season with the best defensive record in the league!

THE RESULT

My season with Montrose FC was very successful with PROMOTION TO THE SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIP for the first time in the clubs long history!!🥳🥳🥳 We started off slowly but soon went on an incredible run of form, taking the league by storm. If you look below, you will also see that we had an excellent run in the Domestic cups, crashing out narrowly.

Great start mate, Dylan Tait is someone I had on a Raith save once and he developed very nicely. Look forward to keeping an eye on this!
