Career FC 93 - My Philosophy

SSolas · September 4, 2021

CHOOSING THE SQUAD

I chose FC 93 because they were one of the smallest clubs in the lower leagues of French football. The club was founded in 2013 & is based around Paris. I have tweaked my philosophy slightly so wanted to test it out with this club.

STADIUM & FACILITIES

When I arrived at the club, the training facilities were basic & the stadium held 1,500 supporters, I asked for these to be improved by the board. The board agreed to improve our 1st team & youth training facilities to a below average standard. The stadium capacity remains at 1,500.

STAFF, FINANCES & TRAINING

Training is delegated out to Assistant Manager Ricardo Carvalho. The Finances are in a very healthy state. The staff room is full now but only to a basic level.

SQUAD

On arriving at the club, many players were bought in & out of the team. You can see the players bought in were relatively cheap due to the clubs low transfer budget, I again focused on STAMINA,PACE & POSITIONING. The players out were not good enough for the squad & most were released on a Free to ease up the wage budget.

TACTICS

I used my Attacking Tiki Taka Tactic but amended the tempo to slow. This was to see if it would improve our consistency throughout the season, attacking chances & results. Despite the result of the season, the stats don't lie & again we had superb defence but lacked badly in attack.

THE RESULTS

The amended philosophy was successful & we ended up winning the league. The defence was outstanding again & we were near the top all season with a win rate of 46%.The attack still needs work though & we ended up drawing too many games - again, more work to do.
