Why Have I Chosen Lisbon?
Two reasons. Firstly: Lisbon are my team. I love them and want to see them succeed.Secondly, they are really badly struggling this season. They already sacked Sa Pinto, and the new manager hasn't done much better. I want to rectify this, especially as a supporter.
Who Am I?
I am someone you probably wouldn't really expect. I have decided to become 51-year-old German legend Lothar Matthäus. No previous experience, yet tasked with making Lisbon Portuguese and European Champions.
