2013 Season Report
Hey guys, in this post I will run through each competition and what I will aim for next season. Here we go!
Veikkauliiga
I was aiming for a top-half finish in the league. After just one month, I realised that I could aim a lot higher and decided to challenge for the Top 4. Beyond that, I never expected to challenge for the title.
We performed well over expectations and we won the league, although by just one point. I was delighted with winning the league as not only is it a trophy, it is our pathway to the Champions League qualifiers. This will boost our reputation and give us a huge financial boost.
A large part of the awards were in KuPS' favour. My goal for the next season is to retain my league title.
Finnish Cup
My goal for the cup at the start of the season was to reach the final, and I certaintly achieved that! The final was thrilling but we won it, somehow. Here is our results:
This was a great season. My goal for next season is to reach the final again.
League Cup
My goal for the league cup was to get to the semi-finals. This was only my first set of competitive games and my tactics were still being tested. Here are the results:
A near-perfect set of results in this competition. My goal for next season is to get to the final, hopefully to win it.
Europa League
My goal was to perform well in this competition's qualifiers, not expecting to get through any rounds. We overperformed here:
We did well against AIK and Bremen, while Napoli just beat us. Next season we are in the Champions League qualifiers. If I can get in to either the Champions League or Europa League group stages, I will be delighted.

You will be glad to hear that I signed a new contract with KuPS:
I will leave you with KuPS' Goal of the Season. We start our pre-season on December 2nd, where we will go around Finland on a pre-season tour. Stay tuned!
