A few days after sending some applications all over the world I got a call from a number I did not recognise.
"Hello" I said cautiously
"Hello" said the voice on the line in a strong African accent "This is Martin Boumal of Bamboutos FC De Mbouda in Cameroon I would like to offer you a job."
I was shocked a job offer so early, scepticism grew "yeah is that right ?" I said sarcasticly
"I am willing to fly to Scotland to meet with you, would you be ok with that ?"
"Yeah I would"
We then agreed a meeting place and were due to meet in a few days.
A few days later I was sat in the coffee shop we had agreed to meet in waiting nervously. After what had seemed like hours but was really about ten minutes, A large African man came into the shop and stood at the edge of my table.
"Mr.Miller I presume" He said in a deep voice.
"Yes" I whimpered.
"Hello, I am Martin Boumal and I want you to manage my football team."
We sat for a good few hours discussing the terms of my new contract. In the end we agreed on a deal that consisted of £375 p/w contract that lasted until 31/12/2014 and a house near the stadium. It was now offical I was the manager of a football team.
