FM18 - The Special One Reincarnated

Introduction

My name is Jack.

I have been playing FM ever since you could get It for Xbox 360 and Marcelo was at Fluminese before joining Real Madrid.

My past achievements include winning the league with Sunderland and the Champions League with Norwich.

Since 2013 I sadly lost my passion for FM, returning last year when I purchased FM18.

Past Inspiration

The inspiration for this save comes from one of the greatest Managers of all time, Jose Mourinho

The Jose we all cant help but love to hate was described as "Box Office" by Sports Journalist of the Telegraph - Henry Winters. In the summer of 2004, Jose was lured to the club by Billionaire owner Roman Abramovic, promising the funds to pretty much build the team Mourinho required to deliver the Premier League.

After my beloved Arsenal had gone the entire season unbeaten, Mourinho came along turning the Premier League completely on its head. Where Arsenal and United, Fergie v.s Wenger had been the norm in terms of rivalry for the past 8 years, a new Manager and Squad would prove to make a name for themselves for many years to come.


After winning two Premier League titles Mourinho moved to Italian Giants Inter Milan where after lost to Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the Champions League. with the help of a Ronaldo Goal.

Mourinho would learn from this when he then delivered Inter's first Treble the year after beating European Giants Bayern Munich in the final.



Afterwards, he felt he could not top the incredible achievement of the heights reached in Milan.

This is When Madrid came knocking. Mourinho would be foolish to turn down the chance to manage at the Bernabeu club. The only problem was Barcelona.

Once again, outside of England he would not achieve a great deal in his first season getting destroyed by Guardiola's Catalans.


Again Mourinho would soon combat his biggest rival. Being the tactical mastermind he is, he would then defeat one of the greatest teams of all time in the Copa Del Rey Final and then later on when he would beat Guardiola's Barcelona to the La Liga Title

Conte Bows Out On A High


Chelsea's now ex Manager Antonio Conte ended his reign on a high after completing an impressive double with the London club.
Sky Sports News understands Abramovic is seeking the current Napoli Head Coach, Maurizio Sarri as a long term replacement.

Chelsea Unveil Jack McRobert As Manager

Roman Abramovic has decided against his usual approach of signing an experienced manager who can provide instant success for the club on a short term contract.

Instead he has expressed a desire to build for the future here at Chelsea. The Blues won the Premier League last year however their squad is getting no younger. With their leading goalscorer Diego Costa returning to Atletico Madarid, the blues now must rely on Ex Arsenal man Olivier Giroud & Alvaro Morata.

Football Pundit Frank Lampard discussed his views on the appointment.

"To be fair, I think its time the club was given some stability. Weve been known to go through managers and I personally think its time for us to settle down and stick to one, and then build for the future."

Lampard was also doubtful of his ex club retaining the Premier League title.
" I personally worry that we don't have the depth this year. I think Costa will be a big loss for us. We need an out and out goalscorer and I wonder if Giroud and Morata can rise to that challenge."

McRobert has the difficult task of keeping Chelsea in the run in for the Premier League title this year with Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City all strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.

In spite of your love for the Woolwich team, I'm reading this, enjoying it, and wish you luck.

Are you maintaining a save on both FM18 (Chelsea) and FM17 (West Ham)?

@FoolishFooty - Thank you very for your comment. I am currently gravitating towards West Ham again but I certainly want to make Chelsea a force again!

@Stam- Hi Stam, because I am one of the most indecisive players, I have started a Chelsea save on FM18 due to my previous Man City save failing. However, yesterday I had someone ask where my old West Ham save was which made we want to give the Hammers one last try. So that is my most recent save in which I am paying most attention to currently.

The Jose Mourinho Save




So before we begin, this Mourinho save will consist of winning as many trophies as possible with Chelsea before moving onto an Italian team (ideally Inter) before then moving on to Spain where again, i will hopefully follow in Mourinho's steps managing Real Madrid.

The idea is to create a save that will emulate Jose Mourinho's success ultimately winning the biggest trophies in the biggest leagues in Europe.

Enjoy.
