Pentagon Challenge - Season 1

-


 

So, here's the form of the team at the time I took over:



Not exactly great, with only 2 wins in the league so far.  So it's no great surprise the previous manager was given the sack.  But, can I turn things around?

My task is to keep the club in Ligue 1.

It started off well enough, with a convincing win in the Coupe d'Algerie, but league form was an issue with no wins in February.

March was an excellent month, with no losses and three wins from four league games.

However, that's where the good news ended.  April and May were both absolutely terrible.  There were a couple of game where we were perhaps unlucky not to pick up at least a point, but for the most part the performances were every bit as bad as the results were.


Our fate was sealed with one game to go when the 4-0 loss condemned us to relegation.  Then for laughs, the team decided to end the season playing like prime Barcelona to score a dominant 6-1 win against ES Setif.

We ended the season in the same position that I took over in.  Although we did win more points in the second half of the season under my management, it simply wasn't enough.


With the club facing life in a lower division and with finances down the toilet, I got the following news item:



Following relegation, a large number of the players with contracts beyond the season have stated their desire to leave, so assuming I don't get sacked, a huge rebuild is going to be required.

Pentagon or Bust - Introduction

  With the wait for FM25 and wanting something to freshen FM24 up, and I’ve seen mention of this challenge.  For those who don’t know (and I’m sure that’s nobody), I’ll explain.  The Pentagon is the challenge of winning the top continental competitions in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa.  But you have to start unemployed, with no coaching badges and the lowest possible starting reputation. This sounds like a challenge.  And it will be!  For context, in my many years of playing this game (and I’ve been playing since the original CM), I’ve never won a Champions League and the only league titles I’ve ever won are the Premier League in the original CM (with Sheffield Wednesday - Chris Bart-Williams was an unstoppable goal machine) and Serie A with Milan a couple of years ago.  So, I don’t exactly have a record which suggests this is even remotely possible for me. Regardless, I’m gonna give it a go and record my successes (and more lik...

  Season 2025/26 - CS Constantine - Algerian Ligue 1 So, as the pre-season was underway, we are predicted to finish 5th.  US Biskra are also expected to avoid relegation, and I do hope they manage it. When at my interview, I did say I'd like to take my next coaching badge (I did manage to get my National C last season but forgot to mention it in the previous posts), however the Chairman said  he didn't think it would be necessary.  Regardless, I thought I'd ask again once I was actually in the hotseat. To my surprise, they actually agreed. Pre-season results were very much a mixed bag: It turned out we were in a Continental competition, the CAF Confederation Cup.  I think that may be the African equivalent of the Europa League, but I'm not completely sure on that.  However, it doesn't really matter too much as Zambian side Zesco United beat us 3-2 over the two leg Preliminary Round.  We'd looked decent in the first leg, but in the away leg we were all ...
