Pentagon Challenge - Season 2 (2024/25) - Part 2.

Season 2024/25 - US Biskra - Algerian League 2 West (part 2)

January 2024


We manage a perfect month, not even conceding a single goal and scoring almost at well with several big wins to keep the heat on CR Témouchent.

February 2025

Another perfect month, with two wins from two games.  But, most importantly, a win over CR Témouchent to bring us level with them on points, but ahead on goal difference.

March 2025

Frustratingly, we follow up the big win last month with a draw, but win the other league game, with a fitness/morale friendly played in between the two league games due to us getting to a part of the season where we're only playing every 2 weeks.

April 2025

Another 2 game month, another 2 wins.  We're now clear at the top of the table thanks to CR Témouchent losing another game this month.  The title is very much in our hands at this point.

May 2025

Winning the first game of this month put us in a commanding position, however the 2 draws had the potential to ensure we completely bottled the title race.  After the ASM Oran game, we had an anxious wait to find out the CR Témouchent result, as they played 2 days after us.  With us being only 2 points ahead of them at this point, a win would have put them a point ahead with one game to go, and therefore putting the title race out of our hands.  Thankfully, Oued Sly also earnt a draw with them like they had done with us 2 weeks before, meaning with only one game to go, we were a point ahead.


Our final game was against IRB Ouargla who were struggling at the wrong end of the table, whilst CR Témouchent and ASM Oran played each other on the final day.  ASM Oran were effectively unable to catch us due to our massively superior goal difference, and all we needed to do was to win to ensure we would win the league title.  A draw would be enough, as long as CR Témouchent didn't win.

Thankfully, the result of the other match ended up being irrelevant, as we did our part with a nervy and narrow 1-0 win.  However, ASM Oran actually won their match, meaning they overtake CR Témouchent on the final day, and they will potentially meet again in the promotion playoffs, whilst we will be planning our attack on Ligue 1 again, and hoping to make a better go of it this time around.

Pentagon Challenge - Season 3 (2025/26) - Part 1

  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 ...

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 t...

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...
