In yesterday's speciak Aswijan Assignment post, we saw Zagora Athletik manager Trebor Mahtal make the step up to the next level of Aswijani football by taking the reigns at Khaliza Unidi. Interestingly, Zagora replaced me with Maarten Stekelenburg!
Our second season in Aswijan ended with the unbelievable achievement of Zagora Athletik securing promotion from Liga Principale at the first time of asking. And that meant we would be competing in the top tier of Aswijani football, Liga Regale, in 2021/22.
With 6 games remaining in our first season in Liga Principale, Zagora Athletik sit in 4th place and in the middle of a tight battle for the final two playoff places. And things were about to get a bit crazy.
Zagora Athletik's unexpected first season success took the club into the second tier of Aswijani football. A decent amount of rebuilding was required but nothing too major as I kept faith in the players that had earned us promotion.
Season one in Aswijan has been a hugely enjoyable, totally unexpected success. Despite being predicted to finish 12th and with odds of around 14/1 to win the league, Zagora Athletik secured promotion from Liga Dukh at the first opportunity!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the brand new country of Aswijan for a Football Manager 2020 save that's a little bit different. If you haven't read the introduction to this series then go and give it a read here. If you have, then let me introduce you to our new life in Aswijan.
