Well the season of South Africa is going to the end.
As I said a lot of time I'm satisfied for this 2 seasons.

now for the next weeks we will have some scrimmages and I believe we lose all due the enthusiasm because I've decide to recruit and dismiss all the players of database so it's easier for me to update database and also to see the situtation(who is trained and who's not trained).So probably we go down in world rankings but i believe that there is no proble.
now we are 36th next week we was in the first 30 teams of the world and for the end of the season I hope we will stay in this position!

Thats great :) Keep it up! Try winning the scrimmages as they count too :P

We go down two positions in world rakings and Al Maghrib(that L next week against SA) is going up ..

I start to recruit and dismiss the players of my database.I' m not very happy.Some players has no pops since the start of season,some players are trained but they are trained very bad.
The problem is that some users have good Sg/Pg and good PF-C in their team and they trained sometimes inside guys (in driving) sometimes outside guys(in rebound) or sometimes they decide to keep him in their time without play any game.I can't unterstand why sometimes they decide to not sell him.

Sometimes also I recruit some players that become FA and some users buy them and don'train them.
So in this season we lose a very very big number of young players,so in my opinion we can improve our team a litlle.

Good luck with the elections Jordan!
Man things are looking good in South Africa. I just took a quick look and saw that Cape Town Beez signed 2 huge players. Well to keep up with him I signed a solid center too. But just take a look at those huge salaries, I am pretty scared I might get bankrupt....what about you man?
Well, I'm not sure is my goals are too high, but I hope I can reach final 8 best teams in the world with BBB :)
Good luck!

Thanks for the good luck.
About my team the first matche was not very good.
I sold some players to become good inside but I don't know if i did the right thing.
About national team as I said I'm happy because some players are trained very well but I'm little afraid because as you know it's hard to become better with only 14 teams and with some users that train very bad their guys.
I continue to hope that one day South Africa could have a little more of users for example about 50.But It's only a dream.And cause this thing it's very hard to compete with European Team.the reality is that we have 14 users and I and Trex work to have the best from every players.

Congratulions for Zanotti ,I know his skils ,he's fantastic!

After the first win against Ghana today we play against Senegal.There's also a news in SA's staff.We have new scout: BlackMouse (47472)

Well Yesterday we won against Al Maghrib .Hard match and great win

Man of the match:Mhlaba!

With the match of today against Hellas there will be the end of my adventure as South Africa's coach.
After 4 seasons I decide to leave this ''work'' for different reasons:

1 the number of users in 4 seasons was always between 12-18 and so it's very hard to have very large improvements to the team because every draft we have a few number of 18-19 's old and only 2-3 players with high potential.

2 I decide to try to become coach in an other country that is bigger than SA

3 Only 67 % so you don't like me as the first 2 seasons :D

But I can say that I'm very satisfied for this 4 seasons: for two times we had 2nd place in Africa's cup.
We also went for two times in WC and for the first time we won a match in WC:in the first WC against USA,in the second against Australia and I believe that is a good results for one of the smaller country of BB.

About the team and the training I'm quite satisfied:
our big problem when I became coach was the inside guys.Now the situation is quite better with Mufamadi Bird that are still trained and also Mncebisi that is the best C in South Africa ,but unfortunately he already reach the potential

We have finally a good SF ,Wall, and in this season he become a very good player.

About PG/SG We have Beye that is our best PG but unfortunately in this year he never played and his coach never train him but he still to be our best PG.About SG we have Weinstein and Modise that have a lot of pops in this seasons and they now are very important for the team.

But in this position we have also the ''old men'' Makalakalne,Mhlaba,Mbatha .

And there're also some22-23's that now are not in NT but they are still trained.


I want to thanks all Sa's users ,all the trainers of the SA's players.
And also wish a good luck for next coach.I hope that the new coach will be a good coach.And also thanks to Blackmouse for his good work!

Goodbye South Africa

I can just be sad for that. I began to work in this great country as you were looking for a scout - remember? Than the new DB, than a lot of training, than my election...

I have to admit that size of the community is a big issue that affects this great country. We have players with decent potential as Wagana, Schartner, Burr, Kolane, that are growing more than acceptably and will dress NT jersey one day or the other. And I can tell you that this very small number of high potential players is typically well trained. However, it is easier to work in U21 as potential is not so critical than in NT. You did a great job, and defeating USA is something I would like to try, one day or the other

I think a priority to me, your successor and SA managers will be to make this promising community to grow. This country deserves it!

Good luck in your new job!
