nickyboy Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hi all I am writing to you in order to announce that I am leaving the country, following as some of you know a difficult couple of years . I just wanted to say thanks for all your help and advice on the board!!! Bags are packed & I'm ready to leave. I would have liked to have had a chance to tell people sooner but an exciting new job opportunity was offered to me this week, and I needed to make a quick decision, in order to secure this position. I have decided to go & manage a football team... I have always secretly harboured such a desire, & I could not turn down this once in a lifetime opportunity to fulfil my personal dream. This brings all my leadership experience to bear in one fantastic opportunity that I cannot possibly turn down. The family will just have to live without me for a while. The team is based in Northern Brazil. This is a very poor & remote area of the country, with the nearest city being some 200km away. Communications are primitive by western standards, the infra-structure antiquated, & living standards basic. On top of this, the area suffers from Torrential rainstorms. Despite all this I am looking forward to the challenge ahead. One of The main aspects of the job is to stay in close contact with the team, day & night. We will adopt an Italian style closed training camp regime with no outside contact, except when playing our games. This will give me ample opportunity to focus on individual players and the team as a whole. I am looking forward to the close & intense bonds that this will hopefully create. Both the players & myself appreciate that we must be prepared To give as well as receive. There is no postal service, telephone network, or internet facilities, so I guess I'm not going to get on the board that much!!!!! It will be just me & the team, 24/7. If you are interested I'll attach a photo below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Sounds like a rewarding job opportunity. I can see it being quite tiring as well though! You'll need a lot of stamina to keep the team happy, and you'll need to make sure you stay on top of them to make sure things don't get out of hand!
