Football's Godfather: GOAT Manager

Football was everything in my life, yet not everything. As a coach, I steadily built my career: Bundesliga coach, Youth Team manager, and Reserve Team head coach. It was textbook and successful, almost as if compensating for my past failures. As a player, I had failed. I never bragged about my career to others, not out of shame. A team like that existed? A player like that too? The questions weren't mocking or derisive, but purely curious. I never introduced myself as a former footballer. It would have required too much explanation: the fact that my team had spent over a century in the lower leagues, that I was a youth academy graduate of such a club, that I only played for the Reserve Team, and that I retired after fewer than ten first-team appearances. I just couldn't be bothered to explain. By the time I turned thirty-three, there was no need to even try. But l, Eric Reynolds has secured his third Champions League title, bringing his total trophy count across leagues and various competitions to thirteen. I'm rightfully hailed as the greatest manager of our era! I have led the fallen giants Manchester United, Atlético Madrid (who hadn't won a league title in a decade), AC Milan (who had to dismantle their squad due to financial troubles), and now Dortmund to championship glory! But now I'm back in time to do more than that. I'll change the future and write it new with my own hands. And this time I'll not be alone..maybe. ***** This book will be MC pov mainly. But not each time. My each chapter worth 2000-3000+ words!
