The chronicle of a Devil

Epilogue

Hi. I'm Hejner Bálint. I'm hungarian, I'm 47 and this is my story how I become a great manager of a rising club. But Let's start from the begining.

I always loved English football especially Manchester United, ya' know, great history, but a falling team. After university, by a big choice, I started playing football at my home town club: Kapuvári Sportegyesület as a left-mid. We played non-league football for all of my carrer, but I enjoyed it. I started it at 23, and I became captain at 27. I retired at 34 and I flew out to England to see my loved red devils. At the time, the United board just sacked Jose Mourinho, and Ed Woodward has just pulled something new. He decided to make a competition between the biggest Man United fans, and the winner will be the manager. I just thought, what can I lose; so I partcipated.

We had one week to work out a good tactic for the upcoming season, a very motivational speech for the players and a complete transfer philosophy. Everything under one week...

This was my most stressful week of my life. There were over 10.000 partcipants and for me, it was a real torture. I made a Gegenpress based tactic with my favourite 4-2-3-1 formation, I made a transfer policy about signing a lot of youngsters or middle aged footballers, and get rid of the old players in the squad, like Antonio Valencia, and I made a motivational speech, with my journey and my feelings in it.

They promised one week for the conclussion, and they didn't broke it. I gave my "package" up at Sunday, at the last day of course, and the good news has came at next Sunday, that thanks to some incredible miracle, I was "Ed Woodward's Choosen One".

So, I was appointed at the 1st of July, 2018 as the new Manchester United manager. I have to say my secret dream has just came through into reality. Managing great players like Rashford, Martial and even Paul Pogba just always made up my mind.

Let's see how I started my job...
