Dear All,
I am writing to you in order to announce my departure from this Country.
This will be my last opportunity to correspond with you for sometime.
Boxes are packed and I'm ready to leave. I would have let you know sooner,
but circumstances dictated that this was not possible.
An exciting new job opportunity was offered to me this week and I needed to
make a quick decision in order to secure this new position.
I have decided to go and manage a football team ... I realise that this may
come as a shock, but I have always secretly harboured such a desire and I
could not turn down this once in a lifetime opportunity to fulfil my
personal dream.
The team is based in northern Brazil. This is a very poor and remote area
of
the country with the nearest city being some 200km away. Communications are
primitive by western standards, the infra-structure antiquated and living
standards basic. On top of this, the area suffers from torrential
rainstorms. Despite all this I am looking forward to the challenges ahead.
One of the main aspects of the job is to stay in close contact with the
team, day and 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 and intense bonds that this will
hopefully
create. Both the players and myself appreciate that we must be prepared to
give as well as receive.
There is no postal service, telephone network or internet facilities so
please do not waste your time attempting to contact me ... It will be just
me and the team, 24/7. Wish me luck!!!!
For those interested I have attached a team photo.
Thank you for everything,
Regards
