Hey all! Considering that there are no candidates for Misr's NT at this time(or at least none that have made a speech) I figured I would throw my hat in the ring. I used to play this game for a long time, until I decided to take a timeout. In season 18 I returned with a new team and now I'm back on my way to the top. But that's enough about me. What can I do for Misr?

My goals are:

- Repeat as African champions.
- Try to create a more active community.
- Create a pipeline between the U21 and National team, because a few of the NT players are getting old.
- Continuing off #3, trying to persuade managers to train young Nigerian prospects that will eventually be able to replace the older players.

I hope, that I was able to persuade you of my campaign, so that you will give me your vote ;)

Thanks for spending the time to read this! I will answer any questions you have in the debate thread.

Dear voters,

most of you know me, but for those who don't - I am Tarikz, the manager from Bosnia who is currently a manager of this country. I consider my previous term very successful, the team has really huge potential and these are some of the reasons for deciding to run once more.
When I took this team over, we were placed at the 45th position in the world rankings. Today, our team holds #10 in the World ranking and this might be the best evidence of this team's progress.
I wrote in my candidacy last time that I would collaborate with U21 managers and prepare high-potential players for entering the NT. Most of such players are in the squad today. I also promised to bring some fresh forces in and to replace the oldest players in the squad. Today, our NT is among the youngest teams in the BB world. My last promise was the winning of the AC, which I think the team managed to do successfully. Luckily, our team still looks like the strongest in Africa but we mustn't underestimate other teams. Anyway, I consider this team's highest success to be the performance at the recently held WC - where we shocked the world and achieved huge victories against much more numerous and stronger rivals.
These achievements wouldn't be possible without this community, because this is the place where the most of the players are held and trained. This is very positive, especially in such a small community.
Anyway, I would like to introduce you to my goals - they might sound familiar to you :

1. Winning the African Championship is something that is always expected from Egypt, no matter how strong other rivals are. I think that we can pull it off.
2. Repeating the success from the previous WC, it means reaching the second round. This really depends on the draw and the names of the rivals but a bit of luck can bring it to us again.
3. Continuing good collaboration with U21 manager/s.
4. Writing of overviews and summaries to animate the community.

I think that this is it for now. If you have any questions on my plans, please ask me and I will be happy to answer.

Best regards

Hello Egyptian community,

My name is Thanos and I am one of the two Greek GMs. I have been playing BuzzerBeater since season 10 and I am still addicted to this game. I am online for many hours everyday and I spend much time for my team and my responsibilities as a GM. However, I have enough free time to deal with a national team and consequently I decided to be a candidate for the elections of NT of Misr. I am currently looking for a new challenge and I regard this election as a perfect opportunity.

I've been the NT coach of South Africa for 4 seasons (seasons 13-17). So, I believe that I have the essential experience to work in the Egyptian National Team. I find it very interesting that the NT of Misr is the current African champion and I am sure that we will preserve this title and win again the African trophy. What is more, another goal would be to create a much more competitive team for the World Championship that will take place in season 24.

I'm here for you and I will be glad to answer in every question you might have.
I know that it is difficult for you to be convinced by a guy like me that you hear from for a first time, but I hope you will support me. If I am elected for NT coach, I promise to do everything, aiming to make a stronger and much more competitive Egyptian team.

Thanks for your patience for reading my speech. If you want to vote for me, vote for GM-thanos!!!!

Best wishes from Greece!!!

P.S. Good luck to all candidates!!!
