Richard Maddox, a once-promising football prodigy, dreamed of becoming a star. But just as his dream was within reach, it was abruptly shattered when he banged his head on the goalpost, fracturing his skull. Forced into early retirement, Richard vanished from the public eye.

People thought Richard Maddox was done for. However, no one expected that during his unconscious state, his spirit detached from his body. He drifted through time, witnessing the world of football from the perspective of a ghost. It was strange, unpleasant, yet exciting. No need for tickets or travel—he could simply fly.

England, Italy, Spain, Germany—the best football countries in Europe—and even the passionate South America, the energetic Africa, and the growing Asia—Richard observed the rise and fall of football giants, all from the sidelines.

However, watching football from the other side was quite different from experiencing it live. He missed the cheering, singing, and chanting with the other fans. No one could hear him now. No one could watch football with him. He was... alone. 

Just as Richard was about to be bored to death, his soul was sucked back, and he realized that only an entire year had passed.

'Interesting,' he thought, laughing. “I could bet, invest in companies that will succeed in the future, and get rich. Bitcoin, I'm coming, baby.”

but who could have guessed that Richard would dive so deep into the world of football—From owning a single share to testing the waters as a scout, trying his hand as an agent, and eventually stepping into the world of coaching, before finally diving into the realm of football club ownership. 

It has truly been a full spectrum of football, the highs and the lows. Join us as we welcome Richard Maddox!

Webnovel couldn't do anything about the error in Chapter 580, but they recommended that I include the misplaced chapter in this chapter. So, I will write Chapter 580 first and then include Chapter 581 in the same update, making it a longer chapter (around 3,000 words).


If you have already read "Welcome to Hell, Guys," you can simply scroll past it. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you very much.


The first team, except for those playing in the Copa América gathered at Trigoria, their bags packed and full of fighting spirit. The training camp, as per Pintus' request and as Mourinho had already mentioned, would be a devilish experience. The goal of regaining their fitness in two weeks had been clearly explained.
