Brezedina, Mordvania - Florinthian manager James Trawley has signed a new contract with Mordvanian club NK Brezedina. Both sides agreed to sign a two-year contract extension until 1589.

Trawley signed for NK Brezedina on late Alvan, after coach Joachym Patek was sacked after game 20 of the Mordvanian Premier League. Patek, who had signed for NK Brezedina earlier the previous Summer after 9 seasons as ND Seznica manager, was fired after only achieving 44 points of 60, third place in the classification but 19 points behid the eventual champion FK Mazenskai.

Trawley replaced Patek, in the first season in Mordvania ever for the Florinthian manager. He improved consistently the results of the team, obtaining 35 points of 42 in his 14 matches as NK Brezedina manager. However, he was criticized by both Brezedina fans and Mordvanian media for its direct and poor style.

He was able to qualify NK Brezedina to the final of the Republican Cup, an annual knockout football competition in Mordvania, second most important football trophy in Mordvania after the Mordvanian Premier League. NK Brezedina, which had previously won it the previous two seasons, face FK Mazenskai which had just won the Mordvanian Premier League barely two weeks before. NK Brezedina defeated FK Mazenskai 2-1, becoming the first club to win the Republican Cup three times in a row.

NK Brezedina, considered one of the top football clubs in Mordvania along NK Slovograd and Slovograd 1566, has faced disappoinment after disappointment in recent years in the domestic league, which won for last time in the 1579-1580 season.

NK Brezedina is expected to invest considerably in the next season. It is rumoured that the club may sign Mordvanian striker Zoran Smolar and Khokharsan central defender Adegoke Akara, who became one of the key players of Mordvanian Premier League champions FK Mazenskai in the last season.
