The Era of Emerald

"Claudio, what do you mean?" Zhuang Mingge asked a little puzzled, looking at a letter placed in front of his desk.

"Boss, I plan to resign as the head coach of Fiorentina." Ranieri sat on the sofa, still with his usual cautious look, and said, "In the past three years in Fiorentina, I have won enough honors. It's time for a change of scenery."

"Why? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the new contract offered by the club?" After the Champions League final, Zhuang Mingge signaled Antonioni to start the contract renewal negotiations with Ranieri. Tinker directly entered the ranks of the famous Italian coaches, so in Ranieri's contract renewal negotiations, Antonioni and the others offered very generous terms for contract renewal.

The contract period is three years, the basic salary is 300 million US dollars, and each champion has a different amount of rewards. This kind of treatment is almost unique in the world.

"No, I am very grateful to the club for offering me such a lucrative contract. I have lived in the city of Florence for three years and witnessed the team step by step from the second division to the top of Europe. This Fiorentina team became the first team in Italian football history to win the treble during my time in charge, and I will never forget that."

When Ranieri said this, the topic changed.

"However, I still have self-knowledge. The reason why Fiorentina can win the treble this season is more because of the weakness of the team's competitors on all fronts. The Milan duo and Parma are currently in difficult reconstruction. In the early stage, the two teams in Rome had obvious shortcomings. Sampdoria self-destructed the Great Wall, and Juventus was also intercepted by the boss. The champion... I have achieved enough honors in Fiorentina in the past few years. After winning the triple crown this season, I don't think I have the ability to continue to lead this Fiorentina team."

Zhuang Mingge finally understood the meaning of Ranieri's words. It turned out that the tinkerer chose to resign because Fiorentina's performance this season was too good, and his own reputation had reached a peak.However, when the water is full, the moon is full and the moon is full, and there is a loss. Although there is no such saying abroad, it does not prevent Ranieri from hearing words similar to it.

Fans are forgetful, and they'll even attack anyone they've ever loved madly for a period of bad play.It is precisely because of this that Ranieri is worried that once Fiorentina's record fluctuates for some reason next season, the "forgetful" fans will stab him in the back. Obviously, Ranieri is not willing to end in this way. accepted.

After all, the competition in the football coaching industry is also very fierce. There will often be a well-known coach who fades out of people's sight because of a poor record in a season. Coach) and the Italian coach Vicini in the 1982 World Cup, they both smashed their own signs because they did not retire in time, and thus retired from the coaching world.

It’s different when changing a team to coach. As long as Ranieri’s record is justified next, the fans will look at him with a relatively tolerant attitude, thinking that he is still very capable. It’s just that he didn’t win the championship. Because I'm still getting used to the new environment...

Depend on!It is not easy to take risks when you see a good deal, and it is indeed a choice that a person with a personality like Ranieri would make!Zhuang Minge slandered, but still actively tried to persuade the other party to stay. After all, with several generals leaving the team one after another, it is best to keep the position of the head coach stable.

Although Zhuang Mingge made a request to stay, Ranieri, who made up his mind, still insisted on leaving. Seeing Ranieri's attitude, Zhuang Mingge had no choice but to agree to terminate the contract peacefully with Tinker, in order to reward Ranieri for his few days in Florence. With years of conscientious work attitude and excellent performance in leading the team, Zhuang Mingge did not charge a penny of liquidated damages.

However, since Ranieri chose to leave voluntarily, Zhuang Mingge's first task has changed from team signings to finding a new head coach for Fiorentina. For this, Zhuang Mingge already has his own plans in mind.

The next day, when Ranieri officially held a press conference to announce that he would not continue to coach Fiorentina next season, the brains of the fans who were still immersed in Fiorentina's achievement of the Treble Crown suddenly fell into chaos.

At the same time, the Fiorentina club also released official news, saying that the former team coach Claudio Ranieri had recently negotiated with the club's top management, and the two sides decided to break up amicably. Great contribution made...

What type of situation is this?All Fiorentina fans are full of doubts in their hearts at this time. Obviously, the team has just won the Triple Crown. It is a great time to show off their ambitions and build a football dynasty belonging to Fiorentina. How come the season has just ended, and there are rumors of Kripa one after another. Going, Tacchinardi going, Roberto Baggio going?

And now, even the team coach Ranieri has announced his departure!

The successive blows made the Fiorentina fans a little dizzy. At the same time, they were dissatisfied with the club's inaction in the transfer market: it was fine without strong signings, but let go of several main players and the team one after another. The head coach, what kind of trouble is this? !

As a result, Fiorentina fans who were dissatisfied with the club's slow signings gathered outside the Fiorentina headquarters building the day after Ranieri announced his resignation, holding up various banners and slogans, demanding an explanation from the club's top management.

And this, less than half a month has passed since Florence won the European Champions Cup at the Olympic Stadium.

Fiorentina's rival, Juventus' mouthpiece "Turin Sports News" gloated at the joke, thinking that Viola's players and club executives had lost their desire for honor after the team won the Triple Crown. Falling from the altar and falling apart is only a matter of time.

However, as the actual controller of Fiorentina and the chairman of the club, Zhuang Mingge does not have such a leisurely and elegant explanation for what to do with fans and the media. At this time, he is in a villa on the outskirts of Milan, trying to persuade a Chinese young man.

"Coach Fabio, I sincerely invite you to coach Fiorentina. I believe that under your leadership, Fiorentina will achieve greater glory!"
