Today’s information

[Mohammed bin Salman is looking around the 3. Riga (Germany) and Segunda Division B (Spain) teams.]

—

At the words of King Mohammed bin Salman, Jaejin laughed.

It was because he had, to some extent, fit his expectations.

A football director who has risen one level from the former assistant football director.

‘It’s not bad. But he didn’t like something.’

If you were the football director of a club like Newcastle, it was definitely an attractive offer and a good job was obvious.

He is receiving the king’s attention, and it is because he is in a position where he can act as a buffer by conveying the position of the club to the team from a football perspective and, conversely, the position of the team to the board.

‘But he’s not a technical director who can exert great power in recruiting.’

There was definitely interest.

It was because he had an idea of what to do.

But instead of answering right away, Jaejin asked the king a new question.

“Is the work of putting football teams together into football groups like Manchester City going well?”

The king answered Jaejin’s question with an interesting expression on his face.

“It’s not easy. What are his rules? However, the acquisition of the club is well prepared.”

Article 5 of UEFA’s Champions League regulations was holding the king’s back.

Rule 5 was a rule prohibiting teams of the same owner or company from competing in the same competition when two or more clubs each had a majority or could influence a specific shareholder’s voting power.

Therefore, City Football Group had teams in the United States, Australia, Japan, and China, except for Manchester City, and in the so-called European leagues, they only had teams in Girona, the Spanish second division, as a satellite club.

And it was something that Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig had to go through when they decided to advance to the Champions League in the 2020s.

“I’m thinking of several ways. Whether to form a federation or do it like the Red Bull case, or whether to set up an independent company and acquire it.”

Jaejin was going to offer more than the king had suggested to him.

It was simply because he thought his skills were too precious to be a football director, a technical director after being promoted because he liked it.

‘If that’s the case, it might be better for me to focus on my agent job now.’

And most importantly, he thought he could achieve his dream even if he wasn’t here.

It just takes a little more time and effort.

“How much do you think the owner of the club thinks my limit is?”

“Your limits?”

“Yeah. You said that it seems like you have a bigger bowl than the one you saw before. If that’s the case, would this be the end of the bowl you’re thinking of now? Or is it a bigger bowl?”

At Jaejin’s question, the king tapped the armrest and fell into thought.

‘It’s Song Jae-jin’s limit.’

I honestly didn’t have a clue. It was the first time I thought that he was the talent needed for Newcastle.

However, as I never expected that it would grow this much in such a short period of time from the first rejection until now, I had no idea how big it would be.

When the king could not answer easily, Jaejin smiled and said.

“To be honest, I do not have expectations easily. What more can I do than this? by the way.”

Jaejin was sure of one thing.

“At least we know it doesn’t end here.”

“Honestly, it’s hard to deny. So what are you trying to say? Does that mean that a football director is not enough?”

Jaejin laughed at the king’s words and nodded her head.

“Yeah. If you give me a place where I can show off, I’ll give it my all ”

It was kind of a gamble.

Give me a stage where I can test my limits, I’ll bet my everything. If you fail, I’ll do whatever you want.

“Your everything?”

“Yeah. I don’t think the owner will buy a first division club like Newcastle no matter what club he buys. It’s expensive, and if it’s the acquisition cost, it’s better to buy a 2nd or 3rd division team and invest a small amount consistently.”

“right.”

“Probably the German or Spanish side, I think.”

As Jaejin said, Mohamed bin Salman had no intention of taking over the first division team except for Newcastle, who would become the vanguard.

He also had no intention of evading UEFA regulations like City Football and acquiring smaller clubs in other regions.

‘Hmm. So how about leaving the team to it? I was thinking of running it on a trial basis.’

And soon Mohammed’s thoughts returned to the club that is currently pursuing an acquisition.

‘Even before the acquisition, I think it will be completed in at least a few years. I think that period of time would be enough to get the necessary certifications.’

It was a team in the 3rd division, and it was a team that had positive talks about bringing the stakes.

“Good. Think positively about what you are saying.”

Jaejin clenched his fists in response to Mohammed’s positive answer.

“Instead, there should be a counter-reward. Not right now, but at some point, if I give you that permission and you fail, will you be able to work in the position I want?”

“Of course. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. I am not going to fail.”

At Jaejin’s answer, Mohammed burst into a sincere smile.

“haha. That’s expected. If so, I’ll give you a few years of preparation. In the meantime, let’s get a leadership license. You can also supervise, so don’t you need a leadership license?”

At the words of the owner, Jaejin suddenly remembered the certificate he had obtained a long time ago.

‘Maybe if you are AFC Class C right now, you can challenge for the UEFA Class B coach certification right now?’

And then he spoke as if he had thought of something.

“By the way, what do you plan to do with JJ management?”

This was Jaejin’s biggest problem.

Because if you want to keep your promise to King Mohammed, you won’t be able to pay attention to management properly.

“As long as the interests are intertwined, I plan to nurture and stabilize the management as much as possible, and then, ostensibly, fall out of the position of the representative. They are all the players and staff who believed in me and came, but I have to take responsibility until the end. And although the management belongs to me, the position the owner will entrust to me is a kind of contract job.”

“haha. That’s right. There has to be that kind of greed and distribution. Then, in a few years, I’ll send you a decent professional manager in the near future on condition that you take on my offer. I’ll take good care of the management while you don’t care.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Jaejin, who came out after talking with the king, relaxed and exhaled heavily.

In fact, it was because it was a proposal thrown like a gambler with a high probability of failure for Jaejin.

‘I’m glad it worked out. For the next few years, I’ll have to say I’m dead and work.’

It was not that there were no precedents like Jaejin.

In the past, in the NBA, agent Ahn Thelm once served as vice-president of the Detroit Pistons, and agent Bob Myers also served as vice-president of the Golden State Warriors.

In MLB, Jeff Murad, who was considered one of the top two super agents along with Scott Boras, took over as president of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Not all of them were successful, but Jaejin was confident that he would not fail at least.

‘In addition to that, the amount of points received these days is not the same as in the past.’

Jaejin thought that the amount of points received as an agent continued was not the same as it used to be.

It was as if he was trying to persuade him to accept King Mohammed’s proposal as the amount of incoming was reduced at this point.

‘Because I was thinking of accepting it even if it wasn’t a point.’

Before receiving an offer from King Mohammed, Jaejin suddenly remembered a dream from his childhood.

A variety of sports-related experiences.

It was a dream I had forgotten because it was so long ago.

However, with the help of the system, he came to Europe and experienced as an agent and coach, so he vaguely thought that he could achieve his dream.

And since I gave up on my dream once because of an injury in the past, I wanted to hold on to my dream this time around.

“what?”

Seo Eun-sang, who returned to London and greeted Jae-jin who returned to the management office, asked Jae-jin’s words as if it were ridiculous.

“no. Didn’t you go to the Newcastle Championship Parade?”

They say that they come to participate in the championship parade and have to develop management for several years and take on the work of the club contracted with King Mohammed.

“Wow, really? You mean you made such a contract with King Mohammed?”

Seo Eun-sang’s emotions were closer to surprise than angry.

Who is Mohammed bin Salman? He is the leader of Aramco Castle and the king of a country. It was because of the fact that such a person entrusted the work to Jaejin.

“What about management?”

“The owner of the club decided to send a professional manager. Nothing will change. Externally, I will step down from the position of president and take over the team. The position of the director is the same.”

“Then it’s important how much you develop and stabilize the agency before you leave.”

“Probably so.”

Income was the most important factor in stabilizing management.

After all, because management is a business between people.

“Even if I work for a club, I will continue to do light reporting. and it doesn’t take that long. It will be an advantage for players who join JJ Management.”

Eunsang nodded at Jaejin’s words. It was because the manpower recruitment plan was finished.

“Read it.”

“Well. It’s not just management, it’s a really big company now.”

Jae-jin, who read the plan given by Eun-sang Seo, returned the plan as if it was okay.

“Please choose me as a good person. And I will participate in the interview. I have some human eyes, right?”

At Jae-jin’s words, Seo Eun-sang looked at Jae-jin with the eyes that it should be the case.

“Anyway, I’m going to be busy for a while, so please take care of me.”

“Give me generous incentives. You have to work hard to feed your family in London.”

“That’s natural.”

And after the meeting with Seo Eun-sang, Jae-jin recruited the whole meeting.

After the season was over and before the full-fledged management work began, there were a few announcements and things to do, and most importantly, it was because I was planning to hold a JJ management party.

After he came to Europe, he received help from many people and signed many contracts, but it was because he never had a place to gather together.

“I’m thinking of throwing a club party. Well, it’s not grandiose, it’s small, but the idea is to familiarize yourself with the face.

“It’s fine. It’s because the entire management team never got together.”

“Then I think at least 20 or 30 people will come. Let’s start by making reservations in advance.”

Jaejin, who was listening to opinions coming out of Junggu Heating, raised his hand and pointed to the first office worker selected.

“Can Catherine handle this?”

“Yeah! Trust me!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“If possible, I would like to do it after recruiting manpower. The new recruits will also have to get to know the players and help build the company’s status.”

“That’s fine. Then it will be about a month later. And I’m thinking of holding a soccer camp this off-season.”

“Is that the camp we talked about last time?”

Jaejin nodded at James Hooper’s words.

“Yeah, I’ll have to talk to WSG and VeX, but personally I’m thinking of opening it up in the UK and Germany. The period is undecided.”

It was possible because there was nothing related to player contracts or transfers.

“Then I will write a plan and hand it over to you in time.”

“And there will be a reorganization of the organization as we recruit new personnel this time. Director Seo Eun-sang will tell you the details.”

Seo Eun-sang talked about the reorganization plan approved by Jae-jin, and the management personnel were quite excited at the thought that the plan would be bigger than expected and that a large number of people would be recruited.

“This off-season is going to be busy in some way, so please take care of it.”

“It’s better than no work.”

Jaejin nodded his head as if the other employees were satisfied with his greeting.

Anyway, it’s good that the company is growing, and it’s better to have a job even if it’s a little difficult than not having a job.

Of course, the idea came from an appropriate reward.

Jaejin stopped by the agent and headed straight to Millwall where Mario was.

“Yo, Bro!”

“Is it okay if I don’t go back to Italy even though it’s a break?”

Mario did not return to Italy, even on a break, but remained in Millwall.

“Go and do something. Let’s do some more training here.”

And he stayed and burned his will for the first part stage.
