My name is Colani

Chapter 129 Find a buyer

Hugo has already been fooled by this old guy once. He also said he would help Hugo find a coach, but it took a long time for Barrias and the others to come. This time Hugo quit, I am waiting for a clever woman to come and cook the pot. Well, you old man is procrastinating. Will you tell me a candidate after a month?

"Mr. Ulivieri, look at it. For a team like ours, we only need to find someone who is a bit reliable. I'm not hiring a famous coach. You don't have to select carefully for me. Just give me a few people." Phone, I'll contact them!" Hugo urged.

"Finding a coach is a prudent matter, don't rush!" Ulivieri advised.

"Can I not be anxious?! Now the team has lost two games in a row. I spent a lot of money in the summer, and then new regulations were introduced. The team is now panicked and urgently needs a head coach!" Hugo was anxious road.

"Okay, don't hang up the phone, let me think about it!" Ulivieri had no choice but to say. After a moment, he remembered a candidate and said to Hugo: "When I was coaching in Modena, the team There is a young man, Walter Mazzarri, who started to develop into a coach after retiring. When I was coaching Naples, he worked on my coaching staff. He has been serving as an assistant coach since then and was hired by Bologna this year. He is the coach of the youth team. But let me tell you the truth, he is a newbie and has never coached a professional team! Are you willing to talk to him?"

"Yes, of course I am willing! I am willing to give him a chance!" Hugo blurted out. Time waits for no one now, and Hugo doesn't want to delay at all.

Ulivieri gave Hugo Walter Mazzarri's phone number. Hugo hung up the phone and turned to Barrias, who was still next to him, and asked, "Have you heard of Walter Mazzarri?!"

"Of course he has heard of it. I was also a member of the coaching staff in Naples!" Barias said.

"What about him?! Can he lead the team to upgrade?!" Hugo was still most concerned about this.

"Gigi, there is no guarantee on this matter. It would be difficult for anyone else to give you such a guarantee!" Barrias said speechlessly, and then commented on Walter Mazzarri.

"He is a very hard-working coach and has great ideas! If you are brave enough, give him a chance as a newcomer. If it is not big, then look for it slowly! Which coach you hire is not a gamble?! "

"Well, that's true! Okay, let's take a bet! I'll go talk to him in person, and he's the one who can make it work. The team needs a coach now!" Hugo gritted his teeth and said.

In the evening, Hugo called Walter Mazzarri and revealed that he wanted to invite him to be the head coach of the team. Mazzarri was very happy. This was his first time as the head coach of a professional team, not an assistant. Coach, he is doing well in the Bologna youth team now, but after all, he still hopes for a higher stage.

"But Mr. Mazzarri, we are very careful in selecting our coaches, so I would like to make an appointment with you and let's have a good talk in person, how about that!"

"No problem, I'm in Bologna. I'm free in the evening!" This is what it should be. It's similar to an interview when you're competing for a job. Unless you're a very familiar coach, you won't have this part.

Mazzarri readily agreed to Hugo's interview request.

Hugo didn't hesitate, and flew to Bologna from Palermo with Giorgio the next day. Giorgio was the general manager. Originally, he should have been contacted for such a matter, but Hugo thought that Giorgio was not as good as I know much more.

Mazzarri had to be responsible for the work of the Bologna youth team during the day, and had no time until evening. In the evening, Hugo invited Mazzarri to dinner at a Chinese restaurant on Via Villamentana. Bologna is not worth mentioning compared with big cities in China, but in Italy can definitely be called a big city, with an urban population of two to three hundred thousand. There are Chinese restaurants here.

Mazzarri arrived a few minutes later than the agreed time. Hugo didn't like people being late, but it was understandable that Italians were naturally undisciplined. Mazzarri told him the reason, and he was stuck in traffic for a while.

Hugo looked at Mazzarri. Mazzarri had medium-length wavy hair and looked very young. He was clean-shaven. He had a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was wearing a white shirt, jeans and sneakers, which showed that he was very young. of youthful vitality.

And Mazzarri was also looking at Hugo and Giorgio. The focus was of course on Hugo. Hugo was very young, his face looked very young, exactly like on TV. His beard was also taken care of quickly, and his chestnut hair was styled. He had to be meticulous, but the younger Hugo was still wearing a formal suit. At this moment, he just handed over his suit to the waiter, wearing leather shoes, trousers, a white shirt and a black tie.

Everything looked very formal, and Mazzarri couldn't help but apologize: "Sorry, I didn't have time to go home today!"

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Mazzarri! Let's talk while eating!" Hugo smiled and didn't care.

Then everyone started chatting while eating. Giorgio introduced Mazzarri about the team and its composition. Mazzarri tried to tell Hugo about his experience.

Hugo waved his hand, "I know your past. It was Mr. Ulivieri who recommended you to me! He also had concerns. He said that you have no experience of coaching a professional team alone. I also know this! I'm not worried about this. , I am also willing to give you a chance, so will you come to our team to coach?”

Agreeing or not is the basic consensus. If they agree, they will continue to discuss the conditions. If they don't agree, they will break up and there is no need to go deeper.

"Of course, I certainly hope to get the opportunity to coach independently this time! But I also have some conditions, and I want to make it clear to you!"

"Tell me!" Hugo smiled. This is also as it should be. A head coach who doesn't talk about conditions must be hungry and desperate. Mazzari is not so panicked that he is hungry and desperate.

"First, you can't interfere in matters within my scope of work!" Mazzari looked at Hugo's face. Trapani is not an unknown person. Mazzari knew about this club that made a big fuss in the first half of the year. He worked overtime last night to collect information and knew that Trapani's previous head coach was the boss in front of him. Considering the recent policies, Mazzari estimated that Hugo was forced to resign as head coach. It is not ruled out that this guy regards himself as a puppet, but actually manipulates the team.

"No problem, I will never interfere with your work!" Hugo immediately expressed his opinion. I wanted to resign anyway, and this time it was a smooth sailing. I was not willing to interfere even if they wanted me to.

"Second, you have to help me establish my authority. Mr. Esposito has just talked about the situation of the team. The team has several veterans, and I am the head coach without any experience in coaching a professional team. I am worried that they will rebel. You need to stand on my side!" Mazzari made the second request.

Good guy, the expert knows whether there is something as soon as he stretches out his hand, and he hasn't done anything yet. Does he know that the veterans in the team are not so easy to deal with? ! Hugo thought to himself.

He misunderstood. Mazzariti's conditions were completely prepared for a rainy day. He was also a player in his early years. He played for small clubs at the beginning. He really didn't have any outstanding achievements or things to show off. Hugo's team has two veterans. Amor played for Barcelona under Cruyff, and Lombardo also played for Juventus, Sampdoria and Lazio, several major teams in Serie A. Last season, he won the Serie A championship with Lazio. With these two great players standing there, can Mazzariti convince the public? ! It's difficult!

But if the boss stands on his side, there will be no problem. If they don't listen, I will punish them and demote them so that they have no ball to play.

"Haha, to be honest, the team has suffered two consecutive defeats and it has a lot to do with the tactical differences within the team. These bastards are not so obedient. Don't worry, this time I will learn from my mistakes and make up my mind. I will deal with them when I go back. When you take office, I will never allow any players to question you!" Hugo promised. Since he stepped down as the head coach, looking at the problem from the perspective of the boss, these bastards seem to really need to be dealt with, and Hugo's domineering attitude has come out again.

He may not understand that this is the difference in dealing with problems in different positions. When he was the head coach before, he was as unconfident as Mazzari and could not compare with those old guys. But when he stepped down as the head coach and returned to the perspective of the boss, he was naturally different. The problem was much simpler. Everything can be decided by money. There is no need to talk about feelings with them. If they don't listen, I will beat them to death until they obey.

I have to say that the head coach is really a pot. No wonder Hugo felt uncomfortable when he was on his back, and he felt relieved when he took it off.

"That's great! My third condition is whether I can make the decision on the signings. I hope to bring in some players I need!" Mazzari continued.

"Of course, we will listen to your opinions, but the club has its own development direction. We can't ignore our long-term goals just because you want to achieve results, right! At present, we are on the road of youth. I hope you can give more opportunities to young people!" Hugo said, which means that you can't make the decision.

Many times, the contradiction between the team and the coach also arises here. The coach is "eager for quick success and instant benefits", while the club is "long-term development". It is best for both parties to make it clear at this time, so as to avoid Mazzari's demands for this and that, which is really difficult to deal with.

Mazzari nodded, agreeing with Hugo's words. It is impossible for him to get the transfer right with his current qualifications. Besides, the coach in Italy is not the same as that in England. In England, it is called a manager, while here it is called a coach. The difference is very big.
