My name is Colani

Chapter 371 Want to change the coach

While the Italian media was focusing on Zeman's dismissal, the team's owner Hugo disappeared again. To be precise, he disappeared from the football world. He was still in Italy, but he was busy with his business and was unwilling to Tell me a little more about Trapani.

"I won't sell the team!" This is what Hugo said frequently during this period. "I don't talk about the team and I won't put pressure on anyone!"

Hugo thought about it for a long time. He wanted to change coaches, but he didn't tell anyone that changing coaches at this stage was not a good decision. He planned to wait and wait for next season. In view of Trapani's poor performance in the Champions League, Hugo There is a saying in the football world that is becoming more and more superstitious. Zeman cannot lead a team to play in European leagues. Hugo feels that a coaching change is necessary for the European leagues.

Hugo doesn't care about anything. He is busy with business. In fact, he is busy with the listing of the video website. The time has come to go public. When the right stage next year, Hugo will sell the website as a whole. This is His plan, he wants to start the construction of the new stadium, which is the cornerstone of Trapani's future, is about to come online.

In November, Trapani held a shareholders' meeting. Alejandro Morek, who had been promoted to a millionaire, received the support of Hugo and Victor and was elected as the new chairman of Trapani. Morek officially Take office.

This signal made many media people think that Hugo would sell the team. This was the background of Hugo's words in the interview.

After Morek took office, Hugo went to watch games less and more to take care of his own business. He seemed not to trust Hugo, the new CEO of the investment company.

In December, Trapani regained its feeling in the league after Hugo gave him a kill order. The team's results were quite good, but in the Champions League, especially in the Champions League. Rapani continued his poor form. He clearly had the upper hand against Werder Bremen but could not score. He lost this crucial game against Anderlecht and Trapani.

After six rounds of the group stage, Trapani only got three draws, lost to every opponent in the same group and drew with every opponent, and only got three points. Anderlecht relied on its victory over Trapani. A victory for Pani qualified for the knockout rounds of the Europa League, and Trapani had no choice but to bid farewell to the European stage.

Trapani is the worst Italian team in the Champions League, and no Italian team has been worse than them.

The voices criticizing Trapani are loud, and so are the voices criticizing Zeman.

Zeman also felt very guilty. He originally hoped to lead the team to achieve some results, but the reality was cruel and he failed to achieve his goals.

At the end of the last group match, Zeman took all the responsibility for the team's elimination on his own shoulders, and he blocked all criticism from the players.

But even this is not enough, the media is criticizing him, and under the guidance of the media, the fans are gradually making some voices against him. Even though Hugo said it will be difficult for us in the new season, the fans have great expectations. Ze Mann failed to meet everyone's expectations, so it was not surprising that he was dismissed.

The media also began to rumor that Trapani was in contact with other coaches. Trapani general manager Giorgio refuted the rumors and said: "Zeman's position is very stable. We are not the kind of team that likes to change coaches at will! A stable coach can Bringing stable results, you see we are third in the league, there is no reason to fire Zeman!”

Trapani Chairman Morek also said that we are very close to Mr. Zeman and we will accept this result and will not fire him.

No matter how Trapani refuted the rumors, one thing gave the media a handle. The paparazzi photographed Hugo and Monaco coach Didier Deschamps eating together, which made people think a lot.

"Did you really go to meet Deschamps?!" Trapani chairman Morek felt that there was a high probability that after Trapani was eliminated from the Champions League, Hugo said a topic to his cousin: "Ze Man is unlucky and has no chance of winning the European war!"

"Ah, it's true! I did have dinner with Deschamps! Let me tell you, he is a great guy, he did a great job with Monaco last season, didn't he?! Juventus also liked him "I'm interested, but his old club is too conservative and doesn't like his style. I think his style suits us very well, and I want to invite him!" Hugo replied!

“But what about Zeman?!”

"Zeman was a mistake, I shouldn't have let him come back. Why didn't we choose Prandelli, why didn't we choose Deschamps?! What a mistake!" Hugo regretted his original decision. In the end, he was clearly out of the game. I don’t care about Hugo and can’t help complaining about Zeman. If it were me, I wouldn’t be so bad, right? !

"Ahem, I have to remind you that he still has more than two years of contract, and the team is currently ranked third in Serie A. Apart from being a little worse in the Champions League, he still performed well in the league. I think he will definitely be able to do it next year. Do better." Morek reminded Hugo that the termination fee is not low.

"I will let him stay until the end of the season. I want a coach who can do more than just attack. Deschamps is a good choice!" Hugo really took a fancy to Deschamps.

After giving Zeman time to live, Hugo sat back and watched the situation. What happened was that Zeman tied with Valencia. From that day on, he decided to replace Zeman. In the end, he did not even qualify for the Europa League knockout rounds. Getting it strengthened his determination, but he really didn't want to change coaches midway. The main thing was who to look for to fill the gap? !

He remembered Deschamps, whom the reporters had mentioned before, so he really went to Monaco and invited Deschamps to talk. It was a private meeting. Only Hugo, Lu Fan, Deschamps and his agent were there. Hugo and Deschamps talked a lot. Hugo appreciated some of Deschamps's views. He felt that Deschamps was not the kind of offensive maniac, unlike Zeman who was top-heavy and pursued attack blindly.

In view of Deschamps' good performance in the Champions League, Hugo felt that Deschamps' arrival might be of great benefit to Trapani's performance in the European war.

So Hugo expressed his intention at that time and offered Deschamps a big bargaining chip. He was willing to offer Deschamps a two-year contract with an annual salary of 3 million after tax.

However, Deschamps said that he needed time to consider. First, Trapani was not well-known. Their performance in the European war this season was not only a laughing stock in Italy, but also many European media mocked Trapani's performance. They couldn't even deal with Anderlecht, which was really embarrassing. Moreover, Trapani had no foundation. Deschamps still hoped that he could coach in a big club, but Trapani was obviously not.

Second, Hugo made it clear that we are not rich, and you may not get more than 100 million transfer support when you come. Of course, Hugo also said that we have many young people and the future of the team is promising.

Hugo just didn't expect the burden of being a celebrity. He was targeted wherever he went. Maybe only going to China would be a little better.

In the face of Morek's inquiry, Hugo simply spoke frankly. People outside didn't know that Hugo was no longer the chairman, but the power of the club was still his. He didn't become the chairman just because he didn't have much time to spend on the team.

"I will talk to Zeman! I think he can understand it!" Hugo said.

"You talk to him now?!"

"No, no, I plan to talk to him at the end of the season." Who knows if the old man will quit now? If he resigns in anger, well, it's over, who can I find? ! Is it possible to give up the advantage established in the first half? This is impossible.

The despicable Hugo felt that he had deceived Zeman. In a subsequent interview, he finally talked about Deschamps. We just had a meal. It was a chance encounter. It was really a chance encounter. I have no intention of firing Mr. Zeman. He is doing a good job, isn't he? !
