Chapter 792 Martin O'Neill (Second Change, ask for a monthly pass)
After attending Cassano's wedding, Chen Yingxiong went on vacation with Cabrera.

Their vacation was short, especially given Cabrera's situation—she still had to work.So Chen Yingxiong cherishes the time with Cabrera very much.

As a player, Chen Yingxiong still has vacations anyway.

The management of the club is not so easy.

Niang has been busy since the end of the season.

The first thing he needs to be busy is announcing the new head coach.

Last season, many media have been speculating who will be the new head coach of Liverpool.They listed many candidates, and the bookmaker also offered odds.However, the Liverpool club has not announced their answer.

No matter which media or gaming company it is, the first candidate they list is Martin O'Neill, the well-known coach of English football.The candidates for No.2 and No.3 are different. Some people are optimistic about Mourinho, some are optimistic about Villas-Boas, who was dismissed from Chelsea, and some are optimistic about former Manchester City coach Mark Hughes, or former England coach Michaela. Lun.

Obviously everyone is most optimistic about Martin O'Neill, and it makes sense that everyone is unanimously optimistic.Martin Orr, you can be regarded as a well-known and capable head coach in English football. You have a good reputation and a good coaching record in the past.He not only has the experience of coaching small teams such as Norwich and Aston Villa, but also has the successful experience of coaching Celtic, a giant in the Scottish Super League.

So coaching Liverpool is something I can safely do.

Secondly, O'Neill's reputation is not much lower than that of Ferguson, Wenger, Dalglish and others. He was also very successful in the player era, so he has enough authority in the locker room to shock people.

In addition, Martin O'Neill has been at home all the time, and if the club invites him out, he does not need to pay liquidated damages to other clubs.

Counting so many comprehensive factors, Martin O'Neill is indeed the most suitable head coach for Liverpool.

But everyone is just guessing, and no one has confirmed it from other sources.

Now that the season is over, the answer is revealed.Liverpool's new head coach is none other than Martin O'Neill!
"We are very pleased to announce this decision. Martin will become our coach. We believe that under his leadership, Liverpool will be reborn!" At the press conference announcing Martin O'Neill's signing for Liverpool, Liverpool's general manager Ang Lu said so.

Martin O'Neill next to him smiled and nodded slightly.

The two then stood up to shake hands and let the reporters take pictures.Under the flashing lights, the two were smiling, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It looked like the handshake was a match made in heaven.

But in fact, the specific negotiation and signing process is definitely not as easy as this press conference shows.

The Liverpool club did not wait until it was announced that Dalglish was dismissed before going to the head coach, and it would be too late by then.

You must know that "Black Cat" Sunderland was also looking for a head coach at the time, and Martin O'Neill was exactly their goal.

If Dalglish is sure to leave get out of class before contacting Martin O'Neill, I'm afraid the Northern Ireland coach has already been snatched away by Sunderland.

Niang never fought unprepared.When he decided to get rid of Dalglish, he had already started looking for Dalglish's successor.And this search process didn't last long, because the candidates were easy to find and there were not many.As analyzed by the media, there is only one person who best meets Liverpool's requirements, and that is Martin O'Neill.

So in fact, not long after the start of the season, Niang had already contacted Martin O'Neill.

In May 2010, O'Neill resigned angrily because of conflicts with the chairman of Aston Villa over the transfer issue. For the next year, he did not have a job and stayed at home.So Niang has long been eyeing the coach.

He ran to talk to O'Neill, hoping that O'Neill could coach Liverpool.

If the negotiations are conducted according to the requirements of traditional English clubs, there should be no problem with this signing.The club manager said to the head coach: "Come to us and be the manager." As long as the treatment is well negotiated, there is no problem.

But Liverpool is different from other Premier League teams.

An Italian is in charge of this club. Italian clubs and English clubs are completely two different things.

Niang hopes to have the right to decide on the transfer, he hopes to have the transfer power alone, the club's team building policy is up to him, he sells and buys.

But Martin O'Neill firmly disagrees with this approach. As a traditional British head coach and manager, Martin O'Neill is used to things as a team manager. He is the same age as the team, and he talks about everything related to the team. Calculate.

As for the treatment issue, there is nothing to talk about.Niang offered Martin O'Neill a very high price, which would definitely satisfy O'Neill.But if this precondition cannot be negotiated, there will be no chance to show the price part later.

The two sides have been at a stalemate on this issue for a long time. If it weren't for Liverpool being a traditional giant in English football and still attractive to O'Neill, maybe O'Neill would have signed with Sunderland long ago.

In fact, when O'Neill was in Aston Villa, he was not the kind of head coach with all powers, otherwise he would not have fallen out with the chairman of Aston Villa because of the transfer issue.

Before that, he had a good time working with the chairman of Aston Villa.He knows Aston Villa's positioning-this is a mid-range team, so the club will inevitably use the difference in buying and selling players to survive.Today's football is already the era of capital football, and he is not stubborn enough to think that football cannot be tainted by money.

So he had a pretty good time at Aston Villa before.But this time the fallout with Aston Villa chairman Randy Lerner came about because the Americans went too far.Randy Lerner not only does not plan to continue selling people to strengthen his strength in the summer, but also plans to sell the core players of the team.

In fact, Aston Villa also sold their main players before, but selling one in a season can still be within the tolerance of Martin O'Neill. After selling one, he can use his ability to recreate another one.

But this time Randy Lerner went too far. He even planned to sell the team's two main wing players in one go. One was Milner and the other was Ashley Young.This made O'Neill intolerable.For him, the club sells a main player every year, which can also be regarded as a normal practice of letting chickens lay eggs and then selling the eggs.But the current practice has become to kill the chicken and take the eggs, and he can't agree to it anyway.

He resigned in a rage.

Niang analyzed the detailed reasons for Martin O'Neill's resignation, and believed that Martin O'Neill is not the kind of person who must insist on his own power, but he can actually be accommodated.Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured Aston Villa selling one of his main players every year.

That's why Niang went to Martin O'Neill.If O'Neill is the kind of chaste and fierce female head coach, he must get his own power, otherwise he would rather die than obey, and Niang will never find him.

Since we can talk about it, it's easy to handle.

The next thing is nothing more than a process of negotiation and compromise between the two parties. Martin O'Neill hopes to dig out a little more power from Niang, and Niang wants to dig O'Neill at the lowest cost.

In the end, they reached an agreement that Martin O'Neill must first ask about Niang's transfer action. As the head coach, he has the right to make suggestions, and Niang promised to respect the wishes of the head coach as much as possible.In this way, in fact, the main right to transfer is still in the hands of Niang. As compensation, Niang promised to vigorously introduce players to strengthen the strength of the team, and will not sell the main players easily, unless the head coach asks for the sale.

Then in terms of contract treatment, O'Neill was also given a price that he was very satisfied with.

In this way, the two parties signed an agreement, but it has not been made public.

It was not until the end of the season that Liverpool officially announced the news.

This news is not surprising, everyone's previous guesses have already been guessed.

Many people even think that judging from Niang's decision, although he is an Italian Chinese, his understanding of English football is fairly reliable.

Liverpool's choice of Martin O'Neill is the best result.Better than an unrealistic Mourinho, right?In addition, Mark Hughes and McLaren are not as strong as Martin O'Neill.It seems that Liverpool fans can really start to look forward to a stable morale.

During his coaching period at Aston Villa, O'Neill allowed the team to qualify for the European War for three consecutive seasons, keeping a team that was not very strong in the upper mid-range.If you look at Aston Villa without Martin O'Neill, who ranked ninth last season and missed any European competitions, you will know the level of Martin O'Neill.

Martin O'Neill, who learned from Brian Clough, is one of the few people who can succeed in both the player era and the coach era.

Coaching Liverpool is an important opportunity for him. If he can succeed in Liverpool, his reputation will not only be limited to England, but will spread to continental Europe.

Who is not ambitious?Martin O'Neill naturally hopes to become as famous as Ferguson and Wenger.That's why he would rather give up some of the power that originally belonged to him, and also coach Liverpool.

Whether a team needs to rebuild or make changes, the most important person is the head coach.

The head coach is not sure, and the team's pre-season preparation plan cannot be carried out.

After Martin O'Neill signed for Liverpool, Niang could start his own transfer offensive.

Of course, now he has to discuss it with O'Neill.
