Chapter 798 Who Should I Choose?

When Abramovich received the news, Yang Huan was no longer in Hamburg.

He only stayed in Hamburg for one day before heading south to Monaco without stopping.

Flying to Milan and Hamburg is because he temporarily changed his itinerary. Otherwise, according to his original plan, he should fly directly from Barcelona to Monaco, which is convenient and convenient.

But now, because Abramovich suddenly came out and stepped in, he had to make a big circle.

What made him feel even more depressing was that, after a detour, he arrived in Monaco, but received another piece of unpleasant news, that is, Monaco's head coach Martino resigned!
What a big business and a lot of trouble!
Martino coached Monaco for the past two seasons. First, he led the team to upgrade from Ligue [-]. Then last season, as a newly promoted team, he won the runner-up in the league and almost won the championship.

You know, the opponent is the rich and powerful Paris Saint-Germain, and Monaco is just a group of youth troops. If Martino can have such an outstanding performance, it is already quite outstanding.

But precisely because of this, the Monaco players were targeted.

It's okay to poach other players' players, but there are still people who just like to poach other people's coaches!
What made Yang Huan even more dumbfounded was that it was none other than his number one servant, Sun Yue, who came to poach the corner!
Tell me, how can Yang Huan fix this?
There is simply an urge to let Long Wu go berserk and throw this bastard from the hotel upstairs into Port Hercules!
Seeing Yang Huan's knife-like eyes, Sun Yue, who is good at perceiving words and expressions, of course knew, he could only laugh bitterly and said: "Master Huan, I don't want to, but who knows, it's so good, so many handsome men don't want it, why did the Argentine Football Association choose Martino?"

"Hey, boy, is it reasonable?" Yang Huan gave Sun Yue a vicious look.

The kid immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

He knows Master Huan too well, it's best not to speak at this time.

"What did Martino say?" Yang Huan looked at Jean-Luc Bussin.

Bissin is the technical director of Monaco and is responsible for coordinating sports affairs.

"I've talked to him, and it can be seen that he is quite moved. After all, this is a rare opportunity!"

Yang Huan nodded, and his mind began to turn.

The cause of the whole thing is that the current Argentine coach Savilla said that he was a little powerless, so he hoped to leave after the World Cup, and the Argentine Football Association saw that Savilla had decided to go, so he could only agree.

As a result, the Argentine Football Association began to select coaches, and privately contacted famous coaches including Pellegrini, Simeone, and Pekerman, hoping that they could take over the Argentine national team after the World Cup.

But these coaches have little interest in Argentina's coaching position.

Under such circumstances, the Argentine Football Association took a fancy to Martino, who coached very well in Monaco, and the two sides had initial contact.

Just at this time, Miracle Media and the Argentine Football Association were negotiating a very important cooperation project, so the Argentine Football Association hoped that Sun Yue would come forward and let Monaco let Martino go.

"Master Huan, in fact, they are quite righteous!" Sun Yue couldn't help but defend himself.

"It's just entered June, and they revealed the news to us in advance, and we can prepare and respond more calmly. If we wait until the end of the World Cup, the preparations for the new season will have already begun. We must be caught off guard, and it will inevitably affect the new season's games!"

When Yang Huan heard this, his eyes widened again, "Hey, you boy, who are you helping? Others came to poach my corner, but you help them talk instead, you eat inside and outside!"

Sun Yue's face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd again, full of grievances, as if he was complaining with blood and tears.

My Young Master Huan, it was you who said a few words and gave me a project to cooperate with the Argentine Football Association.

Tell me, if someone asks me to do something, can I not agree?

But now it’s all right, I agreed to others, but your old man said that I can’t live without me!

Yang Huan looked at Sun Yue's expression and wanted to laugh for no reason.

In fact, he also knew that Sun Yue was right.

At least the Argentine Football Association's willingness to notify in advance has already seemed quite righteous.

If not, in July and August, Martino suddenly resigned, and Monaco's new season would be over.

Moreover, if Yang Huan guessed correctly, Martino should have asked the Argentine Football Association to notify him in advance.

Thinking about it carefully, Martino has indeed done a good job in Monaco for the past two years.

Not only good grades, but also a solid foundation for Monaco. At least now Monaco's entire tactical system and style have taken shape.

If you want to find a new coach, it is best to continue to move forward in accordance with this line of thinking.

"Jean, what do you think?" Yang Huan looked at Bi Xin.

As Monaco's technical director, Jean-Luc Bissin has apparently been thinking about it too.

"Master Huan, I think the new head coach must consider carefully." Jean-Luc Bissin said very maturely.

"Martino has laid a solid foundation for us. The new coach must be able to continue to lead the team to improve on this basis, instead of going back. Therefore, in European football, there are not many head coaches who meet this requirement."

Yang Huan nodded, he felt that Bi Xin's words made sense and hit the point.

Why do you say that?
It's not that Yang Huan blacked Chelsea, but that Chelsea is indeed a good example.

During Mourinho's first term at Chelsea, it can be said that he was full of glory, but Abramovich won Mourinho. If Yang Huan guessed correctly, there were mainly two considerations.

One is that Mourinho's style of play is not good-looking. Although you have achieved results, the problem is that the boss thinks you are very capable when you achieve results for the first time, but the second and third times, if you continue to achieve results, the boss's requirements will be higher.

The beautiful offensive football that Abramovich wants and a breakthrough in the Champions League are what Mourinho can't give.

There is also Shevchenko, which is a banner player introduced by Abramovich himself, but Mourinho not only does not use it well, but even does not want to use it at all, which directly caused Shevchenko, who should have been the gold film on Abramovich's face, to become a slap in the face of the Russians.

Just imagine, will the boss be happy?

The current football head coach, to put it bluntly, is completely an extension of the boss' will.

All the head coaches who make the boss unhappy, all have no good results.

Mourinho's dismissal should not be surprising, and Chelsea's direction was right at the time, that is, the mainlandization reform.

It should be said that from Grant to Scolari to Hiddink, Abramovich has completely figured out the direction of the team, so he invited the famous European coach Ancelotti.

Fatty An's coaching ability is beyond doubt. Tailoring clothes to suit the individual's needs is his forte.

But the problem is that what Ancelotti is best at is local adjustment and configuration optimization, and what he is least good at is the construction of the overall tactical system, and Chelsea's entire first team at that time was not suitable for implementing continental tactics at all.

Therefore, in the first season, Chelsea performed quite well, scored a flood of goals, and won the championship, but once Ancelotti gained a firm foothold, the team's performance plummeted in the second season, and Ancelotti's reform failed.

Immediately afterwards, the young marshal Boas, who was in the limelight, took the stage.

It should be said that the mainstream high-position defensive tactics in continental Europe that Villas-Boas implemented at Chelsea was in line with Abramovich's requirements, and must have been personally approved by Abramovich. Therefore, Boas, who came to power with Abramovich's death-free gold medal, made drastic reforms and reorganizations as soon as he came to power.

But the result?

The locker room was in trouble, and the team's performance was in trouble.

But the most important thing is that at this time, as the promoter and supporter behind the scenes, Abramovich chose to sacrifice the latter between the players and Boas, so Boas get out!

With Villas Boas leaving, Chelsea's transition to continental Europe has failed.

Benitez is more like a period of relaxation, and Fatty Bei must know it himself, so his season at Chelsea was purely soy sauce. After one season, Benitez dismissed get out of class and Mourinho made a comeback.

As a result, Chelsea returned to the old road a few years ago.

From the process of Chelsea's coaching change, it is not difficult to see that the head coach of a team, or even the business philosophy of a team, is just a manifestation and an extension of the will of the boss behind the scenes.

The head coach is just a pair of hands, but the real decision-maker is the boss hiding behind!

Now Yang Huan's position on Monaco is very clear, stick to the current advanced style of play, maintain the Champions League qualification in the Ligue [-], as for what kind of results can be achieved in the Champions League, let's just let it go.

Based on Yang Huan's first two requirements, the number of head coaches who meet the conditions and are willing to coach Monaco can be counted.

"Let, tell me what you think!" Yang Huan admitted that he was not an expert in these aspects.

Bissing handed over a document to Young Master Huan, "Our technical team had a meeting to discuss it, and we also talked to Martino. We drew up a preliminary list of candidates for the head coach."

Yang Huan took it and opened it to take a look.

Hey, the first thing that caught my eye was an old acquaintance.

"Boas, we all recognize the Portuguese's coaching ability, and his tactical style of play is also in line with the team's current requirements. We all believe that he can lead Monaco well."

Yang Huan was silent and didn't make a sound.

Any word he said at this time is likely to be considered as a hint, or hand-picked.

"The head coach of Ajax, Frank De Boer, has also performed well in the past few seasons, and he came from the Ajax youth training, which has greatly helped us improve the youth academy."

The youth training in the Netherlands is world-renowned. Although the Netherlands has not cultivated any powerful new talents in the past few years, almost every youth training hall has traces of the Dutch youth training, and even the youth training coaches from the Netherlands.

"Feyenoord's head coach, Ronald Koeman, is also well-known in Europe, and his coaching performance has always been stable. He was also born in Ajax and started his coaching career in Barcelona. He has rich experience in the European war. He is the only head coach in the Champions League who has led three non-top league teams to the quarter-finals within five years."

"Oh?" Yang Huan really didn't know this.

"Ajax in the [-] season, Benfica in the [-] season, and Eindhoven in the [-] season, they all reached the quarter-finals in the Champions League. This is also a unique record."

Yang Huan nodded and said yes, these three teams are not in the top league.

Next season, Monaco is going to play in the Champions League. Having a head coach with rich experience in European competitions is indeed a big help.

If Yang Huan remembers correctly, Koeman is excellent in both his coaching level and his ability to train young players.

At the beginning of this century, he coached Ajax and trained a group of outstanding players such as Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Ibrahimovic, De Jong, etc., which should be regarded as the last glory of Ajax's youth training.

The only one that has been criticized is Valencia.

But that season, Koeman's experience was the same as that of Boas. With the strong support of the boss and the chairman, he metabolized and reorganized the team, but he was under pressure from the locker room, fans and the media, and finally dismissed get out of class in despair.

However, even though Valencia was turbulent that season, Koeman still won a Copa del Rey for the Bat Corps.

This is also when many people will reflect on it in the future, and they will reprimand the Valencia players.

The reason is simple, the Copa del Rey has prize money and players are willing to fight for it.

As for league results, who cares?
Anyway, it was Coman who was unlucky in the end!

Judging from the whole matter, Koeman is a complete backer, and was even betrayed by Valencia's boss Soler in the end, so he can only dismiss get out of class in despair.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan couldn't help laughing.

In the eyes of the vast majority of fans, isn't the head coach also an unlucky backer?

The last two on the shortlist are from La Liga, one is the Spaniard's head coach Pochettino.

There is no need to introduce this head coach. Inter Milan also considered him at the beginning, but then chose Klopp.

But no matter in terms of coaching level or style, Pochettino is a very good young coach.

The other is Sevilla's coach Emery, nicknamed Amelie.

Fans who are familiar with La Liga will know him, a capable young coach, but the temple of Seville is too small.

If Monaco makes a move, Emery should not refuse.

It can be seen that Bissin's list must have been discussed with Bielsa, Simeone and others, because it is very similar to the coach selection of Inter Milan at that time.

These candidates can almost be said to be the most in line with Monaco's requirements in current football.

It's just... who should I choose?
