Chapter 350 The New Coach and Contract Renewal

Less than three hours after this strong dialogue ended in a draw, Juventus defeated Crotone with three goals at home, making the Rossoneri currently 14 points away from the Champions League. This result also directly caused the shock of the club's top management. "Repubblica" quoted the famous Italian football expert Christielo in the middle of the night of the same day, saying that the senior management of AC Milan was holding a meeting overnight to consider whether to fire Montella. Coach Gattuso will serve as a substitute and take over the coach of the first team.

At nine o'clock in the morning on Monday, one of the most successful clubs in the history of Italian football made an official announcement that the head coach Montella was dismissed and Gattuso was replaced. The 43-year-old Montella took over the coaching position of Milan in the summer of 2016. At that time, he signed a two-year contract. The results of leading the team in the first year were not bad. He won the seventh place in the league and entered the top eight in the domestic cup. .This summer, after the club changed its boss, it invested heavily in the introduction of many stars, and at the same time renewed a two-year contract with him to show its trust.However, the team's performance this season is unconvincing. The results of 6 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses are obviously out of proportion to the investment of more than [-] million yuan, so "Brother Li" can only shed tears before the situation deteriorates further. .

As for the new coach Gattuso, it seems more like a temporary substitute, because his coaching resume is even much thinner than that of his predecessor."The Butcher", who has played for San Siro for 14 years, took up the coach as a player and coach from the Sion Club of the Swiss Super League in 2013, but he only scored in the first 12 games he led the team. With 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, he was dismissed after half a season.After that, Gattuso was favored by Palermo, who had just been relegated, but after six games, the results of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses will naturally not satisfy the coaching boss Zamparini, and the contract termination will be handed over soon. into the hands of the former.

In the summer of 2014, the former Italian midfielder was appointed as the head coach of the Greek league OFI Crete club. At that time, due to financial difficulties, the club had been in arrears with players' salaries for a long time according to media reports.On October 10, Gattuso announced his resignation as coach due to financial reasons, and he resigned in just three or four months.Next, he chose to take over Pisa, a team that was in Serie C at the time, and successfully led the team to win promotion to Serie B in the promotion play-offs the following year, finally proving himself once.But a month later, Gattuso left the club with what he described as "serious, constant, unacceptable" problems, but a month later, he picked up the coach of Pisa again, which is completely confusing .After the end of last season, because the team almost fell into the relegation zone, the second resignation came naturally.This summer, Gattuso returned to the city of Milan and took up the coach of the Milan youth team.

From the above experience, it can be seen that the new Milan coach seems unlikely to persist in the position of team coach for too long in terms of coaching ability and character.Although the club executives stated that Gattuso is not the team's interim coach, "Gazzetta dello Sport" still believes that the club executives still hope to invite Conte or Ancelotti to coach in the future.Especially the latter has parted ways with Bayern and is at home. If it weren't for the opponent's unwillingness to take over the team in the middle of the season, maybe there would be no such thing as the current head coach.

In the afternoon of the same day, a number of media broke the news that the news of Montella's dismissal was not personally informed by Milan director Mirabelli or CEO Fassone.Although the latter was attending a meeting of the Serie A League and was not there at the time, Mirabelli stayed at the Milanello base all day, but he chose to let a club staff inform that he was preparing to The news came to Montella, who participated in the morning training session.This also shows that in front of the club, the status of the head coach is not as high as the outside world imagines. Although coaching a wealthy team can reap a higher salary and external reputation, all this is in front of those high-level and real bosses. It is nothingness, and once it is no longer needed by the other party, it may be abandoned like a dog at any time, without any due respect.

Faced with this humiliation, Montella, who had just been fired, couldn't say anything. After all, he will still work and live in China in the future, and he can't provoke a giant like AC Milan at all, so he had to express it on his social media. thanks to the club.He wrote: "I am very sad to leave Milan, I have always tried to give everything to the club, but I also accept this decision. I want to thank the players of the club and the fans here, thank you for the good times we have shared in the past. Obviously My coaching in Milan was a failure, but I will always support this team and hope that Milan can return to the top."

Just when Li Modi was still feeling sorry for this colleague, another news of coaching change spread on the Internet.In fact, less than half an hour before the official news of Montella's dismissal was released, the Sassuolo club had officially announced that the team coach Christian Bucci was dismissed from get out of class.It’s just that before everyone started discussing this news, AC Milan broke out even bigger news, which made the change of coach of the Green and Black Legion lose all its appeal in an instant, until the news of the change of coach of the Serie A giants was released. After the excavation was clean, it re-entered everyone's field of vision.

After losing 0-2 at home to the penultimate league and newly promoted Verona in the past weekend, the senior management of the Sassuolo club finally couldn't bear it anymore. They made a quick decision and won the first season. Butch with 3 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses.This season is the latter's debut in Serie A. He replaced Di Francesco, who returned to his old club Roma, to join the Green and Black Legion in the summer. The two-year contract he signed at that time is now It seems obviously very unreliable.And Butch's successor did not keep the outside world waiting too long. In the afternoon, Sassuolo issued an official announcement again, announcing that former Palermo and Udinese coach Giuseppe Iachini will become the new head coach of the first team.

The 54-year-old Iachini is an upgrade master. He has led many teams such as Chievo, Brescia, Sampdoria and Palermo to Serie A. He has a very personal label, that is, he always carries Hats off, even in the coaching game.According to local media, the new coach will sign a contract with the club until the end of June 2019, and a press conference will be held at noon on Tuesday.

As of this Monday, the 17th, there have been six head coach changes in Serie A. It is still unclear how effective it will be, but the impact is indeed quite large.Although these things have nothing to do with Li Moody, he had an inexplicable relationship with AC Milan before, but he still received a call from his agent Guinness on Tuesday night. The willingness of the contract, hoping to get the response of the parties.

After hearing this news, Li Mudi felt very different, because his existing contract was signed less than nine months ago, and it did not return until the end of June next year. How could the club propose a new contract at this time? Come?However, he quickly got an explanation from his agent. It turned out that after the news that AC Milan wanted to poach the Red Bulls from the outside world a few days ago, Urbano Cairo and other high-level officials really I felt uneasy, thinking that facing the world's top giants, no one would easily refuse the invitation to coach, let alone the head coach who mentioned before that he became a Rossoneri supporter when he first came into contact with Serie A.

Although it soon proved that it was just an unfounded rumor, it was enough to scare several managers of the club.Due to the current outstanding performance in leading the team, and because his racial identity can bring the previously unimaginable sponsorship contracts to the Red Bulls, Li Moody can already be regarded as one of the most important figures for this club, at least for the current club. No one in the team expects him to leave for non-performance reasons.And another very important factor is that the previous annual salary of the Turin coach is still not high. All the top results in the world, and the tens of millions of sponsorship fees he brought, are not enough.

Low salary means less liquidated damages. If the Rossoneri really want to poach Li Moody, they only need to pay a few euros to take him away. This has caused great psychological pressure on the Turin club, and they want to change the contract. There are also considerations of increasing the cost of other teams' forced buyouts and making the opponent fearful.Because for more than a month, the handsome position of Real Madrid has been attracting the attention of countless people all over the world. There is no guarantee that one day Zidane can't bear it and will be dismissed. In case Lafayette suddenly goes crazy and wants Li Mudi to take over , then I really can't keep people.But it is obvious that this worry is definitely superfluous at the moment. Even if Qi Zu leaves get out of class, it is impossible to enter the Bernabeu with the current fame and status of the Turin coach.

In short, the club just wants to increase the salary of their team coach. Faced with such a good thing, even if he has no intention of leaving in the short term, Li Mudi will not be so stupid as to refuse to accept it. Naturally, he readily agreed. .He does not need to participate in the rest of the negotiations. With Guinness, the big broker, I believe he will be able to get a new contract that satisfies him.

On the night of Tuesday and Wednesday, eight matches in the final qualifying round of this season's Coppa Italia ended one after another. Except for Cagliari's upset loss to the third-tier team Pordenone, the rest of the Serie A teams won. qualified for the top sixteen.The matchup table for the quarter-finals was also released immediately. Inter Milan was lucky enough to meet the team from the third tier, and almost locked the place to advance to the next round. Relatively speaking, the days of Turin and Rome are relatively Sadly, the former will face Sampdoria, and the latter will face Fiorentina. Fortunately, the two teams that ranked top in the league last season have home court advantage, otherwise it will be a tough battle.

The 2017-to-[-] match will be scheduled to take place in the second and third weeks of December, with four games a week, with one game to determine the winner.The quarter-finals will be held in the following two weeks, plus the final match of the European group stage in the middle of next week, the strong teams of Serie A will usher in many times in the last month of [-]. Double matches a week is another great test for the physical fitness of the players.Maybe who will be left behind in the title race will be known before entering the new year.

On the last day of November, Torino's official website issued a big news that the team's main striker Belotti officially signed a new contract, with an annual salary increased to 380 million before tax, valid until the summer of 2022. The club's liquidated damages were raised to 2000 million euros.In addition, the amount of bonuses related to appearances and goals has also been increased to a large extent, and the new contract has set up a loyalty bonus clause. As long as the player does not voluntarily propose to leave the team, he will receive an additional reward of 50 euros every year.This new contract makes last season's top scorer in Serie A the highest paid Italian striker, but it is still inferior to Zaza and Balotelli who are playing overseas, not to mention Pellet who is making money in China. up.

When renewing the contract with Hong Beibei last year, the club's financial situation was not good, so the salary package offered can only be said to be unsatisfactory.However, with the strong sponsorship of the "Papa of Heaven", the current financial situation of the Red Bulls is still very good. Although it is not as good as the local tyrants like Juventus, Naples and Milan, it is not far from the Roman duo who are in a state of financial austerity. Can't see the back anymore.

Not to mention Cassie's special situation, Immobile, who joined the team in the summer, got a high salary, and core players such as Benassi and Baselli also received substantial salary increases through contract renewals. After renewing Belotti this time , This time the salary adjustment in the Turin team has basically been fully in place.Although the increase in capital expenditure is not small, it is in line with the current status of the club. It is always operated on a small budget. Even if the club can temporarily achieve some competitive results, it will not last for a long time. Only by offering a salary that meets the results can it be retained. Existing players and attracting more excellent new aid, otherwise the team will fall apart sooner or later.

In February and March next year, the remaining few non-core players in the first team will also receive the contract renewal intentions from the Turin Club. Li Moody is basically satisfied with the current lineup, so He is willing to keep everyone as long as the conditions are not excessive.Even if there will be big-name newcomers joining next summer, because the registration quota for this season is not full, it will not affect the current retention of these players.The act of proposing to renew the contract can also test out who has already thought carefully. Combined with the monitoring of the FM system, it can be found in advance whether there are players who want to leave the team, so that the club can arrange countermeasures in advance.
