Coaching career started as a college team coach

May 28, 2018.

In the activity room of Wolves' Fosun training base, a two-layer cake was placed on the table.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."

"Make a wish!"

After the off-tune melody and the almost screaming singing ended, Wei Le stood up with difficulty.

"Promise me, brothers, you won't sing anymore."

Amid the good-natured laughter, Wei Le smiled and blew out the "23" shaped candle.

"Happy birthday, Boss!" Everyone applauded and blessed.

"What wish did you make?" Jota asked excitedly.

Maguire handed over the cake knife and said with a smile, "It won't work if you say it."

"Yes, it won't work if you say it." Wei Le nodded.

"Eat cake!" Almiron jumped three feet high.

"Don't rush to eat, brothers." Wei Le said, pointing to the Wolves staff who came in with a camera, "Let's take a group photo."

"Okay, come on!" Everyone cooperated and quickly stood in formation.

Wei Le sat in the middle, the players scattered on the left and right, and the coaching staff stood in the back row.

"What should we shout? Isn't it too old-fashioned to shout Cheese?" The staff was entangled.

Rodri said, "Simple, then shout 'Happy Birthday'. What do you think?"

Everyone agreed, so it was decided.

"Okay, come on!"

"3, 2, 1——"

"Happy Birthday!!!!"

With a click, the photo was frozen.

Wei Le sat in the middle with a bright smile, and the players surrounded their head coach with happy smiles on their faces.

After the staff checked that there was no problem with the photo, they signaled that everyone could start.

The coaching staff members got the cake first, and they were relatively calm. But when it came to the players, the situation was different.

When the cake was served to Gibbs White, Harland "sneaked" from behind, suddenly jumped up, and pressed Gibbs White's head into his own cake plate.

"Your mother's horse!"

When Gibbs White raised his head, his dark skin was covered with white cream, which looked very funny, like a child who had put on makeup for the first time and poured half a plate of foundation on his face.

Gibbs White grabbed a paper plate and started chasing Harland.

Harland laughed wildly and moved around the room with his long legs.

After a moment of surprise, Wei Le smiled and did not stop it.

On the contrary, Cody wanted to say something, but he didn't expect that when the cake was served to him, Ruben Dias, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, also rebelled and slapped Cody in the face.

Coady, who was quite serious a second ago, could not hold back and cursed Reuben for being a beast.

The fourth captain attacked the third captain, and such a reverse scene also opened the curtain for the following melee. Haaland picked up the cream can and started to fight back, but accidentally injured Jota who wanted to stay away from the battle, so he pulled the PVP master in.

The scene was very chaotic for a while.

Even the coaching team got involved. Mark Hux, who was usually responsible for physical training, became the target of siege, especially Trossard and Tierney, who were not good at dealing with high-intensity physical training. Players finally found a legitimate opportunity for revenge.

Mark Hux ran away screaming, followed by many Wolves players who were disheveled, with white cream on their faces, and looked ferocious like "a hundred ghosts parading at night".

Wei Le sat on the side eating cake and looked down at the photo he had just taken.

Gianluca Conte was not in the photo.

He had left the team.

Since he is a member of the team staff, his departure does not need to wait until the transfer window like the players. He packed up his few belongings and left two days ago.

There was no farewell party, and Gianluca Conte said he could not help crying.

Just like going to get off work normally, Gianluca Conte, holding a cardboard box, smiled and waved to the members of the coaching staff, and got on the car back to the residence.

Then they said goodbye.

Gianluca Conte left a gift for Wei Le, which was a list. The people on it were not players, but coaches. They were all candidates that Gianluca Conte said Antonio Conte had been optimistic about or had tried to contact but failed.

Their abilities were all fine.

Gianluca Conte suggested that Wei Le start to form his core coaching team as soon as possible. It is better to form a coaching team sooner rather than later.

If the new coach is in place after the transfer window starts, everything will be too late.

Wei Le listenedFollowing his advice, he postponed his flight back home again.

The first was Thiago Motta, who quickly agreed to the conditions given by Wolves. The salary offered by Wolves to Motta was very generous, basically in line with the salary offered by a mid-to-upper-level team to the assistant coach of the first team.

He didn't care much about money at this stage.

After all, he was once the "best No. 4 in the world" and had played in many top teams, so he certainly had no shortage of money. He chose Wolves mainly for Wei Le.

His main responsibility is to serve as a technical coach, replacing Gianluca Conte, and be responsible for the team's technical training. His experience as a midfielder will bring a lot of help to the progress of Wolves' midfielders.

Edwards has also started to take the coaching certificate exam. He will temporarily join the Wolves' first-team coaching staff to study, and will succeed him in January 2019 when the Wolves U17 head coach's contract expires and leaves.

Before he went to the youth team, his job was mainly responsible for tactical analysis.

Now, the coaching staff of Wolves is as follows:

Weile is the head coach, the assistant coach is Celars, the set-piece coaches are Nicolas Jowell and Edwards, and the technical coach is Thiago Motta.

The goalkeeper coach is Pat Muntien.

The fitness coaches are Sergio Perez and Mark Huxe.

Now, the goalkeeper coach is the area where Wolves need to improve.

The day before his birthday, Weile found a target on the list, which is another goalkeeper coach. He is not well-known in the public eye now, but Weile has seen his bright future.

On this day, Englishman Ben Roberts welcomed a guest.
