114. Didier Deschamps takes office
At home, Trapani did not get the desired result, a boring draw, no one can tell that Trapani's form has declined like this, Toney came on, came off the bench, but he still failed to score.
Trapani has fallen to fifth place and was overtaken by Udinese, such a result is intolerable to Hugo, and it is even more natural to be dissatisfied with Zeman, but he did not call Zeman, Zeman's life is sad enough now, there are no more rounds in the league, but Trapani will usher in another season of empty four, for a team like Trapani, the big four are not a problem, the problem is that Trapani is too eye-catching, there is a boss who is very good, and the strength of the team is not bad, More and more people are realizing that Trapani is not bad.
The media blamed Zeman, and the indifference of the Trapani hierarchy did not dispel the media's speculation about Zeman's future, and many even swore that Zeman would leave Trapani at the end of the season.
There was no communication with the hierarchy, and in the press conference before the match against Sampdoria on May 1, Zeman was confronted with speculation about his future, "I will leave Trapani at the end of the season!" ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, when Zeman was going to leave became a fact, the media still would not let him go, Trapani's current situation is caused by Zeman, and the team is likely to not get a place in the Champions League, which is undoubtedly Zeman's pain point.
But Zeman told everyone to belittle me and don't start too early, the May schedule is very easy for Trapani, the rest of the opponents are basically weak teams, and there is no strength to challenge Trapani!
As a result, Trapani finished a wonderful May, with five wins in five games, 21 wins, eight draws and nine defeats all season, and 71 points to finish fourth in the league, below Juventus, Milan and Inter Milan, and successfully qualify for the Champions League.
This season has not been very good for Trapani, but Musa Shasha comforted Hugo with this, "Being able to qualify for the Champions League for two consecutive seasons shows that Trapani has now become a stable team to qualify for the Champions League!" That's a good thing! ”
Hugo thought, yes, it is no accident that Trapani can get consecutive Champions League qualifying places, which fully confirms that the team is indeed in a healthy stage of development.
After the end of the season, Trapani's top management invited Zeman to dinner, Zeman basically completed the task, he really had to leave, the stubborn old man did not have resentment, this time he returned to Trapani He only realized one thing, he couldn't work with Hugo, he really couldn't work with Hugo.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, Hugo thanked Zeman on behalf of the team, these are official articles, Zeman also expressed his gratitude!
On June 3, Trapani officially announced Zeman's dismissal.
Trapani's new coach has become the object of speculation in many media, on June 7, Deschamps came to Trapani, the end of the French league, Monaco's record this season is very poor, the problem is not only to let Deschamps take the blame, the reason is their management, Monaco did not make a strong supplement after blood loss, the departure of Gyuli, Morientes and others had a great impact on Monaco, and Deschamps naturally could not make the team brilliant again, so the story between him and Monaco ended, earlier than Zeman's story in Trapani.
The media speculated that Deschamps came to sign, and of course Deschamps came to sign, and the next day Deschamps had an interview with Hugo, and some of the final details were also very important issues.
Deschamps is very satisfied with the conditions given by Hugo, first of all, Hugo changed his previous statement in terms of transfer, and is willing to invest a huge amount of money, this summer Trapani can have no less than 100 million transfer funds, and in terms of power, Deschamps also got some say in the transfer of commitments.
Secondly, in terms of salary, it is clear that Deschamps' record in charge of Monaco has declined, but Hugo still gave Deschamps an annual salary and bonus of 5.4 million after tax, and Hugo said such things when he gave Deschamps this salary.
"Do you know how much money Abramovic gave Mourinho?!"
"You're a coach at the same level as him, you're a champion short! I'm sure you can do it, so I'll give you a price that matches him! You might get more in the future! ”
After the Champions League final, Mourinho ascended to the altar, and the runner-up Deschamps was also recognized by the world, but the voice has always been a lot weaker, plus Monaco's poor record this season, compared to Mourinho, who loves to be in the limelight, Deschamps gradually fell silent, Hugo gave a high salary at this time, which is the trust in Deschamps and the support for Deschamps.
In the end, Deschamps is very satisfied with Trapani's future plans, Trapani's hardware facilities go without saying, Trapani has not relaxed, the training facilities, the medical center are not only young, but also of a very high standard, much better than Monaco, and even better than Milan than Juventus in terms of conditions.
Trapani's plans are also far away, Hugo's ambitions are also very big, with the new stadium, Deschamps also knows that Italy may not have anything to stop Trapani from flying high, so the future is the reason why Deschamps is willing to choose here.
Of course, Deschamps is not without strange terms, given the consistent morality of the Serie A owner, Deschamps only agreed to sign a contract for two years, and Trapani can't fire him in these two years, otherwise he will have to pay sky-high liquidated damages for violating this clause.
This sky-high liquidated damages are very expensive, up to 20 million euros, which is strange enough! It's really weird, Giorgio is going crazy, there is such a strange clause, Deschamps said that the team needs to give him enough trust.
When Deschamps and Hugo communicated privately, he said: "There is a run-in process between me and the team, and no one can say how long this process is! Maybe it wasn't a great start for me and the team, but I hope the club will stick with me and support me, I believe in my ability but I don't believe in how much trust you can give! ”
Hugo can understand Deschamps's feelings, there is a lack of trust between him and Monaco, even if he is very satisfied with Trapani and Hugo's attitude, Deschamps is absolutely unwilling to be fired after a few months, or even a few games, what he needs is that the club can bear it, Deschamps, who has been mixed in Serie A for many years, knows that Italian owners are generally not easy to bear, and the head coach is the easiest position to bear.
What else can Hugo say, this clause is shameless enough, but Hugo now has a full sense of trust in Deschamps, and after communicating with Deschamps, Hugo asked Giorgio to sign his name, and the contract between the two parties was officially reached.
On June 10, Trapani officially announced that Deschamps has officially become Trapani's new head coach.
"I'm very happy to be in Trapani!" Deschamps' opening remarks.
"Mr. Deschamps, can you tell us why you chose Trapani?!" The journalists asked.
"I chose here because I think Trapani is an ambitious team! Mr. Colini is remarkable, Trapani has been the most spectacular team in Serie A since the beginning of the amateur league and he has given a lot! He told me that the future of Trapani is not what it is now, that the team has a bright future, that we will be the best team in the world, with the best stadiums, with the best fans, and I hope I can be part of the team and be able to lead the team forward! Deschamps explained with a smile.
Deschamps is only thirty-eight years old now, a real young coach, really young enough, reporters asked Giorgio whether it would be a risk for Trapani to choose such a young coach as Deschamps, Giorgio is very cunning, he gave the example of Mancini, he thinks Mancini is doing a good job, Deschamps can do the same.
