Chapter 129: Find a pick-up man
Hugo has already been on this old man's time, at the beginning he also said to help Hugo find a coach, but it took a long time for Barrias to come, this time Hugo is gone, Lao Tzu is waiting for a clever woman to burn the pot, you dead old man procrastinated, will you tell me a candidate after a month.
"Mr. Ulliveeri, look at it, we just need to find a slightly more reliable team like us, I'm not asking for a famous coach, you don't have to be selective for me, you give me a few phone numbers, I'll contact them!" Hugo urged.
"Finding a coach is a prudent matter, and you can't rush it!" Ulivieri admonished.
"Can I not be in a hurry?! Now that the team is on a two-game losing streak, I spent a lot of money in the summer, and then the new rules are introduced, and the team is now panicking and desperate for a manager! Hugo said urgently.
"Well, don't hang up the phone, let me think about it!" Ulliveeri had no choice but to say, and after a while, he remembered a candidate and said to Hugo: "When I used to coach in Modena, there was a young man in the team, Walter. Mazzal, he started his career as a coach after retiring from the game, he worked on my coaching staff when I was in charge of Napoli, and then he was an assistant coach until he was hired by Bologna as youth manager this year. He's qualified to coach, but I'll tell you the truth about him, he's a real newcomer, and he hasn't coached a professional team once! Would you like to talk to him?! ”
"Yes, of course I do! I'm willing to give him a chance! Hugo blurted out that time was running out now, and Hugo didn't want to delay at all.
Uliveri gave Hugo Walter. Mazari's phone, Hugo hung up the phone, turned his head and asked Barrias, who was still staying next to him, "Walter. Have you heard of Mazari yet?! ”
"He, of course I heard that, at Napoli I was also part of the coaching staff!" Barrias said.
"And what about him?! Can you lead the team to a higher level?! "Hugo is still most concerned about this.
"Jiji, where is there any guarantee for this matter, it is difficult for anyone to make such a guarantee for you!" Barrias said speechlessly, and then commented on Walter. Mazari.
"He's a very hardworking coach and a lot of ideas! If you're bold enough, give him a chance, and if not, then look for it slowly! By the way, which coach do you hire is not gambling?! ”
"Well, that's true! Well, bet! I went and talked to him personally, and it was him, and the team needs a coach now! Hugo gritted his teeth and said.
In the evening Hugo to Walter. Mazzari made a phone call, revealing that he wanted to invite him to be the head coach of the team, Mazzari was overjoyed, this is his first time as the head coach of a professional team, not an assistant coach, and now he is not bad at Bologna's youth team, but after all, he still hopes for a higher stage.
"But Mr. Mazari, we are very careful in choosing our coach, so I want to make an appointment with you, and we will have a good talk in person, how about it!"
"No problem, I'm in Bologna, I have time in the evening!" This is the proper meaning of the word, similar to the interview when applying for a position, unless you are a very familiar coach.
Mazzari happily agreed to Hugo's request for an interview.
Hugo didn't say anything, and the next day he flew from Palermo to Bologna with Giorgio, who was the general manager, and he should have been contacted for such a thing, but Hugo thought that Giorgio didn't know as much as he did.
Mazzari is in charge of the Bologna youth team during the day, and he doesn't have time until the evening, and at night Hugo invites Mazzari to dinner at the Chinese restaurant on Villamentana Street, Bologna is not worth mentioning compared to China's big cities, but in Italy it can definitely be called a big city, the urban population is two or three hundred thousand, and there are Chinese restaurants here.
Mazzari came a few minutes later than the agreed time, and Hugo didn't like people to be late, but it was understandable that it was Italian nature to be careless, and Mazzarri informed him of the reason, and the traffic jam was for a while.
Hugo looked at Mazari, who had medium-long wavy hair, looked very young, had a cleanly shaved beard, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and was wearing a white shirt, jeans and sneakers, showing his youthful energy.
And Mazzari was also looking at Hugo and Giorgio, the focus was of course Hugo, Hugo was very young, his face looked very young, exactly the same as in TV, his beard was also processed quickly, his chestnut hair was meticulously groomed, but the younger Hugo was also wearing a formal suit, and at the moment he just handed over the suit to the waiter, leather shoes, trousers, white shirt and black tie.
Everything looked formal, and Mazzari couldn't help but apologize: "Sorry, I didn't have time to go home today!" ”
"It's all right, Mr. Mazzari! Let's talk while eating! Hugo smiled, unimpressed.
Immediately everyone started to talk while eating, Giorgio introduced the team to Mazzal, and Mazzarri tried to tell Hugo about his experience.
Hugo waved his hand, "I know your past, it was Monsieur Ulliveeri who recommended you to me!" He also had concerns, and he said that you don't have the experience of coaching a professional team on your own, and I know that! I'm not worried about this, I'm willing to give you a chance, so would you like to come and coach our team?! ”
Disagreement is the basic consensus, agreed to the conditions of the next talks, did not agree to break up, there is no need to continue to go deeper.
"Of course, of course, I would like to get the opportunity to coach independently! But I also have some conditions that I want to make clear to you! ”
"Tell me about it!" Hugo said with a smile, this is also how it should be, the manager who does not pay attention to the conditions must be hungry, and Mazzarri has not panicked to the point of being hungry.
"First, you can't interfere in the affairs of my work!" Mazzarri looked at Hugo's face, Trapani is not an unknown person, Mazzari knew that this club made a big move in the first half of the year, and worked overtime last night to collect information, knowing that Trapani's previous head coach was the boss in front of him, thinking of the recently introduced policy, Mazzari estimated that Hugo was forced to resign as head coach, and it is not ruled out that this guy used himself as a puppet, but in fact he manipulated the team.
"No problem, I will never interfere in the matters within your scope of work!" Hugo immediately said that Lao Tzu had wanted to resign, but this time it was a smooth push, and I was not willing to interfere if he wanted me to interfere.
"Number two, you have to help me establish authority, Mr. Esposito has just said about the situation of the team, there are several veterans in the team, and I am the head coach who has no experience in coaching a professional team, I am worried that they will rebel, you need to be on my side!" Mazari made a second request.
Good guy, as soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he knows if there is any, not yet, does he know that the veterans in the team are not so easy to deal with?! Hugo thought to himself.
He misunderstood, Mazzariti's conditions are completely precautionary, he was also a player in his early years, he played in a small club at the beginning, and there is really nothing to show off, and Hugo's team, two veterans, Amor played for Barcelona under Cruyff, and Lombardo also played for Juventus, Sampdoria, Lazio in Serie A, and won the Serie A championship with Lazio last season, so the two gods stand there, can Mazzarri convince the public?! Hard!
But if the boss is on his side, then it's no problem, if he doesn't obey, he will give Lao Tzu the whole thing, and delegate them to have no ball to kick.
"Hehe, to be honest, now the team has suffered two consecutive defeats and the tactical differences within the team also have a lot to do with the tactical differences, these bastards are not so obedient, don't worry, this time I have to learn from the pain, make up my mind, go back and take care of them, you take office, I will never allow any players to question you!" Hugo assured that since he stepped down from the head coach and looked at the problem from the boss's point of view, these bastards seemed to be really out of order, and a certain domineering Hugo came out again.
He may not understand, this is the difference in dealing with problems in different positions, when he used to be the head coach, he was as unconfident as Mazzal, and he couldn't compare with those old things, but when he stepped down as the head coach and returned to the boss's perspective, he was naturally different, the problem was much simpler, everything could be decided with money, no need to talk to them about feelings, and if he was disobedient, he would die for Lao Tzu until they were obedient.
I have to say that the head coach is really a pot, no wonder Hugo was uncomfortable when he was on his back, and he was relaxed when he unloaded.
"That's good! My third condition is to say whether I can call the shots in terms of recruitment, and I hope to bring in some players that I need! Mazari continued.
"Of course, we'll listen to you, but the club has its own direction and we can't ignore our vision just because you're going to get results, right? At present, we are taking the road of rejuvenation, and I hope you can give young people more opportunities! Hugo said, this means in disguise that you can't call the shots.
Many times the conflict between the team and the coach also arises here, the coach is "eager for quick success", and the club is "long-term development", the two sides at this time to make it clear, so as not to get Mazzali to ask for this and that, it is really difficult to do.
Mazzar nodded, even if he agreed with Hugo's words, it is impossible for him to transfer the right to transfer with his current qualifications, and besides, the coach in Italy is not England, England is called a manager, and here is called a coach, the difference is very big.
