Just now, on the third day after Zhang Jun and Ren Yudi met, the Fiorentina Club announced the dismissal of the current head coach Malesani. The team is currently actively looking for a successor.

The reason for Malezani's dismissal is very simple: his coaching record is too poor.

The announcement did not mention the conflict between Zhang Jun and him.

The announcement of the news was sudden, and no one expected it, including Malezani himself, because the day before he talked to the host about the future of Florence on a local radio station in Florence.

Malezani, who reacted, was very angry. He angrily accused Jalimian of being an absolute liar. He promised him two days ago that the team would give him the highest trust. Two days later, he kicked him away on the grounds of poor performance.

Faced with Malezani's accusations, Jalimian ignored him and continued to work hard on him.

Zhang Jun didn't expect Ren Yudi to do things so vigorously and cleanly, making Malezani completely angry and have nowhere to vent. It is normal for the club to fire a head coach, and his record is indeed too poor. If he continues to make trouble, he will only be regarded as a mad dog.

Subsequently, in just two days, Florence was still actively looking for a successor surfaced. On August 5, the Florence Club officially announced that it would officially hire Antonio Sabato as the team's new head coach.

Every move of the Florence Club that has changed hands recently has been the focus of media attention. Their actions this time have surprised the media.

Who is this person?

All the Florentines asked loudly at the strange name in the newspaper.

The club official did not give any resume of this person, but said that this is an excellent coach with the ability recognized by the Chairman. Mr. Jalimian is looking forward to Florence entering a new glory under his leadership.

But the answers given by the media scared everyone.

Antonio Sabato, now 37 years old, has coached an amateur team in his hometown of Naples at the age of 30. He has coached the Class C and Class B teams one after another, and the teams he coached are not very famous, and his coaching results are not remarkable. In addition, he is the same as an Italian second-rate movie star with the same name and surname. Apart from the above, there is no other detailed information. Finally, all media emphasized that this unknown head coach has never had the experience of coaching a Class A team.

The club's decision has angered Florence's supporters, and Jalimian once promised them that they would create a top-notch roster for Florence, and now they feel they've been fooled.

Then they protested against Jalimian as they did at the beginning. But this time, the club didn't explain anything more.

Just as the protests outside were rising, Florentinosa's new head coach was in the process of an interview with his real boss.

Sabato did not seem humble because the other party was the boss. On the contrary, he acted normally. This made Ren Yudi very happy. He personally chose this nameless person but was not trying to find someone to flatter him.

The outside world's evaluation has many speculations about Sabato, believing that he cannot coach the A-level team and that he has poor performance in the second division is because of his lack of ability, but in fact it is due to his personality. This person often has a falling out with the club's boss on certain issues and is dismissed, but his relationship with the players is pretty good.

This shows that he is a head coach with personality and is very good at winning people's hearts.

"You must be a little surprised by our sudden contact." Ren Yu spoke.

"Well, to be honest, I was very surprised. I have no reputation and can't show off my coaching results. Apart from the same name as a second-rate movie star, I don't know why you came to me. Could it be because I was fired just now and had no job, so it's easier to sign?" Sabato was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the new boss of Florence was such a young oriental, and... he spoke so well in Italian.

"What I value is not your past achievements, but your ability. I want to create a brand new Florence, but I can't believe in those traditional coaches who are conservative in nature. We investigated your background. You are a completely unconservative coach. You are more bold, have an offensive spirit and are aggressive. And the Florence in my heart should be like this. Of course, there is another reason that made me find you..." Ren Yudi deliberately kept it a secret.

"What's the reason?" Sabato asked indeed.

"Your personality is very polite to my temper." Ren Yu smiled, "You are not like those polite old men, which makes me disgusted. You like to swear, oh no, you are swearing. You say whatever you have, but you are not scheming. I want to build Fiorentina is a team that is difficult to manage. I need someone like you who can win over my subordinates to help me manage it. Jalimian is just to cover up my existence. He doesn't know much about football. I have stayed at the club's experience. You communicate with him in your daily affairs, but you are directly responsible for me. Do you understand?"

Sabato nodded: "It doesn't matter, just give me a salary."

Ren Yudi laughed: "Not to mention salary, as long as the team has good results, there are still many bonuses. I am not those shabby Class B bosses."

Then he continued: "Go back and reintegrate the team, you need to gain their trust as soon as possible. The team has just changed a lot, and they must be in panic. You have to comfort them. In addition, although you are in the low-level league, how much do you know about the situation and situation in international football?"

“It’s all clear.”

Ren Yudi put a check on the table and said to Sabato: "That's great. After integrating the team, I'll write all the people who need to be sold and bought on it. I'll buy it for you. But don't bring up that unrealistic plan for buying people. Although I have money, I'm not a fool like Abramovich who knows nothing."

Sabato laughed and said, "Don't worry, boss. I'm not an idiot either."

"Okay, you are the one I personally asked. I will give you trust, don't let me down. It's August now, and we don't have much time. No matter what means you use, it's best to establish prestige as soon as possible. I will ask Jalimian to cooperate with you. If you want to act, I will give you props; if you want to kill, I will give you a knife." The last sentence was like a murderous intent, Ren Yudi said.

※※※

Sabato took the order and left, and he expected it would be difficult to establish his authority. He had no reputation and no record. Why should he restrain those A-level players?

The training of the new head coach on his first day in office attracted many reporters, and they all wanted to see how the unknown "little" head coach manages a group of "big" stars.

But when they rushed to the side of the training ground excitedly, they didn't see anyone there. A group of shocked reporters asked around and found out that Sabato had temporarily changed the outdoor training to indoor training and refused to interview.

As soon as the unknown man came up, he gave the media who were preparing to watch jokes.

At this moment, the entire Florence team was staring in the conference room. They received a notice when changing clothes in the locker room, and the training was changed indoors, allowing everyone to go to the conference room to take tactical classes.

A group of people came to the conference room in a daze. They had been waiting for more than twenty minutes, but they could not see the head coach. Someone was impatient to wait and started to talk. Suddenly, the room was very lively.

"What are you doing? Call us here, but I am late. Is there anyone who is the head coach like this?"

"Oh! The country bumpkins who are from the country are the head coach of a Class A team for the first time. Now they may be busy looking for a tie! Just bear with it, they are also newcomers."

The two of them sang together, which made everyone else laugh. Zhang Jun didn't laugh. He felt that this was disrespectful to the head coach - although he was the most disrespectful before - but now he trusted the candidate Ren Yudi looked for. Ren Yudi had already greeted him in advance, telling him not to express his opinion no matter what happened, just watch.

"Hmph!" Mikoli didn't laugh, and he snorted coldly from the side. Maresca continued to snort, saying, "I don't know what the chairman thinks. There are many excellent coaches to choose, but he chose such a country bumpkin. Is it up to his fame or grade?"

Everyone laughed again.

In fact, Sabato had been here for a long time, but he had been smoking at the door, and he could hear the comments inside clearly. "Hey, the sound insulation in this room is really poor." He smiled at the goalkeeper coach Buso next to him. But Buso couldn't laugh at all. The players' words made the new head coach hear it. It seemed that the locker room would not be calm again.

Sabato threw a large piece of cigarette butts into the trash can next to him and tidied his clothes - of course, instead of making his clothes more neat, he pulled the collar a little bit.

After doing all this, he signaled Buso to step back a little, and then he followed him back.

The meeting room was noisy like a bar.

Sabato smiled, then stepped abruptly and stomped on the closed door.

With a "bang!", the door was kicked open, and the sound in the room disappeared without a trace with the loud noise.

Sabato then appeared at the door. He raised his head and looked at everyone with a look down, looking very cool. Although he was not tall, only 1.8 meters tall, he now showed such a momentum, as if he was the highest in the game. Buso did not dare to come in, and he was completely scared by Sabato's kick - this door was actually locked!

Sabato was observing the performance of the players. Many people had not closed their mouths yet, and some people were obviously smiling just now. They were stunned in the face of the sudden change. The expression on their faces should be as stiff as they were, and they should be more funny as they were. Even Zhang Jun was surprised when the chairman said that, well, it seemed that he didn't know the truth, that's fine.

I could hear a quiet needle in the room.

Sabato was very satisfied with the current situation, and this is the effect he wanted.

"Very good." His expression changed suddenly and he smiled, and he smiled sincerely.

The team members were frightened, and the instantaneous change of faces seemed to fall directly from the Alps to the Mediterranean.

"Okay, Mr. Buso, don't pay attention to the door lock. Just find someone to change it later." Sabato ignored the players' surprise gazes and shouted to Buso as if they were separated by a court.

The players were surprised again, but some people despise the head coach in their hearts because what he did was indeed an uneducated and unseen country bumpkin.

Buso came in without any shame when he was called by Sabato.

"Okay, now... sit for me!" Sabato suddenly changed his face and shouted, and his natural loud voice scared everyone. "Sit down! Look at your careless look! These are not professional players!"

The players were stunned by the momentum of the country bumpkin and were in a hurry to correct their sitting posture.

Seeing that everyone was upright and sat like a primary school student, Sabato's face changed to a smile. He smiled at everyone - he said sincerely: "I just smoked outside just now and chatted with Coach Buso for a while. I didn't expect that the team's atmosphere was so good. Everyone was talking and laughing, haha, it's good!"

Some people gasped in their hearts when he said this. He was late for a long time because he was hiding outside and eavesdropping. He heard what he said just now, including the words "landscaped"... Europeans pay great attention to personal privacy, and now Sabato's performance has changed from alandscaped to a shameful spy. At that time, several people could not hold on their faces.

Sabato pretended not to see it, and continued: "Although today is a tactical class, I don't plan to tell you tactics. Because even if I talk, you won't listen, because I have no fame and no results, ah... you don't need to rush to admit it. Moreover, the team is not stable now and the personnel have not yet been determined. I still need to observe for a while before I can decide the team's tactics..."

Everyone's mind buzzed, and the meaning was obvious: the club needs to be cleaned, and it is a big cleaning, otherwise how could it be impossible to determine the tactics now? You must know that it is only one month before the new season.

"Then today's training is over. The physical coach will take you to practice physical fitness tomorrow. Look at you who are fat now." Sabato walked to the door and stopped. He looked at the door that was kicked by himself, then turned around and said to everyone, "I don't mind you calling me 'homeboy' at all, really, don't mind."

After saying that, he left a room of shocked people and turned around and left.

※※※

A day later, Sabato met Ren Yudi.

Ren Yudi heard Jalimian telling him about what happened that day, and he couldn't even close his mouth. So as soon as he met, he patted Sabato on the shoulder and laughed continuously.

"You did a pretty job! Now they all know what kind of person you are."

"What kind of person am I?" Sabato blinked.

"You are a hooligan, haha!" Ren Yudi smiled happily. This is the head coach in his mind. He has personality, passion, fearlessness, and shamelessness.

Sabato handed the list in his arms to Ren Yudi, who took it over and looked at it, and then said to Sabato: "You and I have to have a similar opinion on the list of players to sell. It is indeed necessary to clean it up once and let them know whose team Fiorentina is. But I will add one person: Rigano."

"Rigano?" Sabato was a little surprised. "Although he is a little older, he can still play as a substitute..."

Ren Yu waved his hand, "No, he is too old. If you want to be a substitute, I can buy it for you." He added Rigano's name to the list. In fact, there was another reason he didn't say that Rigano is enthusiastic and cheerful, and can get along with anyone. Ren Yu was afraid that one day Rigano would pose a certain threat to Zhang Jun's status. After all, these two are very popular in the hearts of fans.

"In terms of buying... Well, I looked at it, why did you ask for the introduction of two Chinese players? I don't think it's necessary. In addition, don't you know the transfer restrictions in Italy? You can only buy one non-EU player from abroad in a year..."

"It's like that. I want to shape Zhang Jun into a core. This requires someone to help him. I think it's better to choose someone he is familiar with. The Three Dutch Musketeers of the Milan Dynasty inspired me. Why didn't we build a Three Chinese Musketeers? Moreover, these two people are very powerful in their respective positions and the price is not high, so the possibility of buying them is very high... As for that limit, it has been modified now. The non-EU quota limit is useless for renting, so we can buy one and rent one."

Ren Yudi looked at the two names on the list again, "You are really worried. The three Chinese musketeers have made you think of. Have you watched the Chinese team's World Cup games?" Ren Yudi smiled, and he went to the VIP private room on site to watch it himself.

Sabato nodded: "I've seen it all. I like the style of the Chinese team very much. Their head coach is a capable person. The two of them, plus Zhang Jun, can be the core of the three lines. I will design the tactics around Zhang Jun. As long as he is not injured and has no physical problems, he is the main force."

Ren Yu touched his chin: "Well, this is what I want to see... Then, let's follow what you said... In addition, you can confirm the main midfielder now."

"Who is it?"

“Mascherano.”

"Javier Mascherano, the one from Corinthians, Brazil, who is called the 'midfield monster' by Maradona?" Sabato said in surprise.

"That's right." Ren Yu nodded and admitted.

"Oh my God! This must be a bombshell in the transfer market! Many wealthy families want to get him, but he actually chose to come to Florence!"

"Well, so this matter needs to be kept secret now. I tell you that I want you to prepare for the tactics. As for why he came here, I have to thank Mr. Batistuta. He lobbied that guy for a whole year... It's hard to imagine that idiot Delavalai would make such a wise decision. Otherwise, we'll have to have a headache for the midfielder, and now we won't need it. Well, that's it. I'll try to satisfy you. You give the list and I buy people. If you think of anything, call me."
