Chapter 380 A reporter with a black line
In fact, if you can think of Ranieri, I would like to thank Jing Jian for his abnormal memory. Once in my previous life, I saw the sports news that was pushed - the Premier League promoted team won the championship miraculously! Jing Jian browsed it curiously. And the head coach of the Leicester City team who created miracles was this Ranieri.
Originally, this kind of browsing took only one minute. But when I saw the news, I found that Ranieri's nickname was a very strange "pot-making maker". So Jing Jian curiously searched Ranieri's personal information. After reading it, I had some impressions, ranging from one minute to two minutes, but for Jing Jian, this is definitely the difference between existence and non-existence.
Jing Jian’s understanding of football coaches is that he knows the famous coaches. In other words, they are all champion coaches who have won the championship. However, the Portsmouth club is different now. At the very least, the team must be promoted to the First Class and can gain a foothold in the First Class, otherwise everything else is false. Therefore, the head coach of the club does not have to be the best, it must be the most suitable.
Ranieri is such a "suitable" coach. Anyway, according to Jing Jian's understanding, those who can make a name for themselves are at least first-class. Otherwise, who would take care of you?
As for the "Putting Tonic", it means that Ranieri has strong adaptability, good at leading weak teams or has many problems, teams often create miracles. Although they are a little worse than those champion coaches, they can at least win the championship. The Portsmouth team's lineup has been greatly changed, and next season it will be almost a brand new team. If you want to re-engage and return to Class A, don't you need a "Putting Tonic Tonic"?
When communicating with Pixar, Pixar also recommended several head coach candidates, but Jing Jian was not satisfied. Suddenly, he thought of Ranieri, so Jing Jian asked casually. Pixar had been in the industry for so long and of course he had a certain connection. In the office, he directly called his Italian friend and contacted Ranieri in a few seconds. After the call, he made a decision on the spot, and the pink newcomer became the new head coach.
Sometimes, Jing Jian is accustomed to being arbitrary. Although he understands that Ranieri has just debuted at this time and may not have grown into a mature "pot-making maker", but he has already made a choice, so he will be a neat "shuha".
...
Facing the reporter's question, Pixar's answer was a bit vague: "Mr. Ranieri comes from the top Italian league in the European continent and is very consistent with our team building philosophy. As we all know, after the Heisel tragedy, the English club failed to be in European competitions within five years, which is very unfavorable to the development of English football. I have no intention of commenting on the right and wrong of the tragedy and express my heartfelt condolences to the victims of the tragedy. But we cannot be self-confidence and need to strengthen exchanges and learning with European football. And I also firmly believe that the English club will return to the peak of European football, and our goal of Portsmouth is not only to return to Class A, but also to obtain the qualification for European warfare."
In fact, Pixar was helpless in such a boastful talk. What else could he say? His past record? Coaching experience? That Ranieri had nothing? He could only keep singing high-profile.
Sure enough, the reporters and fans below were stunned. After the Heisel massacre in 1985, the English club was banned from European competition for five years. Even the most arrogant English fans knew that it was not good for the development of the English club. At this time, strengthening exchanges and learning with European football is definitely politically correct? No one can say that there is anything wrong.
"But, eh?" Finally, a reporter found that they were almost taken into the ditch. He simply threw away the old slippery manager and asked the head coach directly: "Mr. Ranieri, which team did you coach in the past few seasons? What is your record?"
And a bright smile came out from Ranieri's bitter face, and he stammered in English: "Hello, I'm glad to know you."
"Uh?" The audience was stunned. Some reporters were not giving up. "Mr. Ranieri, do you speak English?"
“Hello…”
Everyone is a black line. After a long time of trouble, they can't even understand the language? It's so annoying. How can people grab the news?
Pixar, who was standing by, quickly explained: "Sorry, I just signed the contract and haven't hired an interpreter in time. If you need an exclusive interview, you can wait a few days before contacting the club."
"So Mr. Pixar, can you disclose the amount of Mr. Ranieri's contract?"
"1 million pounds in two years..."
"Ah?" The head coach's salary standard is far beyond the average level of a professional coach in the UK, and even in the world, it is the level of a first-class coach. Some people looked at Ranieri with a little jealousy. This Italian boy is really lucky and actually met a sucker club.
Pixar smiled slightly: "Be quieter, gentlemen. There are additional rewards in the contract. If you return to Class A next season, you will be rewarded with 300,000 yuan; if you can successfully relegate next season, you will be rewarded with another 500,000 yuan."
"Damn!" Many people's hearts were filled with thousands of divine beasts roaring past. It's no exaggeration. If any club was willing to give this salary, the world's top coaches could already choose at will, so how could it fall into this Italian rookie? The reporters below can guarantee that when this news comes out tomorrow, how would the head coaches in Britain be envious, jealous, and hate?
...
After hearing the exclamations, Ranieri still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't understand what was going on. However, he was not stupid. Looking at the expressions of the people below, he knew that he was questioning himself. To be honest, Ranieri still felt that he was dreaming now.
To be honest, when he just received a call from Pixar, Ranieri thought the other party was joking. It was not until through the translation on the side that Portsmouth was willing to provide round-trip air tickets that Ranieri was half-believing. After all, becoming a professional head coach was already very attractive to him.
In fact, in the original history, Ranieli became the head coach of the Italian C-level team Cagliari in the next season, and for two consecutive seasons, he promoted Cagliari from Class C to Class A. Later, he joined the Naples team, but ended in failure. Then, Ranieli became the head coach of the purple legion Fiorentina, and successfully brought Fiorentina, which was in a low position, back to Serie A in 1994, and led Fiorentina to the Italian Cup in the 95/96 season.
It can be seen that Ranieri's career as a "pot-making machine" is about to begin, and finding him can be said to be the best. Ranieri has a strong ability to lead a weak team to upgrade, and Portsmouth happens to urgently need such a head coach.
