Chapter 460 Negotiations
At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Fan Shang tidied up his appearance at home and waited for Otti's arrival.

Vincent could show off, but Francois couldn't. He went to the airport to greet Otti, and then went directly to Vincent's residence.

After opening the door, Fan Shang saw the middle-aged man next to Francois. He was not short and a little fat. He looked more like a South American in appearance, but he was indeed a Spaniard born and raised in Valencia.

Francois first introduced, "Fan Shang, this is Mr. Otti, the general manager of Valencia." Turning around, he said, "Mr. Otti, I don't need to say more, it must be on TV and in newspapers. You will see it often, Vincent."

"Hello, Mr. Otti." Fan Shang felt that since people could come to visit, it meant sincerity, and he had to express it first.

"Hello, Mr. Fan Shang." Otti also smiled and shook hands with Fan Shang. ,

Afterwards, Fan Shang let a few people into the room, and Otti really came with an assistant this time, and he did it easily.

"Mr. Fan Shang, you should also know the purpose of my visit this time. Our Valencia club hopes that you can be our head coach." After several people sat down, Otti directly said himself The purpose of this visit.

"Of course, it's just a simple statement, but the specific conditions of our two parties cannot be resolved with this sentence." Fan Shang did not deny it, but negotiations can only be negotiated if there is a negotiation. What is needed now is for both parties to put forward their own conditions. See Look at the other party's conditions and then negotiate further.

"Yes, maybe I'm a little anxious." Ottie felt that he was at a disadvantage, and took a sip of the water on the table.

"It's okay, Mr. Otti, then you can talk about it first. Since Valencia wants me to be the head coach, what performance requirements does the club have? Also, what kind of support can the club give me?" Vincent refused to give Otti What is the time to relax? Since you have the initiative in the negotiation, you must keep chasing after it.

Otti didn't answer immediately, but thought about it first, "First of all, our goal is very simple, that is the championship, the champion of La Liga, and we only have one UEFA Cup in European competitions. It would be better if there is a breakthrough. If there is no breakthrough, we only need to win the league championship. I don’t care about other things. As for your support, we have also told Mr. François before. First of all, the transfer fee is not too much or too little. With a budget of 5000 million euros, if you Proceeds from the sale of players are credited to the transfer balance."

"Well, the league is the most important thing. If there is any conflict with the league, the league should be the main one, right?" Vincent summed up Otti's goal.

"Yes" Ottie nodded.

"Mr. Otti, don't you dream of winning the Double or the Triple Crown?" Vincent asked Otti.

"This can only be said to be our dream, Mr. Fan Shang. After all, no matter how strong we are in Spain, we can only be regarded as a second-rate team. The eternal mainstream in Spain is Real Madrid and Barcelona. We will suppress two teams in one competition. The team is not bad, and it is almost impossible to suppress them in both the league and the cup." Otti also had a dream in his heart, but the two mountains on his head were really too big.

Fan Shang nodded at this time. The situation in Spain is like this. There are two poles. Although some league or cup champions will fall, but the strength of the two poles is there. They can let you steal a few championships, but they will not allow it. What double crowns and triple crowns appeared.

"Your requirement is only the league championship. Do you have any other requirements such as those players must stay in the team and those players must leave the team?" Vincent wanted to inquire about the degree of Otti's interference with the team from the side.

"Don't worry about this. When I first contacted Mr. Francois, I heard him say that the players of the team you coached, the lineup settings, etc. were all done by you. If you come to Va The same is true for Rencia, as long as you are in charge of sports issues, including player transfers, we will take care of other chores." Otti has talked with François several times, and for Vincent this This kind of practice that requires the right to speak is already very clear, so he decided not to interfere in the team's affairs during Vincent's coaching period, and it is acceptable to suffer for the championship for a year or two.

"Mr. Otti, it seems that you and Francois have already had a lot of discussions. Then I have one more request, a one-year contract and the highest annual salary of the head coach." Vincent also said the last point The conditions that can prove his status in football.

"There is no problem with the annual salary, but if the contract is only signed for one year, if, I mean, if you can't lead the team to win the league next year, will you leave?" Otti has no opinion on other things, but this is the one One-year contract, you must know that many head coaches need one to two years to build a team, and it takes three to four years to achieve real results. Now Fan Shang only signs for one year. I don’t know whether Fan Shang is too confident or just playing around. Valencia play.

"I signed a one-year contract at Inter Milan last year, so I won the Triple Crown and left." Fan Shang gave an example of his own success, but Fan Shang also knew that this should not dispel Otti's concerns , "Well, let's sign a 1+1 contract. Have you heard of an NBA contract? There are player options or team options."

Ottie nodded. For a businessman in the sports industry, although he doesn't play basketball, they still know some business things.

"That's good, we will sign a contract similar to that, 1+1, one year plus one year, if I can win the championship in the first year, then the second year will be my choice to continue coaching in Valencia. Right, if I don’t win the championship, then the Valencia club will have the initiative whether I continue to coach in Valencia in the second year.” Vincent explained here, then stopped, looked at Otti, and waited for his opinion .

Ottie didn't answer immediately, but fell silent.He is weighing, Fan Shang's reputation and ability are there. If he is said to be the best head coach in the world, some people may jump out to question, but most people still support it.If he is one of the best managers, everyone will support him.

Now it is such a gamble before Valencia. Do you want to take a year to gamble on whether the best head coach in the world can lead Valencia to the La Liga championship.

Ottie thought about it and it seems that there is really no more suitable candidate than Fan Shang. No one dared to shout out the words of winning the championship in the first year, and Fan Shang added it to the contract.
