Chapter 61 Wishing him good health
The next day, Diop got up very early, and even cooked breakfast for the family, which is rare.After breakfast, he put on his bag, and Diop drove the classic car that had accompanied him for more than ten years to the club.

Passing by the gate of the club, Diop even stopped the car and handed the old gatekeeper a cigarette.The old janitor was so frightened that his hands trembled, he lost his grip and fell to the ground.

Watching Diop's classic car go away, the old janitor wiped his eyes vigorously, and after confirming that it was Diop's license plate, he still couldn't believe it.

Diop's usual impression is that he is stubborn, rigid and unsmiling.Once the club celebrated its anniversary, the board of directors was going to shoot a short video, and everyone said a few words to thank the fans.As a result, Diop's expression was serious, and he couldn't laugh no matter what.

After working in Manchester City for so many years, the number of times Diop laughed can be counted on one hand.

But when he handed cigarettes to the old janitor just now, Diop actually smiled, which made the old janitor feel uneasy.

The protagonist of the incident, Diop, did not care about the thoughts of an old janitor.He didn't smile before because he didn't like to laugh; he smiled today because he was happy.

Diop came early, before everyone else had arrived.So "Diop the Diop" took on the role of cleaner and spent more than half an hour cleaning the office spotlessly.

"Just say goodbye to this assistant coach's office!" Diop was still smiling.

That briefcase was being held in Diop's hands.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, because it is Monday, according to the usual practice, there will be a meeting between the club and the head coach.The location is in the office building of the training base, and the time ranges from ten minutes to several hours.For the team, only the head coach and the captain participate in this meeting, and the assistant coach will take other players to do daily training at this time.

Near the end of the season, there are many things to do.So the latest meeting will always be held for a long time.Today's meeting is more important. In addition to the chairman, general manager, and head coach, several important directors also attended.

"The backbone of the team has been decided, it is best to have a press conference..." In the conference room, the club chairman Wardle was holding a contract and was talking freely when he heard "Boom...", the closed conference room The door was opened.

Diop walked in with a smile.

"Diop, what are you doing?!" the general manager said in a bad tone.

It is very impolite and unruly to break in like this.

Wardle also stared at Diop, hoping he would give a satisfactory explanation.

"Sorry to bother everyone." Diop bowed and said immediately: "But there is one thing, which is related to the image of the Manchester City club, so I have to choose this way. Because this matter is too urgent, there are many nights and dreams! "

"What's the matter? You can definitely make an announcement before the meeting." The general manager's face turned pale, and Diop was usually steady and rarely impulsive.

"Do you have any opinions on our club's head coach next season?" Diop looked around, and when he saw Duncan, he paused for a moment, showing a smile that he thought was "meaningful".

"The candidate for the head coach? Not..." The general manager opened his mouth wide, ready to say something.Before the general manager finished speaking, Chairman Wardell had already interjected halfway: "What do you think about the next season's head coach?" Wardell covered a document in his hand without any hesitation and asked Diop.

That's a good question!Diop praised Mr. Chairman in his heart.

"In my opinion, to evaluate a head coach, his coaching level and coaching experience are still second; the most important thing is his loyalty as a head coach. A disloyal head coach, even if he makes history, is not a person. Good coach. Do you agree with Mr. Duncan?"

Diop looked at Duncan with burning eyes.

"Of course!" Duncan smiled, looking directly at Diop.He didn't wear sunglasses, Diop said he could see Duncan's eyes.

There is like a calm lake, without any strangeness.

Diop panicked for no reason, but holding the briefcase in his hand, Diop regained his courage.

"Very good." Diop said: "Since this is the case, then I don't think Mr. Duncan is suitable to be the official head coach of Manchester City, even if he has won ten consecutive victories!"

Everyone in the conference room cast their eyes on Diop who spoke amazingly, with surprise and curiosity all over Diop's face.

"What's your reason?" Waddell said, but there was an expression on his face that Diop didn't expect.

That expression looked regretful.

"Because he violated the most basic professional ethics of a head coach! He lost his loyalty to Manchester City! He secretly hooked up with Liverpool! He disliked the low salary given by Manchester City, and Liverpool gave him a huge salary, so he changed immediately. The flag is up!" Diop raised his head and chest, loudly.

The expected exclamations, regrets, and reprimands did not resound, and the conference room was silent.

Diop couldn't help but glanced at it, only to find that everyone in the conference room had the same look on their faces.

It was definitely not any expression Diop expected.

Many years later, when the local OP recalled it, he suddenly realized: that expression is the expression of watching a monkey show.He, Diop, was regarded as a monkey.

But at this time, Diop didn't have any self-examination. Looking at the expressions of everyone, he thought that everyone was suspicious of his guessing.

So Diop opened his briefcase, took out a stack of photos the size of an A4 paper, and distributed them to everyone in the conference room.

Duncan got the most.

"Well, the level of photography is good." Wardell took a few photos and nodded frequently: "There have been photos of the club's closed training leaked out before, and I don't know who leaked them. These photos are not the same as those leaked photos. Same, the angle is very accurate!"

Waddell's words made Diop panic for no reason.Having been an assistant coach of the club for so many years, he has often disclosed "inside information" to his good friend "London Times" reporter Johnny to earn extra money.

This so-called "inside information" is sometimes illustrated.

"Hehe." Diop laughed twice: "The two people in the photo must be known to everyone, right? They are the deputy manager of the Liverpool athletic department and the personal secretary of the Liverpool chairman. Duncan had a good chat with them and even invited them Go upstairs and talk." Diop said.

"Then what do you think, if Duncan can't do it, who can be the head coach?" The general manager looked up and asked.

"I think the qualifications for this person should be someone who has been in the club for many years and is familiar with the work of the first team, such as me." Diop puffed out his chest.

"Oh." Waddell sighed, unwilling to read any more: "This is for you, you can take a look."

Diop took it and looked down, his face immediately turned pale.

This is a new contract between Manchester City and Duncan. The contract period is four years and the salary is exactly the same as before.

Look at the signing date, it's today!

"The moment before you entered the door, Duncan had just signed a contract extension to serve as the official head coach of Manchester City for a period of four years." Waddell's words drifted over.

That day, the old janitor looked at Diop's classic car strangely, stayed in the club for an hour, and then drove out again.This is also the last time Diop appeared at the Manchester City club. After that, no one has seen him again.

Just in the corner of Manchester City's official website, there is a simple message: "Due to physical reasons, the board of directors has approved the resignation application of the first team assistant coach Diop. Diop's position will be inherited by the youth team coach Luke. The club thanks Diop Mr Pu's contribution to the team over the years, I wish him good health."
