Football: Take away half of Boss Mei's skills at the beginning

Parma's next priority is to determine a head coach.

Only after the head coach is determined can they buy players according to the head coach's ideas.

However, this is really a headache for Parma today.

It is impossible for a famous coach to come to Parma. Ordinary coaches are afraid of stepping into a pit. Alessandro has pulled out several hairs and has not figured out who to invite.

At this time, Matteo gave a suggestion: "In fact, you can consider the head coach who just got fired from Serie A. Maybe there is a treasure in it."

Alessandro glanced at him: "Just say the name!"

He knew that since this kid said this, there must be a candidate.

Sure enough, Matteo said slowly: "I think the head coach of Benevento, who was just relegated, is good."

Alessandro certainly knew who he was talking about: "Is it Roberto De Zerbi?"

Matteo nodded: "Of course, although he was not successful as a fire-fighting coach, his playing style is very smooth and his routine is very clear. I think it is quite suitable for us."

Although De Zerbi is not well-known now, Matteo knows that he is definitely a coach with ideas.

When he coached Green Barcelona Sassuolo, his team was a clear stream in Serie A.

Although he may not be suitable for the giants, he is very suitable for Parma now.

Of course, he didn't know that he would shine even more in Brighton later.

Alessandro thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I'll contact him now."

Although he didn't know De Zerbi very well, none of the people Matteo recommended before were bad, which made him have full confidence in Matteo.

Although he didn't know where the boy got the information from, he was his son anyway, so he didn't bother to think about it.

Soon, he got De Zerbi's phone number, and he didn't hesitate to call him directly: "Hello, is this Mr. Roberto De Zerbi?"

The other side quickly responded: "Yes, I am De Zerbi, who are you?"

Alessandro said: "I am Alessandro Lucarelli, the owner of Parma."

De Zerbi hurriedly said: "Hello Mr. Lucarelli, what can I do for you?"

Although he asked this, he had a hunch in his heart.

Is Parma going to find him to be the head coach?

But he was not sure, after all, he had just led Benevento to relegation...

But his guess was soon confirmed.

Alessandro said: "Mr. De Zerbi, we are very interested in inviting you to be the head coach of Parma."

De Zerbi was very excited, but he was not overwhelmed by the news. Instead, he asked: "Mr. Lucarelli, why me? You know, my previous record is not good."

After all, he also has requirements for himself. If Parma is just looking for a temporary transitional head coach because he is cheap, he would rather not go.

Alessandro has already prepared his words: "Because we all agree that you have great potential. It's just that you didn't encounter the right configuration before, which doesn't mean that you are not capable."

De Zerbi was stunned. He didn't expect Alessandro to have a high evaluation of himself.

So he said, "I want to know, what are your requirements for me? For example, in terms of team performance and team style."

Alessandro smiled: "Our requirement is to stay in the league! This should not be a high requirement!"

De Zerbi also smiled: "Of course this is not a high requirement, this is the bottom line."

Alessandro said: "We are not a club that is ambitious. We know that it is not realistic to go further with our current strength, so we will aim to stay in the league."

De Zerbi asked: "What about the team style?"

Alessandro said: "If you know something about our team, then you must know that our team now has several talented players. We are more focused on allowing them to realize their potential."

De Zerbi's eyes lit up.

He had heard that there were several geniuses in the Parma team, and he had also followed their news online.

Indeed, these young people are indeed very qualified, and being able to coach these people does make him excited.

So he immediately said: "Can we talk face to face? I am also very interested in coaching Parma, this great club."

Alessandro said: "You can come to our club, we can just finalize the specific details."

De Zerbi immediately agreed, and they made an appointment to meet at Parma Club the next afternoon.

After Alessandro hung up the phone, MaTheo smiled and said, "Done?"

Alessandro said, "It's basically done. But how many years of contract should we give him?"

Matteo said without hesitation, "At least three years!"

Alessandro was a little surprised: "You are so confident in him?"

Matteo said, "He is a system builder. If he is not given enough time, he will not be able to complete the transformation of the team. Like Klopp of Liverpool, didn't he gradually improve after several years of hard work?"

Alessandro often felt that his son was not like a teenager, but more like a more mature person than himself.

I don't know how he grew up like this.

But what he said made sense, and Alessandro could only follow his advice.

The next afternoon, De Zerbi, carrying a laptop, appeared in the office of Parma Club.

He introduced his plan in detail to Alessandro and Scala, which made the two giants of Parma nod their heads.

More than an hour later, Alessandro had determined that he would be the head coach of Parma next season.

So he said to De Zerbi: "Roberto, do you have any salary requirements?"

De Zerbi said: "I don't need too high a salary, but the only requirement is a long-term contract."

Scala couldn't help asking: "Long-term contract? How long?"

De Zerbi asked tentatively: "Two years?"

Alessandro smiled: "I am willing to give you a three-year contract!"

De Zerbi's eyes lit up.

Alessandro said: "An annual salary of 600,000 euros, plus an automatic termination clause for relegation, I wonder if it's okay?"

De Zerbi thought for a while: "If we enter the European war, is there a salary increase clause?"

Alessandro smiled: "If we enter the European war in these three years, the salary will be automatically increased by 30%, how about it?"

De Zerbi said: "If we enter the European war, I want to increase my salary to 1 million euros."

Alessandro pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Deal!"
