ps1: I wish you all a happy 11th holiday~ We also came out to play during this holiday, so I finished this chapter at the hotel in the middle of the night......

PS2: Again, please wait for us to officially sign the contract before rewarding, otherwise we may not be able to receive the reward~

"Well, things are going in this direction that I don't want to see at all. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" was silent for a long time, and Ferguson, who was sitting at the desk, sighed heavily, his tone full of regret and reluctance, "If I knew this, I probably shouldn't have recommended to the board of directors in the first place, George, to take over the first-team work during my hospitalization." ”

That being said, Ferguson also knew in his heart that letting George Nelson take over the affairs of the team during his recuperation was the best option he could make for United at the time. If Queiroz is appointed acting manager, Manchester United may not even be able to win back a Premier League trophy!

In Ferguson's eyes, Queiroz is excellent as an assistant coach. In this role, the Portuguese's tactical knowledge and experience as a former manager could have a number of positive implications for United, such as giving the Reds more variation in their style of play and making it easier for the team to win some games. But if Queiroz is the head coach, the Portuguese's shortcomings in relieving dressing room relationships and over-reliance on big-name stars are enough to bury the team's efforts throughout the season. To put it more seriously, in Ferguson's eyes, Queiroz may even shake the foundation of Manchester United's dominance of English football after he takes office!

You must know that under Ferguson's rule, Manchester United can win and dominate English football fundamentally, not simply by relying on the on-the-spot performance of one or a few big-name stars, but by the team and the whole!

George Nelson, on the other hand, has watched Ferguson grow up step by step. George's understanding of Manchester United's tactical play and staffing is naturally clear to the old Scottish man. Moreover, during the five years that George played for Manchester United, he has established good personal relationships with team bigwigs such as Roy Keane and David Beckham. This friendship, combined with the dedication and dedication of five years as Manchester United's assistant manager, was enough for George to take control of the dressing room as quickly as possible, and to ensure that the Red Devils' fighting power did not drop significantly. None of these conditions were available to Queiroz, who had only come to Old Trafford in the summer of 2002 to teach.

It was for these two reasons that Ferguson would not hesitate to resign and retire as a threat, forcing the United board to abandon the idea of having Queiroz as acting manager and instead hand over this extremely important role to the younger George Nelson.

It's just that Ferguson didn't expect that the young assistant coach next to him would be so powerful, not only defeated his old rival Arsenal in his coaching debut, but also led Manchester United to successfully complete a shocking reversal on the league battlefield, just closing the double-digit difference between him and the leader, and locking the Premier League championship one round ahead of schedule!

Although it was somewhat disappointing to have only reached the quarter-finals in the Champions League, Ferguson must admit that George Nelson's achievements as an acting manager on the verge of success, with no previous managerial experience, can be said to be outstanding.

You must know that even Alex Ferguson himself, when he first took charge of Manchester United, he led the team to only 11th place in League One (the top flight in England at the time). At that time, the Scottish red-nosed old man had more than ten years of coaching experience in St. Mirren, Aberdeen and other teams, and even led the Scottish national team to the World Cup in Mexico!

And what about George Nelson, who didn't even have coaching experience with any team, not even the youth team, before Alex Ferguson was hospitalized due to illness this season!

In such stark contrast, George Nelson's outstanding achievements after his appointment naturally attracted Ferguson's strong attention - after all, this is something that the old man did not do back then, and he can't help but pay attention to it.

It is for this reason that Ferguson began to put George Nelson on the list of capable successors to Manchester United, and put him at the top of all the candidates - before that, Ferguson only saw George as a young coach with the potential to become a top manager, and did not think he had what it took to take charge of a top club.

"Alas, I didn't expect to be the head coach for so many years, and I still looked away......" Looking at the determined expression on George Nelson's face, as well as the confident and unwavering look in his blue eyes, Ferguson's heart couldn't help but hurt. Because the old man knew in his heart that unless he could assure George that he would definitely be the first team manager of Manchester United next season, it would be absolutely impossible for this young man who had already shown excellent coaching talent to stay at Manchester United: "So, you came to Carrington today to say goodbye to me in advance?"

"That's right, Alex, I'm here in Carrington to say hello to you in advance. Earlier today, Peter [Kenyon] accepted my resignation on behalf of Manchester United's management. They said that at the end of the season, I could officially resign from my current role as assistant coach and acting manager at Manchester United and go to another team where I could be given a permanent managerial position. In response to Ferguson's inquiry, George nodded and affirmed the other party's statement, "However, even if Alex is not hospitalized due to illness, I'm afraid I won't stay here until you are willing to retire from the managerial position." ”

"Well, that's right. Anyway, it's gold that has to shine sooner or later. Even without me, George, you'll probably be able to find a chance to prove your coaching talent. Seeing that the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as his son and had a relationship with him, insisted on leaving, and Rao was as iron-fisted as Ferguson, his expression at this time couldn't help but be a little gloomy, "However, I really didn't expect that this day would come so early...... Oh, then again. When Sir Robson (Bobby Robson, former England national team manager, knighted by the British royal family in 2002) recommended you to me, he said that you would quit the coaching path without hesitation if you had the opportunity. Now it seems that Sir Robson's vision of people is really accurate, George, after you really broke through on this stage, you are no longer willing to be an assistant coach, and you plan to spread your wings. ”

To be honest, Ferguson very much hopes that George Nelson will change his mind and choose to stay at Manchester United to continue as an assistant coach for him, and when he retires from the managerial position, he will continue to lead the Red Devils to rule English football for two or three decades. Because in the five years that the two have worked together, especially during the half year that he has been recuperating due to illness, Ferguson has a fairly full understanding of the young man's ability and potential, so this time, he will feel extremely sorry for George's decision.

You know, even the other man who was called Ferguson's right-hand man by the British media, former Portugal youth coach Carlos Queiroz, did not get so much attention from the old Scottish red-nosed man. This shows how much weight George Nelson, who is only twenty-three, has in Ferguson's heart!

Of course, if George could hear Ferguson's heart now, he would definitely not agree to the other party's request - with the stubbornness and disobedience of this old Scottish man, God knows when this thing will decide to retire from the position of head coach!

If Ferguson still worked as a head coach until 2013 and announced his retirement, as he did in his previous life, will he have to wait until that time?

Seeing this sentence, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of another layer of George Nelson's identity. That's right, in the archives of this world, George Nelson, who was born in 1980 and is a descendant of the famous former British Royal Navy Viscount Horatio Nelson, is a time-traveler from 2016! As for his deeds after crossing into this world, they will be described in detail in the following chapters, and I will not go into detail here.

"Huh, the old man told you this?" George Nelson chuckled when he heard Ferguson's heartfelt emotion, quietly changed the subject, and began to recall the past, "To be honest, when the old man asked me to be an assistant coach to Alex, I was still very unconvinced. After all, I was already an assistant coach at the time, and I had won a Cup Winners' Cup and a Copa del Rey with the old man in Barcelona, so I naturally felt that it was really challenging and useless to be an assistant coach at Manchester United. ”

"But, at the end of the day, you changed your mind and worked here as an assistant coach for five years. Ferguson's face couldn't help but have a look of nostalgia on George's past remark, "But then again, when I received that phone call from Sir Robson asking me to arrange you for an assistant coach position, I was quite unhappy. After all, you were too young to see what it took to be in this position. ”

"Fortunately, Alex, you finally gave me this opportunity for the sake of the old man's face. If I hadn't had this experience at Manchester United, I would have suffered a very embarrassing defeat if I had coached a team with my temperament. George shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed smile, "During my five years at Manchester United, I have learned a lot of useful things from you, such as how to manage a top team so that the players can still be hungry for glory and trophies despite their success, rather than watching them sit on the laurels of their past achievements." ”

Learning how to better manage a big club, how to socialize with the biggest names in the team, and how to keep the dressing room in a good atmosphere when the big names are all about Bobby Robson recommending George Nelson, a proud protégé, to Ferguson in the first place. After all, compared to Robson Sr., who has only been in charge of the top club for one season at Barcelona, Ferguson, who single-handedly created the Manchester United dynasty, clearly has more say in this regard.

Old Robson's hard work was not in vain. George Nelson, who thought he had learned something, soon came to Manchester United because he was not familiar with the team's business, and he learned that what he had learned from Robson Sr. was not enough to really take charge of a big team!

Yelang was arrogant, sitting in a well and watching the sky, and put it on George Nelson, who had just come out of Robson Sr., it was almost tailor-made for him.

So, under the education of the Scottish, George Nelson put away the pride in his body, and gradually learned how to integrate into a big club, how to pinch the team into a whole, how to put pressure on the referee and the FA and even UEFA to fight for more interests and benefits for the team.

Although George still has objections to some of Ferguson's actions (such as expelling Stam who revealed the situation in the dressing room in his autobiography, and scolding Victoria for making Becky "degenerate", etc.), he also has to admit that without Ferguson, Manchester United would not have become the Premier League hegemon it is today, and achieved the treble in the 98-99 season!

This season's Premier League title is George Nelson's final answer after five years of study in Manchester. And judging by the results, it is clear that it did not disappoint those who had extremely high expectations for his future. It can even be said that George's answer sheet has far exceeded their expectations at the beginning!

Suffice it to say, the five-season experience at Manchester United has been an invaluable experience and an asset for George Nelson. At the same time, this experience will serve him for life in his future coaching career and even in dealing with people!

Note: The historical Viscount Horatio H. Nelson had no descendants and died without heirs (illegitimate children are not counted), so Nelson's viscount title and the baronial title canonized in 1798 were severed upon his death. However, Nelson's other baronial title in 1801, as well as the Duke of Brontë in the Double Sicily, was succeeded by his brother Reverend William Nelson, as the second Lord Nelson and the second Duke of Brontë. Shortly after Nelson's death, the British Crown honored him with the title of Viscount and Earl on his brother on 25 November 1805, making him the first Earl of Nelson. In this book, this history changes, and Horatio Nelson leaves behind his direct descendants, so Nelson's titles of earl and viscount are naturally granted by the British royal family to his descendants and have been passed down to the lineage, which is the main character of this book.
