Chapter 264: Coming to Dortmund
"Dortmund sent me an invitation? Didn't they just win the league? Summer's job at Dortmund is good, so don't be kidding, Ivan. Dick said unconcernedly to one of his two assistants, Ivan Perez.
"I'm not kidding, boss." Perez said anxiously: "They did send us an invitation, hoping to discuss with you about becoming the manager of Dortmund!" ”
"Really?" Dick accepted the invitation letter handed by Perez with some disbelief - it was clearly written that Dortmund Club invited Dick to negotiate, hoping to invite Dick to become the head coach of Dortmund, and if it was inconvenient for Mr. Dick to go to Germany, then Dortmund would have someone come to negotiate.
"It's quite sincere." Dick nodded slightly, and then asked Marriner, "Robert, what do you think?" ”
"Borussia Dortmund is also a top team, the status is not much worse than Atletico Madrid, if you think that coaching in the Bundesliga will not make your reputation diminish, then it doesn't hurt to go to the Bundesliga." Marriner said after a moment's thought.
"Hmm......" Dick fell into deep thought, he didn't pay much attention to the Bundesliga before, but he knew Dortmund's name, and he also admired this team - especially the yellow jersey of this team is a very beautiful kind.
Thinking about it carefully, La Liga and the Premier League do not have a suitable position, and no one has come to invite them these days, after all, Dick cannot be a spare tire for any giants, in this case, the Bundesliga is also a good place, at least much better than Ligue 1, and the presence of Ligue 1 is too weak.
Later, when Mourinho was about to leave Real Madrid, it was rumored that Paris Saint-Germain planned to invite Mourinho to the owner, and there was no problem with the money, and Mourinho did not have this idea, because the presence of Ligue 1 was too low, and Ibrahimovic could only rely on a few amazing goals to shine when he went to Paris, and Thiago Silva, who was particularly famous before, had almost no news after going to Ligue 1, and was only occasionally mentioned......
Even Ancelotti's fame gradually subsided after going to Ligue 1, which is a good place to retire, but for Dick, who is on the rise, going to Ligue 1 is tantamount to digging his own grave.
The Bundesliga is still much better than the French league in this regard, although it is better to go to Dortmund than to Bayern, but Bayern's current position at Heathfield is still very stable, and if leading Dortmund can overthrow Bayern, then it will be more fulfilling......
"Isn't Borussia Dortmund's manager Summer? He just won the championship, how could he get out of class? Dick thought about it and asked, he didn't pay attention to the changes in European football during this time, and the sudden dismissal of class before also gave him a lot of trouble, so that he could not prepare for the next things well, and generally speaking, the giants who want to change the coach must have contacted the object very early, and it will be discussed after a long negotiation, and he suddenly quit the class, no wonder no giants want him.
"It was Samer who resigned because he accepted an offer from the German Football Association (DFB) to work in the DFB's youth football development department." Marriner immediately replied that as an assistant coach, he was concerned about current events.
"I see...... Dick nodded, "In that case, they are also very sincere, I can go there...... It's not that you have to coach Borussia Dortmund, don't you? ”
Marina and Perez laughed at the same time, now they are Dick's only team, Marina is Dick's assistant coach, and Perez and Tapia are his assistants, Dick has a job, they do it well, otherwise even if Dick pays for them, they will feel bored.
"Write back to Borussia Dortmund...... Today is June 30th...... I will arrive in Dortmund on July 2 and discuss the specifics. ”
****************************************
Dortmund, the seventh largest city in Germany, is an important industrial city in the whole of Germany, industry and beer manufacturing are their most famous industries, they are Germany's coal and steel base, beer brewing center and water and land transportation hub.
However, recently, Dortmund's industry has gradually changed, gradually changing from an industrial city to a city dominated by insurance, retail, logistics and microtechnology, which has also begun to become more active, and now the entire city has a population of more than 600,000 people, of which nearly a third are Dortmund fans, Westfa-Lun and Ao Go to Schalke, are the most enthusiastic stadiums in the Bundesliga.
When Dick arrived at Dortmund with Marina and two assistants, they were greeted by Dortmund's head of football, former Germany international Michael Zolke.
"Hello, Mr. Dick." Zolke warmly shook hands with Dirk: "I'm so glad you can come to Dortmund!" ”
Zolke said it to Dick in English, and Dick smiled slightly: "I hope our negotiations will go smoothly in the future, you know, I am an idle person." ”
"That's why we've invited you...... You are the only one who can keep Dortmund up to where they are now! ”
As he spoke, Zolke let Dick into the bus.
Dick smiled slightly—just keep it? That's too much to underestimate me.
However, Zorke's position is the director of football, which is equivalent to the technical director of a Spanish club in the Bundesliga, and is often in charge of team transfers and other powers, and Dick completely controlled this power when he was in Atletico Madrid, if he wants to coach Dortmund now, he must not let his power be reduced, otherwise he will not leave Atletico Madrid - the fuse of leaving Atletico Madrid, isn't it because Hill Jr. wants to cut his power?
It's just that Zolke is very enthusiastic, and he doesn't seem to have a mustard at all, which makes Dick mutter instead - would he rather give up the power in his hands, or want Dick to just lead the team? If it's the latter, then Dick can only say sorry, coaching Dortmund hasn't made him so excited, if even power can't be guaranteed, he would rather go to Ligue 1, which has a worse influence, you must know that Ligue 1 has a lot of good seedlings to dig up, and can also show his ability to develop young players and use the resources at hand to achieve the best results!
Besides, France seems to be full of beautiful women, which is where his Dick can show his talents!
Rushing all the way to the headquarters of the Dortmund club at 50 Stobelari Strasse in the city of Dortmund, Dick got out of the car with three of his men, and then walked into the headquarters of the Dortmund club under the leadership of Zorke.
Marriner and two assistants were invited to the lounge to rest, while Dick walked with Zorge into the Dortmund club's conference room with their heads held high, where he was greeted by the club's president, Nepsom, and general manager, Mayer.
"Mr. Dick, welcome to Dortmund!" Nepom greeted him as soon as possible - now it is not Dick begging to go to Dortmund to be the head coach, but Dortmund is eager to find a top manager to lead them to do well in the next Champions Cup, Dick's results in the Champions Cup last season gave him enough confidence, Dortmund wants to survive, and only to meet Dick's enough requirements, even if the next economic crisis is inevitable, they must get some honors before the economic crisis comes, so that the fans can be satisfied, to get through those gray days.
The rules of German football are very simple, make money, go bankrupt, pay off debts...... If you have money, you can only get by, and if you don't have money, Dortmund, who won two consecutive Bundesliga championships and the Champions Cup, is not a legend, at that time they spent more money than Bayern, and the top five players in the entire Bundesliga salary are all in Dortmund - Sameer, Coral , Paul Sousa, Andreas Müller, Chap Issat, plus Ruyter, Heinrich, Zolke, Riddle, Ricken, Lambert, Heerrich and other top players, in order to achieve such outstanding honors!
And now Dortmund is running out of money, and according to their current team situation and income comparison, at most in a year or two, they will have a deficit, and a deficit in the Bundesliga means cutting expenses, selling stars cheaply, until they make up for the deficit, and with the amount of Dortmund's deficit, the next may be an astronomical amount......
Last season, Dortmund did not count the transfer market, the total expenditure for the whole season was 90 million euros, and the total income was only 60 million euros, and their ticket income for a season was only 20 million euros...... If the deficit is not covered, the entire club will be liquidated and bankrupt, the players will leave on free transfer, and the club will start playing again from the lowest regional league in the German professional league – just like Fiorentina will follow.
Historically, if it weren't for the club's strong man who broke his wrist and got the cash to cover the deficit two years later with a ten-year ticket as collateral, Dortmund would have become a team close to an amateur team like Fiorentina, and then climb the ladder hard!
Dortmund's management was frustrated to find that this situation was almost inevitable, and Dortmund's fans understood this after the excitement of winning the title, and they are now looking at the next game with an almost hopeless mood......
If Dick agrees to join Borussia Dortmund, they may be able to rejoice for a while in the next year or two before bankruptcy is on the horizon.
That's why Dortmund's management thought of bringing in Dick, who has been the most legendary manager in Europe in the past two seasons, and his ability to win trophies has been unanimously recognized by everyone, although everyone knows that he spends his money fiercely, but he is a manager who can spend money for money!
"If Dick agrees to coach Dortmund, even if it is to sell iron, I have to provide him with enough transfer funds, as for the power or something, he will give it all to him, at least for these two years, and let Dortmund fans enjoy the happy time of 97 again!" Nebom thought to himself.
That's why Zolke was so enthusiastic about Dick - for the last two years, it wasn't a big deal to give up power for the time being......
