Chapter 464: Officially Initiated
After struggling for a few minutes, Otti raised his head and reached out to Vincent, "Mr. Vincent, welcome to Valencia. ”
Fan Shang smiled, and also reached out to shake Ottie's hand, "Thank you, Mr. General Manager." ”
"We'll go back and prepare the contract right away, as you say, and then we'll get in touch with Mr. François and try to sign it as soon as possible." Otti said.
"Well, as soon as possible, there is a lot of preparation to be made." Fan Shang also nodded, when he went to a new club, he first had to clean up his original personnel, and then bring in some people who could be used by himself. Fan Shang has played in the qualifiers of European competitions or cups directly without playing in the pre-season warm-up games several times before, and this time Fan Shang hopes that this kind of insufficient warm-up will not happen. "By the way, Mr. Otti, if I'm not mistaken, Valencia hasn't terminated his contract with Mr. Cooper yet."
"For now, but you'll definitely see him leave in two days. Mr. Vincent has another thing you may be interested in, Cooper already knows that he is going to leave class, so he is also actively contacting the next family, it is said that the closest to him is your old club Inter Milan, if both sides sign normally it will be very interesting. Ottie remembered something interesting and revealed it to Vincent.
But Fan Shang didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, just smiled, "But next year, our two teams will not meet, Inter Milan is in the Champions League, and we Valencia can only play in the League Cup." Oh, not necessarily, if Inter Milan are lucky enough to finish third in the Champions League group stage, maybe there is still a possibility of meeting in the League Cup, haha"
After Otti left, Fan Shang estimated that there should not be much change in his going to Valencia, and then Fan Shang had already started to pack things at home, in fact, he didn't need to pack too much, many of the luggage sent back by Fan Shang from Milan had not been unpacked, and now it was just over sending it directly to Valencia.
Valencia's actions were quite fast, and the next day there were newspaper reports in the media that Cooper was sacked, and François also received a call from Valencia's side, and the club had officially terminated Cooper's contract.
However, the specific termination fee was not disclosed by the media and Valencia, and Fan Shang felt that it should not be less, but it was not much more, after all, Cooper's contract will expire next year.
Vincent packed his bags and flew to Valencia with François.
Valencia is the third largest city in Spain, the second largest seaport, known as the "Sunshine City" in Europe, located in the southeast of Spain, east of the sea, backed by a vast plain, evergreen all year round, pleasant climate, known as "a pearl on the west coast of the Mediterranean".
François and Vincent didn't have time to enjoy the city's views, so they got off the plane and headed straight for the Valencia club, then plunged headlong into the general manager's office, and an hour later, Otti's assistant came out of the office in a hurry and began to prepare for the press conference.
A few minutes after he entered the office, Vincent, Otti and François walked out of the office, laughing and talking. The three of them did not go directly to the press conference, but also went to the office of the chairman Kolkos, who had no rights in the game and rarely appeared at the club, but today he received a notice from Otti to come to the club and waited to chat with Fan Shang and fulfill his obligations as the president.
Fan Shang also knew that the chairman didn't care about anything, but he still communicated with him very friendly for a few minutes, and then Fan Shang and the others left, and the chairman also left the club immediately, and he had already done his part.
Fan Shang and the three of them had already walked into the press conference at this time, and this time the preparations were relatively hasty, so the media only went to a few local in Valencia, and a few Spanish mainstream media such as Marca, "As", and "Daily Sports" only sent some intern reporters to take a look.
At the beginning, these media reporters were still talking to each other, a little indifferent, it is estimated that Valencia bought a few new people from somewhere, and now that the press conference is open, it is definitely impossible to be a big man in such a hurry.
But when Fan Shang stepped into the press conference hall, the noisy arena suddenly fell silent, and the next few seconds once again caused a louder discussion.
The media reporters in Valencia began to open their voice recorders and notebooks, and the trainee reporters hurried to call the editors of the newspapers in Valencia to inform them of this important matter.
These reporters also understand that Vincent can appear at this press conference with Otti, and with Cooper just leaving yesterday, it is obvious that today's events are obvious, and Vincent is going to take charge of Valencia.
Sure enough, as soon as Otti opened his mouth, he said that Valencia had signed a contract with Vincent, who officially became the head coach of Valencia and would lead Valencia to domestic and international competitions next season.
Vincent also said that he is very happy to be the head coach of Valencia and hopes that he can bring some different changes to Valencia.
When some media asked Fan Shang if he received the world's first annual salary when he was at Inter Milan last year, whether he is still like this when he comes to Valencia. Otti said, "Of course Mr. Vincent deserves the first annual salary, so we Valencia give Mr. Vincent the same treatment, and during the contract period, if other managers receive a higher annual salary than Mr. Vincent is now, we at Valencia will also match." ”
After listening to Ottie's words, the reporters below began to whisper again, and there is a clause that allows Vincent to keep the world's first annual salary, which is considered big news.
When asked about Vincent's goals in Valencia, although Vincent said to Otti that he would win the league title, but for the media, Vincent has always been low-key, "Hehe, I will do my best to help Valencia, and it depends on God's will to go wherever I go." "According to the words of the Celestial Empire, it is to do one's best and obey the destiny of heaven.
The press conference was not long, but the content was still relatively substantial and explosive, so as soon as it was over, the reporters went back to catch up with the script.
Fan Shang stayed in the hotel that night, but the next day the Valencia Club rented a villa close to the Valencia training base for Fan Shang, and it took less than 5 minutes to walk to the training ground, which disrupted Fan Shang's plan to buy a good car, but it was good and convenient enough.
