Manchester City's new contract with Wan Sheng has long been agreed.

The contract is for a four-year period, with a salary of £3 million in the first year and a 20 per cent increase in each year thereafter, meaning that in the fourth year, the salary alone will reach £4.8 million, with an average salary of £3.9 million per year.

This salary is definitely among the best in the world, higher than most top league managers.

In England, it is only worse than Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho and England coach Eriksen, and higher than Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Liverpool coach Benitez, but the contracts of Ferguson and Wenger cannot be judged by salary alone, and the contracts of the two are directly linked to the income of their respective clubs that year.

Although the media said that Mourinho was the highest-paid manager in the world, in fact, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger were the real highest-paid, because they were like members of the club's board of directors and could directly share the club's earnings for the year.

That's what a really top manager looks like.

Of course, the two have been coaching at their respective clubs for more than a decade, so they will naturally enjoy better treatment, and for Wan Sheng, who has only managed a season in the top league and has only just coached a team, even if he has achieved very good results, it is already very good to have this kind of salary, which is more than three times his salary in Derbyshire.

And that's just the salary.

In addition, the contract also stipulates that bonuses are more complicated.

Kevin Tagore is still very convinced of Wansheng's coaching ability, so in terms of salary, he actually did not fight for Wansheng, but in terms of bonuses, he fought for a lot of terms, such as one of which is 'Manchester City wins the Premier League, the club will pay an additional 1 million pounds in bonuses', and then 'Manchester City qualifies for the Champions League next year. The club has to pay an additional £500,000 in prize money, and the threshold set by these bonuses is Wan Sheng's team performance, and the better Manchester City's results, the more Wan Sheng's prize money.

It's actually good for both parties.

Manchester City poached Wansheng to build the team first, but they certainly have no objection to Wansheng leading the team to play well, and it is a bit too much to win the league title directly, but if they can enter the top four of the league, or qualify for the Champions League next year, this will bring millions of pounds to the club, and it is nothing to take out some of them as bonuses.

Not to mention. In case of a champion!?

That's not just a matter of £1 million!

With the FA giving more than £10 million to the Premier League champions alone, plus more TV sharing and other influences next year, what is the £1 million bonus?

For salary, bonuses or something, Wan Sheng feels that he can match his own results, he cares more about the right as a manager, especially the team's transfer power, he is Derby County, who left because of the transfer right, and will naturally ask for absolute transfer rights when he comes to Manchester City.

Wald did not object to giving Wansheng absolute rights, but this was not stipulated in the contract.

"There are a lot of issues involved in transfers. I don't know if it's the funding, but also the coordination of the various departments, and as the president of the club, I can guarantee that there will be no problems. Wald said.

Wan Sheng thought about it and didn't insist.

It's like Waddell said. It is difficult to stipulate the transfer power in the contract, which requires the trust of the club president, as in Chelsea, Mourinho has the transfer right. Whatever players he needs, the club will do their best to buy them.

But this is more because of the trust of the club's president, Roman Abramovich, rather than what is stipulated in his contract.

Wan Sheng felt that Wald would not deceive himself in this regard. After all, Manchester City invited themselves to develop the team, if they change the other party's views due to their poor coaching results, or other reasons, even if the contract stipulates that it is useless, to put it bluntly, the head coach is only the 'CEO', not the chairman, and no matter how powerful he is, he is still an employee rather than a boss.

After the contract was signed, Wald introduced Wansheng to other management.

Manchester City's board of directors is complicated, and Martin holds the most shares, but he doesn't work for the club, so Wald, who has a good relationship with Martin and is also the majority shareholder of the club, became the chairman of the club.

It's relatively simple within the Manchester City club.

Chairman Wald is the biggest leader, and there are two other people who have more power and can be considered high-level, one is Bill Nix as a manager, and the other is Marwood, the youth director.

Of the three, Wald, as chairman, certainly has the most power, but he generally doesn't care.

Bee Nix, as Walde's confidant and general manager of the club, is almost equivalent to the CEO of Manchester City FC, and his power is quite large, and the commercial and competitive aspects of the club are under the control of the Knicks.

Malwood is the head of youth, and as the name suggests, he is in charge of the youth training area.

European football, youth training is still very important, for example, the English league has regulations, regular professional clubs, must have a complete youth training system, so as to have the qualifications to become a professional club, such as the Premier League team, the regulations are more stringent, and the establishment of a complete youth training system, not only can invest money, but also need time and accumulation.

Whether it is Manchester United, Arsenal, or Liverpool, these giants with heritage, the youth training system is quite important.

This is the case for big clubs, and even more so for those small teams, where youth training occupies a large part of the resources of professional clubs, so Malwood's rights are also very large.

In the previous Manchester City club, the three high-level personnel had a clear division of labor.

Now that there is a Wan Sheng, the Knicks must share some rights, and in addition, Wan Sheng, as the head coach, naturally has to meddle in some youth training matters, after all, the youth team is the cradle of talent for the first team.

The two welcomed Wan Sheng's arrival.

"Hope we can have a good time together!" The Knicks took the initiative to find Wansheng to shake hands with a smile.

Malwood hadn't done anything, but Wan Sheng and he had known each other for a long time, so there was no need to be too polite.

After getting to know each other, it was the official signing ceremony, Manchester City FC attached great importance to the signing of Wan Sheng, after all, Wan Sheng is currently one of the hottest coaches in England, and his arrival can give Manchester City some prestige and attract more media attention.

So they held a grand signing ceremony. And notified a lot of media to be there.

The news spread quickly

Since Wan Sheng left Derbyshire, there has been a lot of speculation about where he will go next.

Nobody thinks Wansheng can't find a 'new job' because his achievements at Derby County are obvious to all, as everyone thinks, like the Newcastle media have been linking Wansheng with Newcastle United, and they want Wansheng to come and coach.

But there are a lot of rumors, and no one has any exact news about where Wansheng is going.

Now Manchester City FC has actually announced that Wansheng is going to join and will hold a signing welcome ceremony?

Many media reporters were stunned.

After reacting, they became excited, and then hurriedly sent someone to do the interview.

Soon the media got the exact news that Wan Sheng was indeed going to join Manchester City. And the two sides have already agreed, and even the contract has been signed in private, the only thing missing is a 'welcome banquet'-like signing ceremony.

So they frantically went to Manchester City FC to do interviews, wanting to get first-hand information

Wansheng is not interested in the signing ceremony like a 'show', but in order to get the support of more people and more fans, he can only follow the show.

At the signing ceremony, he took the podium as if he were coming for the first time and shook hands with Wald. Then he signed his name on that 'fake contract'.

At this moment, all the reporters and fan representatives broke out.

Manchester City fans welcomed Wan Sheng's arrival together, and media reporters frantically took pictures and did interviews.

At the same time, Wan Sheng's heart has actually flown to Derbyshire.

It's not that he's attached to Derbyshire. Or maybe he's attached to someone or something, he wants to bring his coaching team with him.

Wansheng actually has no coaching team, and the only one who can leave with him is Diamares. The two had already agreed that as long as Wan Sheng left, they would definitely take Diamares with him.

It's a different story with former Derby County coaches like Beal and Keese, who have been in Derby for a long time. has already integrated into the team, and they have all started a family in Big Derby County, so naturally they will not leave with Wansheng.

It's another coach, Walton Cooper, who is a little undecided.

Cooper was invited to the club by him, but the two didn't really communicate much, and he didn't know if Cooper would choose to stay at the Derby County club or leave with him.

He hoped it was the latter.

In that case, he, Diamares, plus Cooper, is equivalent to three people of three people, and he can barely be regarded as a coaching staff, right?

As the head coach, Wansheng naturally wanted to form his own coaching staff.

My coaching staff understands each other better, the division of labor is clearer, and I don't have to re-run with new acquaintances, so I can naturally lead the team to train and play better.

He wanted to ask Cooper what he thought in person, and before that, of course, he had to talk to Diamares.

Wan Sheng called.

"Gail, do you remember our agreement?"

Diamares on the other end of the phone panted, "Is it Wansheng?" What the? What conventions? ”

"Let's explore the world together, this is our agreement!" Wansheng said humorously.

Diamares didn't understand even more, and maybe he couldn't sort out his thoughts at this time, because a female voice was urging complainingly, "Gail, let that bastard on the other side call again in a while!" ”

"Oh, okay, baby!"

When Wan Sheng heard this, he realized that he had disturbed others, he smiled bitterly and took the initiative to put down the phone, and suddenly felt that it was better to talk to Diamares in person.

Diamares said that he would join him, but that was an agreement two years ago, and it was better to invite the other party into his coaching staff to go to the Great Derby County. (To be continued......)
