Chapter 327: Capello Joins!

"Coach Fabio, I sincerely invite you to coach Fiorentina, I believe that under your leadership, Fiorentina will definitely achieve greater glory!"

"Mr. Corleone, I beg your pardon for not agreeing. In any case, the Milan club has a good understanding of me, and I can't get over this hurdle psychologically to coach other Serie A teams so quickly. Although he was very interested in coaching such a strong team as Fiorentina, the middle-aged man hesitated for a while and still refused Zhuang Mingge's invitation.

"Don't you, Mr. Capello, want to prove yourself in front of Berlusconi?" After hearing Capello's reply to refuse to coach, Zhuang Mingge did not give up, but continued to lobby the other party, trying to change the other party's mind.

That's right, the person Zhuang Mingge is trying to persuade is none other than Fabio Capello, one of the two managers who created the Milan dynasty.

In Zhuang Mingge's view, Ranieri's successor must be proficient in tactical changes, and at the same time, he must have a certain skill to lead the team and be able to suppress the big-name players in the Fiorentina first team, especially "dangerous elements" such as Effenberg and Di Biagio. Otherwise, internal friction alone is likely to make Fiorentina empty next season.

Among Zhuang Mingge's first-vote coaches, Heathfield is in the honeymoon period with Dortmund at this time, so he naturally will not consider the possibility of moving to Fiorentina; Trapattoni has just taken over Bayern Munich, and the veteran coach is preparing to make a big splash in German football, and it is impossible to switch to Fiorentina without playing a single official game, which would go against his work ethic as a manager.

Rehhagel's performance at Bayern Munich proved that he can't lead a giant team with too many stars, and Van Gaal's stinky temper and inflexible thinking will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many players if he is put in Fiorentina. Let's let him learn to pay attention to defense......

As a result, the contract with AC Milan has been terminated, and Fabio Capello, who is at home, is the best choice for Fiorentina at the moment.

When Capello heard Zhuang Mingge say this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes secretly.

Although Capello started his coaching career with AC Milan, and it was with his excellent record in Milan that he made him one of the top Italian coaches, so it is unlikely that Capello has no complaints about AC Milan. Not to mention, let's talk about the resignation incident two months ago, the apparent reason is that Capello resigned because of the poor record of leading the team, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the fuse of the whole incident is Berlusconi's big mouth that said "any coach of AC Milan can lead the team to win the championship".

It is obviously impossible to say that Capello has no intention of retaliating against the other party. As for whether Capello will not want to coach an Italian team other than AC Milan? Zhuang Mingge said that in his previous life, the gold medal coach had at least coached Roma and Juventus, so this situation is obviously unlikely.

After a long ideological struggle, in the end, the arrogant Capello was attracted by the huge temptation of "slapping Berlusconi in the face", and agreed to Zhuang Mingge's invitation to serve as the head coach of Fiorentina FC.

When Fabio Capello signed his name on a four-year contract with a $2 million salary, the two sides immediately moved on to the next topic: Fiorentina's summer signings.

"With Fiorentina having just won the treble this season, and despite the departure of Roberto Baggio and others, the team is still in the squad for the treble, so I don't think the team needs to go on a big deal in the summer transfer market, just focus on strengthening in some key positions." As a professional football coach, it is clear that Capello is quite concerned about the actions of various clubs, especially Fiorentina, who invited him to coach, Capello spent a whole night studying the current situation of this club, and it was the time to pour out all these preparations.

"So, Fabio, do you have any specific thoughts on the team's recruitment?" Although the team has already drafted the recruitment, and the tradition of Italian clubs has always been that the head coach must not ask about the specific transfer of the team, Zhuang Mingge still asked Capello very cautiously, after all, this manager is not like Ranieri who can be pinch and knead at will, if he doesn't like any player, he will really make a move to let the player sit in the stands for a season.

"First of all, the central defender position, the combination of Ferrara and Nesta is the best in the shijie, there is no doubt about that, but due to the departure of Filicano, the depth of the bench in the team's back line has dropped significantly, and although Verjoward can still maintain a good competitive form, the 37-year-old is obviously not able to cope with too many games; Materazzi is a good central defender, but with his current strength, he can only be used as a last substitute in Fiorentina, I think it is better to find a way to loan him out and let him participate in more games to accumulate experience; So, I think the club needs to be looking for a reliable player to be the first substitute in the centre-back position. ”

Capello did not take the opportunity to recommend the player he fancied to Zhuang Mingge, after all, Zhuang Mingge has never made a parallel sale in the transfer market over the years, and has also tapped out a lot of new stars with extraordinary potential, and his vicious vision has been affirmed by many industry insiders, so Capello is quite relieved that this owner will definitely not bring him a lot of players he doesn't need like Berlusconi, who thinks he is smart.

"Well, I think so too." Zhuang Mingge said in agreement, and at the same time handed Capello a piece of information, "Fabio, how about you look at this player?" Not up to your criteria? ”

Capello took the document and read it carefully: "Jap Stam, central defender, born on July 17, 1972, currently plays for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, 1.91 meters tall, the advantages are strong body, fierce tackles, excellent headers, and the disadvantage is slow turning......"

Capello kept flipping through this information, and the more he looked at the player named Stam, he liked it more and more, and he thought that the Dutch central defender was enough to make up for one of the biggest weaknesses of the Fiorentina backline, that is, the lack of physical confrontation, after all, Ferrara and Nesta are both defenders who defend with defensive jishu and judgment, and once they encounter a strong center forward who eats by their bodies, it is really hard to say.

And the appearance of Stam will effectively strengthen this.

At the same time, Capello is also secretly surprised by Fiorentina's scouting system, according to the information in his hand, Stam was a player who only transferred to PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer from Willem II last year, and is not well known in the Netherlands, but Fiorentina has already established a detailed file.

Seeing this information, Capello now has more confidence to take Fiorentina well and give Berlusconi a resounding slap in the face! Let him know that the Milan dynasty is not something that any coach can build!
