PS: In the new week, continue to ask for recommendation votes here, I hope you can continue to support you, thank you~
Some people may ask, why not bring Wenger, who has a good personal relationship with Zhuang Mingge, or Carlo Ancelotti, who is not in a good position at Juventus, to Fiorentina to coach?
Regarding Wenger and Ancelotti, not to mention their coaching level, but judging from their personality and coaching qualifications, it is difficult to suppress the big men in the Fiorentina team led by Effenberg.
That's right, although Arsene Wenger and Ancelotti are not much worse than Heynckes in terms of ability alone, they don't have enough capital to make these big-name stars in the team completely obey their arrangements, and if they don't do it well, the coach will be overshadowed by the players.
Therefore, whether a manager can succeed in the big club, in addition to whether his own coaching level is excellent, whether he can establish enough prestige in the dressing room to let the players seriously implement the tactics he has laid out, is also very important.
The former's downfall at Juventus this season is indeed due to Pierrot's unexpected season reimbursement, and on the other hand, because the stars led by Zidane and Deschamps did not buy him at all when the team's results were poor; Not to mention the latter, Zhuang Mingge thought of Wenger's various weaknesses when he coached at Arsenal in the future, and felt that the reason why the professor was able to win so many trophies in the early days of coaching Arsenal was really thanks to those iron-blooded tough guys left over from the Graham era, as well as Vieira, a student brought out by Adams.
By the way, the reason why Ancelotti was able to gain a foothold in AC Milan was largely due to the fact that he had befriended Maldini, the spiritual leader of the Rossoneri, when he was a player.
Heynckes' situation is a little different, he was a super goalscorer when he was a player, and he also made a big mark after changing careers as a head coach, and he has enough capital for players to listen to him after his successes at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayern Munich, Tenerife and Real Madrid.
What's more, Heynckes and Effenberg are both from Mengladbach, and I believe that the German Tiger will not disobey the arrangement of this old-timer whom he has always respected, and it will also help him to control the dressing room.
Moreover, Heynckes does not have a set of tactical play, and he tends to fine-tune the team's existing staffing and established tactics, rather than tearing down and rebuilding from scratch regardless of 3721, which is also very much in line with Fiorentina's current needs.
Therefore, considering the above aspects, Zhuang Mingge believes that Heynckes is the most suitable candidate for Florence.
Antonioni was quick to act, and after the meeting to decide who to be the next manager, he did not wait for the next day to talk to Heynckes, but immediately called the other party after getting the contact information, and also faxed the prepared work contract directly to the other party.
After receiving a call from the Fiorentina club and promising that the invitation would be considered, Heynckes, who put down the phone, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this time, the German coach, who has been at home since being sacked by Real Madrid, has a total of two offers, one of which has just been faxed from Fiorentina, and the salary and working package offered are among the best in Europe - after all, not all clubs are willing to offer a manager a three-year contract with an annual salary of $3 million.
As for the other invitation, it came from Benfica club, who were challenged by Brazilian striker Judel's Porto this season and lost the league title they saw as their bag, the Portuguese giants decisively sacked their previous manager and set their sights on Heynckes.
Although there is a very clear gap between the offers of the two clubs, Heynckes did not directly agree to Fiorentina's offer, because he has always been quite cautious in choosing who to work for and does not like to take risks, so he tends to make a more secure choice in his opinion, rather than constantly climbing to the heights like other famous managers.
In Heynckes' eyes, Fiorentina, who had just been terminated from Fabio Capello's contract, were not the right team for him to coach - at Real Madrid, he was fed up with balancing the local and foreign factions in the dressing room, and could not devote all his energy to football.
This is also why in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, Heynckes actually gave up continuing to coach the giants after leading Real Madrid to win the Champions Cup, and instead ran to pick up the coaching whip of Benfica and Bilbao - he was really tormented by the never-ending dressing room struggle within the giants.
However, when the next day came, what happened on this day made Heynckes completely dispel these hesitations and uneasiness in his heart!
Because early in the morning, Zhuang Mingge brought his almighty secretary Karin to his current residence in Heynckes and personally came to visit the future coach he was optimistic about!
"Chairman Corleone, it's a pleasure to meet you." For Zhuang Mingge's visit, Heynckes was quite surprised. After all, the person in front of him is the chairman of Florence and the chairman of Adidas (this is Zhuang Mingge's identity disclosed to the public), and it stands to reason that there must be a lot of things to death.
Such a big man with a lot of opportunities would actually come here in person to invite him to coach Florence, no matter what, it is enough to give Heynckes face, and it also shows that the sincerity of Florence is indeed very sufficient. In contrast, Benfica has not sent a person in charge to negotiate with Heynckes so far, and only made a few phone calls and sent a contract, which is obviously much worse in terms of sincerity.
Thinking of this, the German looked at Zhuang Mingge, who was about the same age as his son, and the balance in his heart naturally began to tilt to the side of Florence, if it weren't for the concern that Purple Lily's dressing room would be as factional as Real Madrid, I'm afraid Heynckes would agree to the other party's invitation now.
However, when the two sides began to enter into a conversation, especially when Zhuang Mingge mentioned that the current leader of the dressing room in Florence was Heynckes' "apprentice" Effenberg at Borussia Mönchenbach, the German suddenly realized that his concerns were really unnecessary.
What kind of player is Effenberg, and isn't it clear to Heynckes as his senior? Since this unruly tiger can sit in the position of the leader of the dressing room, it means that the atmosphere in the Fiorentina team must be guaranteed - otherwise Effenberg would not have to fight with others on the training ground every day?
As a result, only five minutes into the conversation, Heynckes announced that he had surrendered, obediently signed his name on the work contract, and became the new head coach of the Fiorentina first team.
