"Claudio, what do you mean by that?" Looking at a letter placed in front of his desk, Zhuang Mingge asked with some puzzlement.

"Boss, I'm going to quit my job as Fiorentina manager." Ranieri sat on the sofa, still with his usual cautious look, and said, "I've won enough accolades in the past three years in Florence, it's time for a change of scenery." ”

“weishenme？ Are you unhappy with the new contract that the club has offered you? After the Champions Cup final, Zhuang Mingge signaled Antonioni to start contract renewal negotiations with Ranieri, because Fiorentina's outstanding performance this season made the tinkerer directly enter the ranks of Italian coaches, so in Ranieri's contract renewal negotiations, Antonioni They gave a very generous renewal condition.

The contract period is three years, the base salary is three million US dollars, and each championship has a different amount of rewards, which is almost unique in all shijie.

"No, I'm very grateful to the club for offering me such a lucrative contract, I've lived in the city of Florence for three years and watched the team rise from the second division to the top of Europe, and I won't forget the fact that Fiorentina became the first team in the history of Italian football to win the treble during my time in charge."

Ranieri changed his mind when he said this.

"However, I still have self-knowledge, the reason why Fiorentina was able to win the treble this season is more because of the weakness of the team's competitors on all fronts, Milan and Parma are in a difficult rebuilding period at this time, the two teams of Roma City have obvious shortcomings, Sampdoria self-destructed the Great Wall, Juventus was also cut off by the owner of Ferrara, there are always huge holes in the defense, so Fiorentina can defend the league title so easily...... I've had enough honours in Fiorentina over the years, and after winning the treble this season, I don't think I'm capable of leading this Fiorentina team anymore. ”

Zhuang Mingge finally understood the meaning of Ranieri's words, and it turned out that the tinkerer chose to resign because Fiorentina had been too good this season, and his own reputation had reached a peak. However, when the water is full, the moon is full and the moon is lost, although there is no such sentence abroad, it does not prevent Ranieri from not hearing something similar to it.

Fans are forgetful, and they will even attack anyone they once loved wildly because of a team's poor performance at a certain time. It is precisely for this reason that Ranieri is worried that once Fiorentina's record fluctuates for some reason next season, the "forgetful" fans will stab him in the back, and such an outcome is obviously unwilling for Ranieri to accept.

After all, the competition in the football coaching industry is also fierce, and there are often well-known coaches who fade out of people's sight because of a poor season record, such as the famous "pipe coach" Bealzot (the head coach of the 1982 Shijie Cup winning team) and the 90 Shijie Cup Italian coach Vecchini, they all smashed their own signboards because they did not retire in time, so they retired from the coaching world.

It's different to change the coach of a different team, as long as Ranieri's record is reasonable, fans will also look at him with a relatively tolerant attitude, thinking that he is still very capable, and he didn't win the championship just because he was still adapting to the new environment......

Depend on! If you see a good thing, you can't take risks easily, and it's really a choice that someone with Ranieri's character would make! Zhuang Mingge slandered, but he still actively spoke out to retain the other party, after all, in the case of several generals transferring and leaving the team one after another, it is best to maintain the position of head coach.

Although Zhuang Mingge made a reservation, but Ranieri still insisted on leaving, seeing Ranieri's attitude, Zhuang Mingge had to agree to terminate the contract peacefully with the tinker, in order to reward Ranieri in Florence in the past few years of conscientious work attitude and excellent team leadership, Zhuang Mingge did not charge a penny of liquidated damages.

However, since Ranieri himself chose to leave on his own initiative, the first thing Zhuang Mingge needs to deal with has changed from the team's recruitment to finding a new head coach for Fiorentina, and Zhuang Mingge already has his own plans in mind.

The next day, when Ranieri officially held a press conference to announce that he would not continue to coach Fiorentina next season, the brains of fans who were still immersed in Fiorentina's treble feat were suddenly thrown into chaos.

At the same time, Fiorentina FC also released official news, saying that the former team manager Claudio Ranieri recently negotiated with the club's senior management, and the two sides decided to part amicably, Fiorentina thanked Coach Ranieri for his great contribution to Fiorentina in the past three years......

What's going on? All Fiorentina fans are full of doubts at this time, obviously the team has just won the treble, it is a good time to develop its ambitions to build a football dynasty belonging to Fiorentina, why has the season just ended, it was rumored that Cripa was leaving, Tacchinadi was leaving, and Roberto Baggio was leaving?

And now, even the team's head coach Ranieri has announced his departure!

The successive blows made Fiorentina fans a little dizzy, and at the same time they were dissatisfied with the club's inaction in the transfer market: without strong reinforcements, they just let go of several main players and the team's head coach one after another, what kind of trouble is this?!

As a result, Fiorentina fans, unhappy with the club's slow recruitment move, gathered outside the Fiorentina headquarters building the day after Ranieri announced his resignation, holding up banners and slogans demanding an explanation from the club's hierarchy.

And this is less than half a month since Fiorentina lifted the European Champions Cup trophy at the Olympic Stadium.

Fiorentina's nemesis, Juventus' mouthpiece Torino Sport, gloated at the joke, arguing that the Purple Lily's players and club hierarchy had lost their desire for glory after the team won the treble, and it was only a matter of time before the team fell from the altar and fell apart.

However, Zhuang Mingge, the de facto controller of Fiorentina and the president of the club, did not have the leisure to explain what to do with the fans and the media, and he was trying to persuade a middle-aged man in a villa on the outskirts of Milan.

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