Another week has passed since the initial restructuring of the club, and everything within Fiorentina is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In terms of commercial development, since Fiorentina has just been relegated from Serie A, Kenyon, who is in charge of commercial development, did not make any big moves, but just tried to get some good commercial sponsorship for Fiorentina, but the deadline was only set for one year, because he believed what Zhuang Mingge said to him, Fiorentina will return to Serie A at the end of next season.

Antonioni put together a list of recommended players and a list of potential players for scouts to see as quickly as possible, and handed it over to Zhuang Mingge.

Zhuang Mingge carefully browsed the list on one side, circled all the players who were famous in later generations, and finally made a decision after some consideration......

Three days later, in the chairman's office at Fiorentina's headquarters, Zhuang Mingge summoned Antonioni and Poirot for a small meeting on the team's recruitment work for next season.

"Giancarlo, what's the mood of the players at the moment?" Zhuang Mingge took the lead in opening the topic.

"It's not good, after all, the team has been relegated this year and a lot of the main players have approached me to allow them to move to other teams; But Gabriel [Barty] and Stefan [Effenberg] told me they had decided to stay with the team and some of the substitutes said the same thing, but I hope the club will keep some of the main players who will be the biggest player for us to get back to Serie A next season. ”

"Hehe, since they don't want to stay here, let's let them go." Zhuang Mingge is unimpressed by so many players who want to leave Fiorentina, and their choice is understandable, after all, people go to high places, who likes to play in the lower leagues?

Antonioni looked at Zhuang Mingge incredulously.

"Did I hear you right, boss?" Antonioni, the oldest member of the group, swallowed with difficulty, "You mean, except for these players who have publicly expressed their willingness to stay with the team, everyone else will be sold?" ”

"That's right, Gabriel (Barty) and Stefan (Effenberg) have expressed their willingness to play in Serie B with the team, as a local player, if you can't guarantee your loyalty to Fiorentina, it's better to sell it now, and everyone can get together and disperse." Zhuang Mingge said firmly.

"However, the team's players for next season ......"

Zhuang Mingge waved his hand to interrupt what Antonioni was about to say, and handed a list to Poirot, the new transfer director sitting next to Antonioni: "As for the players, I have selected them from the list that Giancarlo [Antonioni] sent to me before, their names are all on this piece of paper, and I hope to see their names appear on the team's squad when the team starts training." ”

Poirot took the list and carefully browsed the names that appeared on the list, and Antonioni leaned over to satisfy his curiosity:

Francisco? Toldo, 2 December 1971, goalkeeper, Ravenna;

Mateo? Guadalben, 5 June 1974, goalkeeper, Verona;

Gianluca? Pexoto, 11 August 1970, full-back, Bologna;

Mark? Iuliano, 12 August 1973, centre-back, Bologna;

Aldo? Filicano, 21 March 1967, centre-back, Cagliari;

Alessandro? Billindley, 12 November 1974, full-back, Empoli;

Luigi? Di Biagio, 3 June 1971, midfielder, Foggia;

Giuliano? Gianni Keida, 21 September 1974, midfielder, Sora;

Federico? Jonti, 30 August 1971, midfielder, Perugia;

Damiano? Tomasi, 17 May 1974, midfielder, Verona;

Eugenio? Collini, 30 July 1970, midfielder, Sampdoria;

Philip? Inzaghi, 9 August 1973, forward, Albino Lefe;

Christian? Vieri, 12 July 1973, forward, Pisa;

Vincenzo? Montella, 18 June 1974, forward, Empoli;

After reading the list, Antonioni put forward his opinion: "Boss, your list is made up of young players in the majority, and you can see your determination to rebuild the team here, but I have a little doubt, do you think they have the quality to lead the team to promotion?" ”

Zhuang Mingge smiled bitterly in his heart: Can I still tell you that your boss and I have crossed over from the future, and the worst of these people on the list can also serve as the main force of most teams in Serie A?

But Zhuang Mingge still has to find a reasonable reason.

"Some of these players have already proven themselves in the professional league, some are just stepping into the door of the professional league, I admit that it is a bit risky to promote young people in a big way, but in Serie B next season, as long as one or two of these people are successful, we Fiorentina will be of infinite use, and as for the results, I don't think the remaining substitutes in the team will not be able to deal with the second division."

Antonioni pondered for a while and felt that Zhuang Mingge's words were correct, so he agreed with Zhuang Mingge's idea. 、

At the same time, Poirot also said that he would complete all the transfer work within the specified time, and he would do his best not to let Zhuang Mingge suffer in terms of transfer fees.

The difference between Poirot and Antonioni can be seen from here: Poirot is a member of the Corleone family, he is only responsible for Zhuang Mingge, everything is subject to Zhuang Mingge's opinion, and he is responsible for specific operations; Antonioni, on the other hand, was more interested in Florence itself.

"Also, due to the resignation of the previous head coach Agropi, the head coach of the team also needs to be confirmed, otherwise the team's preparation for the season will be a big problem."

Zhuang Mingge thought about it carefully, he remembered that at this time in his previous life, Fiorentina was relegated, and it was the "tinker" Ranieri who resulted in this hot potato and became famous in Florence, but he didn't remember where Ranieri was coaching now, so he had to ask Antonioni, who knew Italian football well.

"Ranieri, he is currently in charge of the Napoli team and I heard that the Napoli board intends to terminate his contract due to the poor results of last season." Antonioni replied quickly, and at the same time, he also heard the meaning of Zhuang Mingge's words, "Boss, are you going to hire Ranieri to coach Fiorentina?" ”

"Yes, Ranieri has a lot of coaching experience, and although he is a little conservative in his tactical thinking, he is our best choice at the moment." Zhuang Mingge said this, but he was secretly sighing in his heart, although he has an international A-level coaching certificate, but he has not fully digested those memories, for coaching the team, he is now a paper tiger, "Also, Giancarlo, don't call me boss in non-public places in the future, just call me Antonio." ”

"Haode, Antonio."

Although Zhuang Mingge is very aware of the strength of these players he is advocating for the introduction, this does not mean that Ranieri can see it. In addition, it can be seen from the coaching resume of Ranieri that the "tinkerer" is a good hand at rectifying the team and leading the team out of the trough, but he lacks a domineering spirit that can lead the team to glory.

"It seems that this year is the time to learn all kinds of knowledge about coaching the team." Zhuang Mingge secretly made up his mind.
