Chapter 7 Coaching Staff

The new contract between Manchester City and Wansheng has long been negotiated.

The contract is signed for four years, the salary in the first year reaches 3 million pounds, and there will be an increase of 20% every year after that, which means that in the fourth year, the salary alone can reach 4.8 million pounds , the average annual salary also reached 3.9 million pounds.

This salary level is definitely the world's top, higher than most top-level league coaches.

In England, it is only worse than Chelsea coach Mourinho and England coach Eriksen, and higher than Manchester United coach Ferguson, Arsenal coach Wenger and Liverpool coach Benitez, but Ferguson and Wenger's However, the contract can't be just based on salary. The contracts of the two are directly linked to the income of their respective clubs that year.

Although it is said in the media that Mourinho is the highest-paid manager in the world, in fact, Ferguson and Wenger are really the highest-paid, because they are like members of the club's board of directors and can directly share the club's income for the year.

This is the treatment of a real top coach.

Of course, the two have coached their respective clubs for more than ten years, so they will naturally enjoy better treatment. For Wansheng, he has just coached the top league for one season, and he has just coached a team. This is a very good salary, which is more than three times his salary at Derby County.

It's just salary.

In addition, the contract also stipulates that the bonus is 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 more, but in terms of bonuses, he fought for a lot of terms, such as one of them "Manchester City won the Premier League". To win the title, the club will pay an extra £1 million in bonuses'. Then there is "Manchester City qualified for the Champions League next year, and the club has to pay an additional 500,000 pounds". The threshold set for these bonuses is Wansheng's team performance. The better Manchester City's performance, the more Wansheng's bonus.

This actually benefits both parties.

Manchester City poached Wansheng to build the team first. But they certainly have no objection to Wansheng leading the team to achieve good results. Winning the league title directly is a bit too much, but if you can enter the top four in the league, or qualify for the Champions League next year, it will bring millions of pounds to the club, and it is nothing to give some Wansheng as a bonus. .

Not to mention, just in case...champion! ?

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

The FA alone will give the Premier League champion more than 10 million pounds in bonus, plus the next year will get more TV broadcasts and other influences. What's up with the £1m prize?

......

For salary and bonuses. Wan Sheng feels that he can match his own achievements. What he cares more about is his rights as a head coach, especially the transfer power of the team. He is from Derby County, who left because of the transfer rights. When he comes to Manchester City, he will naturally ask Absolute transfer rights.

Wald is not opposed to giving Wansheng absolute rights, but this is not stipulated in the contract.

"The transfer involves a lot of problems, I don't know if it is funding, but also the coordination of various departments. As the chairman of the club, I can guarantee that there will be no problems." Vald said.

Wan Sheng thought about it and didn't insist.

Like Waddell said. It is difficult to stipulate the transfer authority in the contract, which requires the trust of the club chairman. For example, in Chelsea, Mourinho has the transfer authority. Whatever players he needs, the club will try their best to buy them.

But that's more because of the trust of club president Roman Abramovich than anything in his contract.

Wan Sheng feels that Vard will not deceive himself in this regard. After all, Manchester City invited him to develop the team. If his coaching performance is not good or other reasons change the opponent's opinion, even if the contract has provisions, it is useless. To put it bluntly, the head coach is only the 'CEO', not the chairman. No matter how much power, he is still the employee, not the boss.

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

The board of directors of Manchester City Club is very complicated. Martin holds the most shares, but he does not work in the club, so he has a good relationship with Martin and Wald, who is also a major shareholder of the club, became the chairman of the club.

It is relatively simple within the Manchester City club.

Chairman Wald is the biggest leader, and there are two more powerful, can be counted as high-level, one is the manager of the than - Nicks, and the other is the youth director Marwood.

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

Bi-Knicks, as Walder's cronie, is also the general manager of the club, almost equivalent to the CEO of Manchester City Club, and his rights are quite large. The business and athletic aspects of the club belong to the Knicks.

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

In 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 in order to qualify as professional clubs. It is more stringent, and establishing a complete youth training system is not only about investing money, but also requires time and accumulation.

Whether it is Manchester United, Arsenal, or Liverpool, the youth training system is very important for these rich and powerful teams.

This is the case for giant clubs, and even more so for those small teams. 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 Wansheng is included, the Knicks will have to assign some rights. In addition, Wansheng, as the head coach, naturally has to intervene in some youth training matters. After all, the youth team is the cradle of supplying talents for the first team.

The two of them welcomed Wan Sheng's arrival.

"I hope we can have a good cooperation!" The Knicks took the initiative to look for Wan Sheng to shake hands with a smile.

Malwood didn't do 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 with the two, it is the official signing ceremony. The Manchester City club attaches great importance to the signing of Wansheng. After all, Wansheng is one of the hottest coaches in England at present. His arrival can give Manchester City some prestige. Attract more media attention.

So they held a grand signing ceremony and notified a lot of media to be present.

The news spread quickly.

......

Since Wan Sheng left Derby County, there has been a lot of speculation about his next destination.

No one would think that Man Sheng couldn't find a 'new job', because his record at Derby County is obvious to all, as everyone thinks. For example, the Newcastle media have been linking Wansheng and Newcastle United. They wish Wansheng could coach.

But there are a lot of rumors, and no one has exact information on where Wansheng is going.

Now the Manchester City club 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 a special person to do the interview.

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

So they went crazy to the Manchester City club to do interviews. Want to get first hand news.

......

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

At the signing ceremony, as if he had come for the first time, he stepped onto the podium and shook hands with Walder cordially, and then signed his name on the 'fake contract'.

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

Manchester City fans welcome the arrival of Wansheng. Media reporters are frantically taking pictures and doing interviews.

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

He was not attached to Derby County. Or he is attached to someone or something. He hopes to bring his coaching team to Manchester City.

In fact, Wan Sheng has no coaching team. The only one who can leave with him is Diamares. The two agreed a long time ago that as long as Wan Sheng leaves, they will definitely take Diamares with him.

The former Derby County coaches such as Bill and Keith are different. They have been in Derby County for a long time, they have already been integrated into the team, and they have all started a family in Greater Derby County. Naturally, they will not leave with Wansheng.

On the other hand, another coach, Walton Cooper, Wansheng was a little undecided.

Cooper was invited to the club by him, but there was not much communication between the two. He didn't know whether Cooper chose to stay at the Derby County club or left with him.

He hoped it was the latter.

In that case, he, Diamares, and Cooper are equal to three people... three people, can barely be regarded as a coaching staff, right?

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

Your own coaching staff understands each other better and has a clearer division of labor. You don’t need to re-run with new people, so you can naturally lead the team to train and compete better.

He wanted to ask Cooper's thoughts in person, and, of course, to speak to Diamares before that.

Wansheng called.

"Gail, do you remember our agreement?"

Diamares on the other end of the phone was panting, "Wan Sheng? What? What agreement?"

"Traveling the world together, this is our agreement!" Wan Sheng said witty.

Diamares didn't understand even more, and maybe he couldn't clear his mind at this time, because a female voice was urging sadly, "Gail, let the bastard on the opposite side call back later!"

"Oh, okay, baby!"

When Wan Sheng heard this, he realized that he had disturbed others. He took the initiative to put down the phone with a wry smile, and suddenly felt that it would be better to talk to Diamares in person.

Diamares said that he would be with him, but after all, it was an agreement two years ago. If you want to invite the other party into his coaching staff, it is better to go to Derby County. (To be continued ~^~)
