Chapter 940: New Coach

"cough!"

In the Hall of Honor at the Glory Stadium in Southampton, Yang Huan looked at the exhibition hall decorated like a museum, shook his head and let out a long sigh, and sighed helplessly: "After all, it's still space!"

This made the executive chairman Nicola Cortes, the CEO Ron Gourley, and the technical director Les Reed who were standing next to Master Huan all looked at each other, and then showed helpless smiles.

My dear father, Master Huan, in the past few years, you have won the championship all the time, are you still free?

Throughout the past five seasons, Southampton has won almost all the honors that can be obtained. How many teams dream of this?

If this is not enough, then teams such as Manchester United and Manchester City simply commit suicide by caesarean section.

Of course, Master Huan's sighs were not completely unreasonable.

In the final analysis, the past of the saints is not brilliant enough, lacks foundation, and there are fewer championship trophies, which are basically obtained in recent years, so the exhibition hall seems empty.

So much so that they had to use some other decorations to make up for it, such as what Ibrahimovic scored in the Champions League final.

However, there is also an upside to this.

If the history of saints in the past is blank, like a blank sheet of paper, then Master Huan can easily paint it with his own color, so that when everyone mentions saints, they immediately think of Master Huan.

There are gains and losses!

"Hey, I said, shouldn't we pay due attention to the results of the youth team? Let the youth team win a few championship trophies to make up the number?" Yang Huan turned his head and asked everyone.

The three giants of the saints are all helpless, and Master Huan sometimes behaves like this.

"Master Huan, it seems that you said before that the most important thing for the youth team is to cultivate talents, not grades?"

Nicola Cortez reminded in a low voice timidly.

Master Huan, you must never pick up a brick and smash yourself in the foot, smashing your own signboard!

"Yeah, Master Huan!" Technical Director Les Reed also chimed in, "Our youth team has been promoted again in League Two this season, and will play League One next season. This result is quite good. .

"

Among the teams that were promoted from League C to League Two last season, only the Southampton youth team was a Premier League youth team, and this season the Saints youth team was promoted from League Two again, which shows the strength of the Saints' youth training .

You know, there are a lot of restrictions on the registration of this kind of youth team to play in the professional league.

Teams that have played a certain number of times in the first team, such as Luke Shaw, Chambers and Prowse, cannot represent the youth team. Therefore, the Saints youth team plays with a solid young lineup.

But young rookies such as Yuri Tielemans, Halilovic, Patrick Roberts and Marco Lopez have also emerged this season, which has also led to the Saints youth team's performance in the lower leagues being quite eye-catching.

Yang Huan felt depressed when he saw these two guys who were serious about him.

Don't you two know that this young master hates serious people the most?

But... Seeing that what you said is reasonable, I don't care about it with you.

Who made me always advertise myself as a peerless good boss who accepts good words?

"As for it, I mean to say!" Yang Huan complained in a muttering voice.

Nicola Cortez and Les Reed looked at each other, both amused.

Sometimes, Master Huan is quite young.

"Master Huan, in fact, we really need to strengthen the construction of the youth team. After all, we will play League One next season." Les Reid said with a smile.

League one?

Yang Huan nodded, "Yes, next season will be playing in League One."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan suddenly found it funny and shook his head, "Five years ago, when I first came to Southampton, we were playing League One, but five years later, we are still playing League One, but this time It's our youth team, tell me, this world is really interesting, right?"

Both Nicola Cortez and Les Reed kept nodding, they were all witnesses to this period of history.

Five years ago, they all served in the Saints. At that time, who would have thought that the Saints could have what they are today?

But five years were taken away unknowingly, and everyone was surprised to find that the saint had completely changed before he knew it, yet all this happened so naturally.

Looking at Young Master Huan in front of him again, he still looks the same as five years ago, it seems that nothing has changed.

However, he unknowingly caused all the people and things around him to undergo earth-shaking changes.

He is really an amazing person!

"League One is our root, we must strengthen the strength of the youth team, even if we can't be promoted, at least we must keep our qualifications for League One and we can't be relegated!" Yang Huan gave instructions.

To say that the training value of the League One is still very strong, and it is not lost to the Championship, but the competition is more relaxed than the Championship. After all, the Championship is all for the Premier League, and the pressure of competition is too great. up.

"Understood!" Les Reed nodded.

He, the technical director, was in charge of the youth team, so when Master Huan mentioned the strategy, he had to be responsible for drawing up specific plans and implementing them.

"Let's go, go outside!"

…………

…………

When Yang Huan led the core management team and appeared at the gate of the Glory Stadium, all the reporters and fans gathered around.

The players who were still being interviewed by the reporters just now also walked behind them one by one, trying to build momentum for them. In the eyes of the media reporters, this is really a bit powerful.

I really didn't see that the saints now have the image of a wealthy team!

Yang Huan walked out of the crowd, walked to the main podium, stood still, smiled slightly, and leaned in front of the microphone.

"Everyone, friends from the press, all Saints fans, welcome to Glory Square!"

There was a burst of warm applause below.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for your continued support."

Suddenly, there was another burst of applause.

"Everyone has seen it just now. It is estimated that a total of 400,000 fans from all over the world participated in our championship celebration. I am here, on behalf of Southampton, to thank everyone for their support and love!"

There was another burst of warmer applause below.

"Taking advantage of this rare opportunity today, I want to announce two things to you."

This time, there was a dead silence below, and everyone listened carefully.

"First of all, as everyone should know, our coach, Mr. Marcelo Bielsa,"

Yang Huan turned around, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Bielsa, who nodded in greeting.

"He will no longer be the team's head coach from now on, but he will continue to serve as the team's tactical consultant."

"I am here, on behalf of the Saints management and fans, to thank Marcelo for his outstanding contributions to our team over the past five years. He is our legend and we will all remember and miss you. Marcelo!"

When Yang Huan said this, he stepped back from the podium, walked behind him, and gave Bielsa a big hug.

Bielsa also came up to greet him, and after warmly hugging Yang Huan, he also walked onto the main podium under Yang Huan's signal.

"Thank you, Master Huan, thank you and the management of Southampton for your support and affirmation of my work in the past five years. I like this place and the fans here. I will never leave the Saints!"

There was an extremely warm applause below.

"I want to clarify that many rumors about my leaving the team are false reports. There is no problem between me, Master Huan and the management. We have cooperated very well."

"The reason why I am leaving, as I said last night at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, is that I want to rest, have more time and energy, and devote myself to the job that interests me, as the manager of a Premier League team. There's too much pressure."

Many reporters below nodded their heads.

In the past five years, Bielsa's hair has almost all turned white.

The head coach of the Premier League is indeed a high-paying job, but the pressure is beyond anyone's imagination.

"As for the media reports that I will switch to other teams, this is not true. At least in the next three years, I have no idea of ​​coaching again, because this time, I hope to have a complete rest, relax, and focus on some things Interested exploration and research."

"Finally...thank you all!"

Bielsa smiled slightly at the media and fans at the scene, then turned and retreated.

"Thanks Marcelo!"

Yang Huan stepped onto the main podium again and stood in front of everyone.

"Next, I will announce another decision. Mr. Marcelo Bielsa's resignation is indeed regrettable, but we must make preparations as soon as possible, so I solemnly announce here..."

Upon hearing this, all the reporters below were in an uproar.

This is the rhythm of announcing the new coach!

My goodness, the new head coach is done so quickly?

Southampton is too efficient, right?

"...We have officially hired the Italian head coach, Mr. Carlo Ancelotti, as the head coach of our team for the new season!" Yang Huan announced sonorously.

Everyone below was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Ancelotti?

God, didn't the Italian just come down from the Real Madrid coaching position?

Turn around and take refuge in the saints?

Soon some reporters caught it immediately, and immediately connected all kinds of rumors in the past period of time.

Obviously, Bielsa's departure is a long-established thing. Even if the Saints successfully defend the Premier League and Champions League, it will not change this fact.

Therefore, Southampton has been looking for and looking for Bielsa's successor.

It should have belonged to Guardiola, but for some unknown reason, the Spaniard stayed in Bayern Munich.

As soon as he heard that Ancelotti was dismissed from Real Madrid, the Saints immediately shifted their goals and pursued the famous Italian coach.

That is Ancelotti, the world's leading champion coach, and has always been a popular candidate for Bielsa's successor.

What's more, Ancelotti has coached Chelsea for two years before and is no stranger to the Premier League.

Let him take over the Saints, I believe the fans can rest assured.

"Carroll is an outstanding world coach. We have reason to believe and expect that under his hands, Southampton can achieve even better and more brilliant results."

After listening to Yang Huan's words, the reporters below couldn't help but have wild imaginations.

The most amazing thing about Ancelotti is undoubtedly his achievements in the Champions League. From Milan to Real Madrid, Ancelotti's achievements in the Champions League have always been very eye-catching.

Next season's Champions League final will be held at the Glory Stadium in Southampton.

In other words, Southampton will play at home.

With the current strength of the Saints, there is no reason for Yang Huan and the management not to want to compete for the St. Bradley Cup at home, right?

What kind of glory would it be if we could achieve three consecutive championships?

This is simply going to be recorded in the history books!

What's more, Ancelotti's coaching ability is not bad, especially the control of the locker room.

You know, the current saints are also full of superstars.

Therefore, considering the above factors, it is not surprising that Southampton chose Ancelotti.

However, it is estimated that those opponents who are looking forward to the collapse of Southampton may cry when they hear this news.
