Chapter 1017 Volume 8 The Clouds Are Calm and the Wind Is Light, He's Back

Tang En flipped through his phone book at home. There were not many people there, because he didn't have many friends himself, but there were a lot of enemies who wished him to die sooner.

He hasn't replied to Evan Daugherty yet, but that's not a problem. As long as he nods, Evan Daugherty will be happy before it's too late. How could he refuse?

Before that, he needs to do some things, such as find a satisfactory assistant for himself. Twain's fifteen-year coaching career was inseparable from an excellent assistant, which had become his routine. An excellent assistant can save him a lot of time and energy. He is not the kind of head coach who does everything by himself. He even has to go into battle in person for training.

Des Walker has just followed him to lead the team to win the world championship, and now his value has doubled. After he left the national team, Walker also left, but he did not retire, but was invited by Leeds United, which is determined to regain its glory Going to be the head coach.

Tang is still the head coach of Notts County, and now his team has played in the British Championship for two seasons. From the initial barely relegation to the current stable top ten, the progress has been remarkable. And letting him be an assistant coach for him is a bit too inferior.

Tang En fixed his gaze on David Chrislake's name.

Chris Lack, who left the Forest team, did not do well. He was the head coach of Bolton for half a season, but was dismissed because of his poor record. Later, he was mixed in many Championship teams, and he also coached abroad. However, they have not achieved the same results as they did in the Forest team. Not all coaches can regain their glory after changing places, and coaches also have the attribute of "adaptability". Obviously, Chris Lack's adaptability is not strong, at least not as good as Des Walker and Don.

Chris Rack is now at home. Thinking of the days of working with him, Tang En felt that those were really good memories. Such an outstanding talent cannot be wasted at home. So he called Chris Lack, hoping he hadn't changed his phone number in the past four years.

※ ※ ※

Chris Lack feels that he is very embarrassed now. As a head coach, he has never been able to lead the team to get good results. The results when he was the interim head coach of the Forest team may be his most glorious moment. Although the head coach is not happy, but now he is a little reluctant to let him be an assistant coach again. He is used to French food, who wants to eat McDonald's KFC all day long? He always felt that he should be able to see some achievements in the position of head coach, but he lacked good opportunities. Going to be an assistant coach again? Isn't that self-deprecating?

Now he is at home, spending time with his wife and children. Fortunately, he still had some savings as a coach before. When he was with Tang En, he won a lot of bonuses every season. However, over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people who have been sitting and eating, and it has become more and more difficult to support a family of four. He was thinking about going out to work again, but he had invitation letters from several clubs, three of which wanted him to be the head coach, but they were all low-level league teams, and the conditions offered were very general. In addition, a Premier League club asked him to be an assistant coach. Everyone in the circle knows that his performance as an assistant coach is better than that of the head coach...

Chris Rack is not Tang En. Although he is fifty-four years old now, he has not thought of retiring yet.

Just when he was indecisive and didn't know which club he should accept the invitation from, he received a call from Tang En.

"It's great that you didn't change your number, David!" Tang En's voice on the phone was very happy.

"Tony?" Chris Lark was a little surprised - what was he calling himself for?

"Are you still in Nottingham? Can we come out and have a cup of coffee together?" Tang En extended an invitation.

"Uh, no, I'm in London."

"You moved?" Tang En was a little surprised.

"Of course, since I left Forest, I've moved."

"It's really bad..." Tang En muttered.

"You called me out of the blue, what's the matter, Tony?"

"Well, that's how it is." Tang En thought about it, "Are you interested in becoming an assistant coach again, David?"

"Assistant coach?" Chris Lark thought that Dunn was entrusted by someone to be a lobbyist, such as Nottingham Forest. Heard that Freddie wasn't doing very well there, he desperately needed a helper, but let himself be Freddie's assistant coach... "No, Tony. I don't want to be an assistant coach now."

"It's a pity..." Tang En on the other end of the phone was obviously disappointed by Chris Lak's answer, and he whispered, "It seems that I have to find someone else to partner with me..."

This sentence was very low, and Tang En was talking to himself completely, but he forgot to say goodbye to Chris Lak politely first, and then hung up the phone before complaining.

This sentence was heard by Chris Rack verbatim, and his first reaction was surprise.

Then he heard Tang En say with some disappointment: "I'm sorry to bother you, David. Although you rejected me, I still hope that when I go to London, I can invite you to have a cup of... coffee together. "

After speaking, he was about to hang up the phone. Only then did Chris Rack react enough, he quickly shouted: "Wait! Wait, Tony! Wait..."

"Huh? Anything else, David?"

Twain no longer focused on Chris Rack, and he more or less knew what Chris Rack was thinking. It was really difficult for someone who was used to being a head coach to want to be an assistant coach. A person like Queiroz went to Real Madrid to be a failed head coach for a season. If it weren't for a head coach of Ferguson's level, he would definitely not be willing to return to Manchester United to be an assistant coach. So Twain doesn't blame Chris Rack, after all, water flows to low places, people go to high places...

Now he is continuing to look through the phone book, hoping to find a suitable assistant coach candidate.

"Who are you looking for as an assistant coach?" Chris Lack asked. In fact, an answer has already been generated in his heart, but he is not sure.

"Me, who else can I have?" Tang En replied casually.

"Didn't you retire! Wait..." Chris Lak's head suddenly became clear. "I heard there is such a rumor that you will coach Nottingham Forest again?"

"It's not a rumor now, David." Dunn laughed.

Chris Lack jumped up from his chair: "Are you really going to coach Nottingham Forest again!"

"It's not April Fool's Day, David."

"Are you looking for an assistant coach?"

"Of course. You've already asked."

"I'll go!" Chris Lak answered without hesitation this time, which surprised Tang En.

"Didn't you just want to be an assistant coach, David?"

"That depends on who it's for, ha!" Chris Lak's mood suddenly improved, and all the previous worries about the future disappeared. "Being your assistant coach, I have nothing to say! It's not me bragging, other people want to ask me to be an assistant coach, and I don't have the qualifications yet!"

Tang En touched his nose, he was a little embarrassed to be praised by Chris Lark. This is really a great compliment...

"When will we start working? Fortunately, my house in Nottingham hasn't been sold yet, so I can get it back from the agent..." As soon as it was mentioned that he would cooperate with Tang En to return to Nottingham Forest, Chris Lak became energetic.

But Tang En wanted to pour cold water on him: "Hey, David, don't get excited. I don't plan to be the captain of the forest this time."

"ah?"

"You also know that the current situation of the Forest team is very bad. Freddie lacks experience and prestige and cannot lead the Forest team out of the predicament. Evan Doughty found me and hoped that I could go back and lead the team out of the predicament. Of course I I also don’t want the Forest team to become the laughing stock of others, but you know my body well, and I won’t be able to stay in this position for a long time. My idea is to only work for the Forest team until the end of this season…”

"Half a season?" Chris Lack was a little surprised.

"Well, I just came out to fight the fire, not to create another dynasty."

"That's it..." Chris Lack felt a little pity, but Tony was right, his body was indeed like a time bomb, and if he was willing to come out to fight the fire, he already had a deep affection for the Forest team.

"But it's nothing. Anyway, I'll be your assistant coach. I'll work as long as you want." Chris Rack followed Twain with determination. The most glorious period of his coaching career was as an assistant coach for Twain. In those ten years, he was satisfied to be able to return to Tang En's side again and coach the Forest team together. The future is not considered for the time being.

When Tang En heard Chris Lak say this, he really wanted to shout back: "Good brother!" But Chris Lak probably couldn't understand the subtlety of this sentence for a while, so he just said: "Thank you, David. Got it You, I have nothing to worry about."

"Hey, of course, we are golden partners!" Chris Lak was also in a good mood and joked.

After finishing the phone call with Twain, Chris Lark sat on the chair. After the joy, memories of working with Twain in the past came to his mind uncontrollably, making him full of expectations for the next half season.

Tony is back, I really want to see the reactions of those opponents!

※ ※ ※

Before Tang En had called Evan back, there was another eye-catching personnel change at the top of Nottingham Forest Club.

The marketing manager, Alan Adams, who is solely responsible for negotiating acquisitions with the UAE consortium, submitted his resignation letter to Evan Dougherty, and the club chairman Evan Dalgety agreed to his resignation application.

This is what the foreign media said. Those who know the inside information know that Evan Dalgety actually fired Alan Adams. This move surprised many people, because just two days ago, the UAE consortium, which had been silent for more than two weeks, finally decided to restart the acquisition negotiations. It was good news for Dee, but at this juncture, he fired Alan Adams who was in charge of this matter...

It's really strange, I don't know what Evan Dalgety is thinking.

Only Tang En may know some reason. Evan knew that his relationship with Alan Adams had always been at odds. He dismissed Alan Adams at this time. It should be a statement to Twain, to show that no one in the club would come back to obstruct his work...

It feels a bit like a vote of honor. But Dunn didn't care if Alan was still in the forest team.

"I'm only coaching Forest until the end of the season, Evan." On the phone, he said to Evan Dougherty.

There was a moment of silence over there, obviously he did not expect Tang En to only coach this season.

"Just like you never thought of being the chairman of the Forest Club for a lifetime, I also didn't think of being the head coach of the Forest team for a lifetime. I promised to come back this time not for you, Evan. I didn't want me to be alone. The team brought up has become a joke of others, just look at the comments on the Forest team in those tabloids, we are already a joke." Tang En explained, "I will lead the team through the rest of the season smoothly. Time, and then help you find a suitable successor, and then I will retire to spend time with my wife and children. What do you think? Anyway, I think this plan is pretty good."

After he said that, can Evan still say "I don't feel good at all"? You must know that Evan is begging Tang En now, not Tang En begging him, so Tang En grasped Evan's psychology and threw out his own conditions. If Evan can accept it, then they will cooperate for the second time, and they can't just shoot and break up. And Dunn wasn't worried at all that Evan wouldn't accept it...

Sure enough, Evan agreed to Tang En's conditions. He did have another plan in mind: anyway, there is still more than half a year before the end of the season, and no one knows what will happen in the middle. Maybe after Tang En returned to the coaching bench of the Forest team and found the enthusiasm he had before, he was unwilling to leave again? No matter how bad it is, after such a long time, Evan slowly figured out a way to persuade him to change his mind, right?

Tang En didn't care about Evan's small calculations. Like George Wood, he is also quite stubborn. As long as he made a decision, unless he changed his mind, it would be useless for others to persuade him.

Now that he has decided to coach the Forest team again, when will he come back?

Evan hoped that the sooner the better, but Tang En was not in a hurry, because before that, he had to do a few things. Only now does he have that time, once he becomes the head coach, there is no way to escape.

The specific date of starting coaching can be temporarily postponed, and Eastwood can continue to support it for a short time. Anyway, now that Tang En has confirmed his return, Evan Dalgety doesn't care about his recent results.

But this news should be announced as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts. At the same time, it also restores the confidence of those sponsors. Tang En had no objection to this.

So on the next day, November 12th, every netizen who frequently visits Nottingham Forest's official website will find an obvious change. The homepage of the website has been replaced with a full-page advertisement.

Tang En's huge photo was the background of the advertisement, which wrote in a very provocative tone:

Yes, the king is back!

"...for the head coaches of the other nineteen clubs in the Premier League, there is bad news..." Such an eye-catching news was also broadcast on the TV news later, the male announcer said with a smile, It's just that in the eyes of some people, no matter how you look at this smile, it seems to have a slightly joking taste. "Tony Twain is back!"

When there was an earthquake in English football because of Twain's return, the person who caused all this had already left England and embarked on a journey to Spain alone.

PS, Tang En is back, asking for a monthly ticket and a reward~~~! ! !
