Chapter 273 1 Forced to Abdicate

Hugo originally planned to take his parents to travel to China this summer, but Zeman was dismissed, and Hugo was very active and wanted to take charge himself. At the same time, this was the first transfer window after being promoted to Serie A, which was crucial for whether they could gain a foothold in Serie A next season, so Hugo had to postpone his trip. He could only say sorry to his parents and maybe he could spare time next summer.

Trapani's coaching position has been undecided, but Lombardo seems confident. After the last round of the league, the club was busy with celebrations and ignored the work of selecting a coach, but a few days later, some rumors gradually appeared in the media.

"According to reliable sources, Mr. Colemani intends to personally lead the team to compete in the Serie A in the new season!"

The new sports website broke the news first, and the source of the news is unknown. After Lombardo learned the news, he was a little restless. He also wanted to lead the team, but Gigi could do anything. Lombardo himself worked as a soldier under Hugo for a few days. It is hard to guarantee that the boss would not do so. There has been no news for so long, and the credibility of such rumors is still quite high.

He quickly asked the club's general manager Giorgio Esposito for the news. Giorgio hesitated and was vague. Lombardo knew that this was true. Lombardo was really angry. I have made contributions. I deserve to continue to be the head coach of the team. Certificate? ! The certificate is nothing. Can't I get it in August? !

"Attilio, you are also a veteran of the team! If Gigi really wants to be the head coach, you can also continue to stay and assist him. The club needs you very much!" Giorgio said a hypothetical.

Stay?! Stay for a ball?! Lombardo hung up the phone in a hurry without saying anything. He was extremely disappointed with the outcome. From Giorgio's words, Lombardo also got a message that maybe Hugo would not take charge, but he would choose a head coach with rich experience in relegation instead of a rookie coach.

Forget it! I'd better leave. The club has disappointed me too much! Lombardo made up his mind within two days and submitted his resignation to the club.

Giorgio actually didn't want Lombardo to leave. Lombardo also showed his ability to some extent. At least when Guardiola was used later, Lombardo's persistence was rewarded, proving that this guy still has some ability.

But when the resignation letter was handed to Hugo, Hugo allowed it without saying anything. Lombardo was a stumbling block and had too much ambition. Hugo was not happy to keep him as an assistant coach at all. Moreover, Lombardo's departure just sent a signal to the outside world that I was going to take the stage!

Seeing that Hugo approved Lombardo's resignation without saying anything, and didn't even say a word to retain him, Giorgio knew that Hugo was determined to climb up.

"Gigi, we have to be cautious about choosing a coach! I think we should still consider the actual situation. We need an experienced head coach!" Giorgio persuaded tactfully.

"Hehe, you said you were just going to stop me from taking office!" Hugo sneered.

Giorgio was speechless.

"Are you really going to do it yourself?!" Victor took his uncle's family to the United States to visit Alda. He also paid close attention to the news. Seeing that the media claimed that Hugo intended to take charge of the team himself, he called Hugo.

"Can you tell me clearly whether you support or oppose it?!"

"Then of course I support it!"

"Really?!"

"It couldn't be more true, but you must guarantee my main position when you take office. Is this little request okay?!" Victor said with a laugh.

"Why do you support me?!" Hugo was very curious. Are brothers different? ! Otherwise, he would have known that he had privately told the club's top management, including Seli, Giorgio, and Alex, that all of them were against it.

"Why?! What's the reason?! Do you think I really care about the championship?! Care about the national team and Serie A?! Fuck that bullshit, I play football for fun, I like playing football! Why did we acquire Trapani?! It's for fun! You want to be the head coach, so do it! Who can stop you from being happy? Don't you think so? We have money, what are we afraid of!" Victor laughed and scolded.

Hugo was speechless for a while, very moved!

"Ahem, I want to be the head coach not just to satisfy my own wishes, I also want to lead the team to success in person!"

"Then... forget it! I don't think you can do it! Everything has been proved before! I have thought of all the ideas for you! You don't care about anything, just try to be the head coach first, you forgot, you were the head coach for a while in the C2 League, and then you invited Mazzarri, and we still won the first place!"

Damn! You are really a brother, you have thought of all the ideas for me! But think about it, this idea is actually quite good! Hugo thought about it.

Then he thought about it again, is Serie A the second division? ! How can it be so easy to turn over? !

This idea is really bad!

But at least Hugo finally found someone who supports him!

Victor called Hugo to ask about this, and Tony also called to ask if you really want to do this.

Hugo said modestly that I am a little interested, and Tony immediately objected, "Gigi, that's Serie A, not a low-level league, it's the best league in the world, do you really think you have the ability to lead the team to gain a foothold in Serie A!"

This is really a problem. Tony has this attitude, and it is estimated that other people are similar. It is estimated that it is difficult for the team to have support for themselves.

By mid-June, there was no movement in Trapani's coach selection. Now many people believed what New Sports had said before. It seemed that the restless young boss was ready to make a move.

Zamparini, contrary to his usual behavior, praised Hugo in an interview, "We all know that Mr. Colene is rich, smart, and handsome, but many people don't know that Mr. Colene is a talented coach. Trapani was able to enter the professional league from the amateur league under the leadership of Mr. Colene! I dare say that if Mr. Colene takes charge personally, he will definitely bring us surprises next season!"

"Mr. Zamparini, you are speaking sarcastically now, right?!" The reporter was completely confused.

"Who is mocking him?! I sincerely praise Gigi. He has such ability. If the Italian football boss and head coach are to be the first, he must be the right person. I believe he can lead Trapani to play well in Serie A!" Zamparini said angrily, I'm serious, you still don't believe it? ! Believe it or not, I'll beat you!

Hugo is not that stupid. He knew that Zamparini's words were a lie. It was clearly saying that I can't do it, but I'm better than you, an old man!

In a subsequent interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Hugo said vaguely: "In fact, we have been looking for a new head coach, but this is a difficult thing. We hope to find a head coach with rich experience and also need to stick to our Trapani's own style!"

"Who are on your list?!" the reporter asked.

"Uh, it's not convenient to disclose it now! When there is further news, the club will tell everyone! I believe we can find a head coach before the season training. If we can't find a new head coach, I may temporarily serve as the acting head coach!" Hugo said.

After saying this, Hugo had an idea, acting head coach! What a good term! Acting head coach is an informal head coach who is just acting first. If we don't play well, we have a lot of room to retreat and it won't be too embarrassing. If the results are not good, find someone else to take over quickly. How good!

Seli and Giorgio knew Hugo's plan. Trapani did not make any move to find a coach. The boss was not happy at all!

Seli and Giorgio certainly did not want this matter to drag on. The longer it dragged on, the greater the possibility that Hugo would take the position himself. They did not care about the cats and dogs, and began to frequently recommend Hugo. The media was full of news about who Trapani contacted today and who would contact tomorrow.

The two head coaches, Mazzarri and Zeman, were on the list. Giorgio did go to Mazzarri. Mazzarri was still in the C1 League. He was eager for such an opportunity. Although he knew that the boss Hugo was the emperor, he was still willing to return. Giorgio sent the name of Mazzarri to Hugo's desk, and Hugo directly rejected it.

"Mazzarri?! He has proved that he is not good enough. You let him come back as the head coach because you really want to make the team play in Serie A for a year?!"

Zeman is also the direction that Giorgio and Seli are working towards. In terms of knowing the team inside out and being experienced, it goes without saying that there is no one more suitable than him to take charge of Trapani again. Zeman initially wanted to refuse, but was later moved by the sincerity of Giorgio and Seli and agreed to return, but the prerequisite was to have a good talk with Hugo.

But Hugo still refused, "He is suitable, but this person is too stubborn and overbearing! He is the one who makes the decisions when he comes, what else can I do?!"

Zeman's return caused a great response. Zeman admitted in an interview that "I have contacted them! I do not rule out the possibility of returning, but first I have to have a good talk with Colelli!"

This indirectly means that if he agrees to return, his attitude depends on Hugo. Hugo doesn't know what method Seli and Giorgio used to make this old man talk nonsense in front of the media, but this general is ruthless enough.

The key is that Hugo really can't get angry with the loyal Celie and Giorgio. He can still tell the good from the bad.
