Chapter 4 Signing for Chelsea!
Kenyon and his party came to visit Qiao Wanxian early in the morning, but they waited in the Hyde Hotel all day and were about to leave in the evening, and finally waited for Qiao Wanxian's figure.
Kenyon sat on the sofa and handed over the contract in duplicate to Qiao Wanxian, who was sitting on the side. Qiao Wanxian just glanced at it quickly and saw the contract that Chelsea Club was willing to provide Qiao Wanxian with a one-year-long coaching contract with a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds!
There are as many as seven or eight pages in the contract, and most of them explain the head coach's responsibilities and breach of contract. A club like Chelsea will never do anything to cheat the head coach, so Qiao Wanxian didn't look carefully.
As long as Qiao Wanxian signs the contract, the most absurd, mysterious and easy football signing in football history will be born without a visitor!
This is certain to sign, but when Qiao Wanxian picked up the pen, he found that his hands were shaking.
Qiao Wanxian sighed and said to himself: "No, I want to relax, I can't let this group of people underestimate me!"
Qiao Wanxian put the contract on the table, clasped his hands tightly, and asked calmly: "Mr. Kenyon, every head coach has his own players and coaching team. I wonder how much money the club is willing to provide to help me build a new team?"
Kenion smiled and said, "Mr. Wan Xian can rest assured that the boss of Abu has promised many times that he plans to spend 200 million pounds within two years to directly build Chelsea into a top Premier League team. In this way, this year's transfer budget is conservatively 100 million pounds!"
Qiao Wanxian took a breath, the richest man in Russia is domineering! He frowned, pointed to the number on the contract, and said lightly: "Mr. Kenyon, as the head coach of Chelsea club, you only offer a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds. Is it a little less?"
In fact, for Qiao Wanxian, a weekly salary of 20,000 is already a lot. If it is converted into an annual salary, it is more than one million pounds! This can completely change his lifestyle. He is actually ecstatic, but he just needs to show calmness.
Kenyon said apologically: "Mr. Wan Xian, this is what Boss Abu means. Well... I believe you understand the reason. After all, you are too young and have the ability to take charge of a top club like Chelsea..."
"Okay, I understand, I will surprise all of you!" Qiao Wanxian waved his hand, picked up two contracts, and signed his name.
This is definitely the smoothest signing of Kenyon's team. I didn't say a few words in total, and this matter was settled. Kenyon was very happy, stood up and shook his hand with Qiao Wanxian, and smiled and said, "Mr. Wanxian, the club will hold a press conference in three days to announce your arrival. I hope you are ready."
Qiao Wanxian nodded with a smile, but his heart was a little bitter.
What will happen when football world hears this news?
Chelsea fans gathered on the streets of London to protest?
Will all the bad things that I have had since I was a child be dug up by the British media or the world media like human flesh?
Is the Chinese media going to promote this again that this is the wise leadership of the Football Association? This is the hope of Chinese football?
Thinking about the merciless sarcasm of the English media when Wenger landed in Europe from Japan and was appointed as the Arsenal coach, Qiao Wanxian felt that his bones were cold.
Of course, Qiao Wanxian was not entirely worried. He held the secret weapon of Student Source 1, and at least he could complete the contract for one year at Chelsea Club. At that time, even if Chelsea is unwilling to renew the contract, his resume as a giant will definitely become a hot head coach in mainland Europe!
In this way, life will be no longer a worry!
On June 11, 2004, this is destined to be a day that will be recorded in the history of Chelsea Club. This is the first time Qiao Wanxian has stepped into the Stamford Bridge Stadium.
After a quick tour of the stadium, the staff came to the club to take a walk around the apartment he rented for him.
This is a small building located in a wealthy area near Stamford Bridge Stadium, with red tiles and white walls, green grass and flowers, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. In the noisy city of London, there are few such manor-like buildings.
The small building has two living rooms, seven bedrooms, two garages, and a swimming pool. It is like a villa, with complete facilities and complete everything. Compared with the place where Qiao Wanxian originally lived, this place is simply paradise!
After resting for half an hour, the staff finally brought Qiao Wanxian to the board of directors of the Chelsea club.
This is Qiao Wanxian's first appearance in front of Chelsea's top leaders. Of course, it is also confirmed that the middle-aged man that day was Abramovich!
Abu was talking freely, and the board members sat upright, the atmosphere was harmonious and the scene was quiet.
Qiao Wanxian kept looking back and forth at the English gentlemen present curiously, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Abu's power was powerful. Such a ridiculous appointment was approved by the board of directors!
Chelsea Club is Abramovich's private property, and this is true!
"Gentlemen, let us welcome the club's new head coach, the young and promising Chinese Qiao, Mr. Wan Xian!"
After Abu said a lot of words, he finally called Qiao Wanxian out in a passionate voice, and applauded first, and then there was a thunderous applause in the entire conference room...
After the board of directors, Abu met Qiao Wanxian alone.
"Mr. Wan Xian, I saw your magic coaching ability that day. I decided to take a risk, break the rules, and make you the head coach of our Chelsea. I hope you don't lose yourself!" Abu was very easy-going, and his attitude was many times stronger than that day.
Qiao Wanxian touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "It's not because of that bet?"
"Haha..." Abron laughed loudly, and then Qiao Wanxian would also laugh.
Abu tapped his finger on the table and asked softly: "Mr. Wan Xian, a press conference will be held in the afternoon. If you have any requests, I will ask someone to arrange it immediately."
Qiao Wanxian was still a little scared of the reception. Those British reporters were just taking advantage of the situation. Any loophole could make them magnify infinitely. What if they said a wrong sentence and fired me directly?
Qiao Wanxian asked guiltily: "Can you not run it?"
Abron Ran smiled and said, "Cute Wan Xian, are you kidding? Our goal is to become the world's top giants and must maintain close and friendly relationships with friends in the news media. And holding this press conference is responsible to all Chelsea fans."
Qiao Wanxian looked at Abu's enthusiastic look and felt a little confused. Isn't this pushing me up the crater? Imagine the hideous and terrifying expression that would appear when media from various countries learned about this shocking news. He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and heading straight for his forehead!
Qiao Wanxian let out a sigh and nodded helplessly: "Okay!"
Abu nodded and said, "There is another thing that Kenyon must have told you. As the club's new head coach, I hope you can improve your coaching team as soon as possible, or... do you plan to put the club in full responsibility?"
"Coaching team?"
When Qiao Wanxian heard this word, his eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something.
Yes, I don’t have an assistant yet! What are the assistant coaches, physical coaches, goalkeeper coaches, tactical coaches, technical coaches... I am not familiar with the place in London, and it seems that the club can only arrange it for me.
When Qiao Wanxian was about to nod and agreed, he suddenly thought of a question. Assistant coach, this is an absolutely important position! My coaching level requires an absolutely strong assistant coach to assist, otherwise on-site command may be a problem.
But who should I choose as my assistant coach?
At this time, Qiao Wanxian's foresight played a crucial role.
He thought carefully that in the early 21st century, there were three young and promising famous coaches: Mourinho, Guardiola, and Boas!
Needless to say, Mourinho is known as a madman. After leading Porto to the Champions League this summer, he will definitely jump into the nest. Guardiola should still be a player at this time and has not retired. So this choice... only Boas, known as a genius master, remains!
Calculate the time, he should still be Mourinho's assistant coach now, right? He dug him over to assist him?
Qiao Wanxian narrowed his eyes, and after hesitating for a long time, a few words popped up in his teeth: "I want Boas!"
"Boas? Who is this person?" Abu frowned and asked in confusion.
Qiao Wanxian said in a deep voice: "This person is very important to me. I hope the club will dig him over at all costs. This is a rare treasure for the club."
Abu smiled and said generously: "Don't worry about this, just say who this person is, right? Just leave it to Kenyon to deal with it."
Qiao Wanxian said: "I guess there will be many difficulties in digging this person. It is not only a termination fee, but the key is to convince him of his mentality. Because he is now... Mourinho's assistant coach!"
"Ah?" Abu was stunned and looked at Qiao Wanxian in shock. When did you know such a person?
But then Abu smiled and said it was interesting. This summer, he originally planned to dig Mourinho as the club's head coach, but something happened because he had a bet to hire Mr. Wan Xian. However, it was also very interesting that he could not dig Mourinho and dig his assistant to Chelsea.
Abu's answer was straightforward: "No problem, I will ask Kenyon and the Sports Department to help you with this matter. Please remember that a press conference will be held at 2 pm, and I hope you can attend on time. Have you been to the apartment? Are you satisfied with the facilities?"
Chapter completed!
