Chapter 572
There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Manchester City's secret recruitment of a temporary head coach was soon exposed by the Premier League media reporters following clues.
And soon, the former Barcelona B team head coach, Josep Guardiola, was exposed by the Barcelona team reporters.
He paid the penalty through Manchester City, resigned and terminated the contract, and will replace Stewart as Manchester City's new head coach.
It exploded.
The entire European football world exploded.
On May 10, the relevant news had occupied the front page headlines of all European sports media.
"Explosive! Nou Camp King Guardiola will take charge of Manchester City!"
"Shock! Stewart can't come back, Manchester City has changed coaches, and the one who accepted is a Spaniard who has no first-team coaching experience!"
"The FA Cup Champions League final is imminent! Manchester City suddenly changed coaches! "
"Unbelievable! Josep Guardiola became the new head coach candidate for Manchester City! 》
《Exclusive report! Behind Guardiola's election as Manchester City coach....he defeated Ranieri, Lippi, McLaren and other candidates! 》
Blue Moon fans woke up and found that the sky had fallen.
-【Wtf? !!! What do you mean? Where is Stuart? No, give me back Stewart! Stewart is about to win the treble, and you tell me to change the coach at this critical moment? 】
-【Stewart obviously can't come back due to physical reasons, so Manchester City has to find a temporary coach...but, is the management crazy? Where did they find a Spaniard? He doesn't even have the experience of coaching the first team! Crazy! 】
-【Guardiola...isn't this guy a player? I remember he played for Barcelona before, and he was the captain....No, it seems that he played for the past two years, what's the situation? ! ! 】
-【Retired, just retired last year, and became the head coach of Barcelona B team after retirement. But it's still outrageous. Why is Manchester City so stingy when they have so much money? Find another youth team coach to save the day? ! ]
-[This is really stupid. Is the Manchester City management crazy? They don't want so many famous coaches. Do they have any special hobbies for youth team coaches? ]
-[Who the hell is this guy? Is Manchester City just playing badly because of Stuart's resignation? Champions League, the fucking Champions League final is not going to be played? Fuck! ! ]
No one, no Manchester City fan, can accept this news like a bolt from the blue.
If it was just the news that Stewart could not return.
At least the fans are mentally prepared.
Because after the media reports, the fans are very clear that Stewart's physical condition is very bad.
He was in the ICU for rescue and had a heart bypass. He will definitely not be back for a while.
Manchester City may recruit a temporary head coach.
The fans can also roughly guess.
Without a leader, Oliver is not up to the task. Manchester City is likely to find a head coach to lead the team to the Champions League final.
However.
The fans had expected the previous one.
But the choice of the interim head coach was beyond everyone's expectations.
A person who just retired.
Has no experience in coaching a first-team team.
A Spaniard?
He used to play for Barcelona...
The shock and outrageousness of this news to the fans is no different from Manchester City's digging Ferguson from Manchester United to coach Manchester City.
For a while, the fans' public opinion surged.
......................................................
Of course, it was not only the fans who got the news at the same time, but also the Premier League coaching circle.
Ferguson learned the news from a text message sent by his assistant Carlos Queiroz after he opened his eyes in the early morning of May 11.
The red-nosed old man instantly became extremely sober.
He called Queiroz immediately to confirm the accuracy of the news.
"Guardiola...Manchester City hired the player who used to play No. 4 in Barcelona as the team's interim head coach..."
Compared to the shock of Manchester City fans.
After sorting out the situation, Ferguson's first thing was to arrange for Queiroz to get the game video of Guardiola when he coached Barcelona B team.
"Manchester City is not stupid."
"The Barcelona player was able to impress Manchester City, not by words. He was smart on the court when he was a player."
"Our final preparation plan needs to be updated...I need a detailed analysis of Guardiola's coaching style. Tomorrow, no later than 12 o'clock tomorrow noon, it needs to be on my desk."
The red-nosed old man's eyebrows twisted into a ball.
There is a feeling that the development of things is completely beyond one's expectations.After getting Stuart's hospital report a few days ago, I knew that Manchester City could only recruit a temporary head coach.
But he thought of more than a dozen possible candidates, but he didn't expect Manchester City to suddenly do this, and get a retired player who was about to fade in his memory to lead Manchester City and himself to play the Champions League final.
"I don't want to lose to Manchester City in the final. I don't want to lose to Manchester City led by a temporary head coach."
"Impossible."
"That's absolutely impossible."
............................................................
Italy, Milan Niguarda Hospital, VIP ward.
A familiar figure, carrying a fruit basket, appeared at the door of Stuart's ward.
Elegant and elegant.
It was Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger.
Stuart was stunned, then smiled brightly, and supported himself to sit up a little.
"Mr. Wenger, I didn't expect you to come to see me. I thought you still hated me."
"I still hate me. But I hope you are healthy, and then I can let off some steam by leading your team to be defeated on the field."
"Haha, I guess you won't be able to fulfill this wish in your lifetime. The doctor told me that if I want to live a few more years, I'd better stay away from the football field."
Stuart's joke turned into a bitter smile.
Wenger sighed.
He put the fruit basket aside, and naturally took out an apple, wiped it, and took a bite.
"Actually, I'm here to join in the fun. I'm so curious that you, Manchester City, actually found a young retired player to take your place."
Stuart glanced at the newspaper next to him. He also knew how fierce the public opinion in the entire European football world had been in the past two days.
"As far as I know, you were only 35 years old when you started coaching the first team in the top league. So, our new coach is one year older than you."
"You are right."
Wenger nodded in agreement. When he closed his eyes, he could recall that youthful coaching time.
In 1984, French Ligue 1, Nancy, 11th in the league, successfully relegated...
Stuart saw Wenger was silent and took the initiative to speak.
"So what do you want to ask? I don't know much about this. The team did notify me in advance, but I have indeed terminated my contract with Manchester City due to physical reasons."
"It's nothing, just a casual chat. For example, do you think your team's new head coach can lead the team to win the Champions League?"
When Wenger mentioned the Champions League, Stuart was sad.
Almost every day when he woke up.
Stuart was in pain, that is, he fell down before the Champions League final.
Isn't this a regret in life?
"I don't know. I don't know Guardiola. But as far as I know, he can replace me with Su's participation and suggestions. And the last round of the league is the day after tomorrow, right? The Spaniard's coaching debut will come soon."
Su?
Wenger was stunned.
So Guardiola's election as the new coach of Manchester City was Su's decision.
That would explain everything.
Why did Manchester City give up so many famous coaches and look for a young retired player.
But.
Su.
Why did you choose him?
Wenger was very curious, but there are some things that will never be answered in a lifetime.
