Chapter 443 A New Emperor, a New Minister

"Resign?"

Yang Huan glanced at the embarrassed Simone and the other two and found that they were too guilty to dare to look him in the eye, which was a bit strange.

"Are you three planning on quitting your jobs?"

Simeone and Boggs looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with the situation.

Instead, Ortega gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is my resignation letter."

As he said this, he actually raised up his resignation letter.

But he was the only one who didn't move. Simeone and Boggs glared at Ortega fiercely.

Damn it, aren't you pushing us to death?

Ortega responded with a look, "Brother, I'm talking about me, not you."

Oh, this is to sacrifice oneself for the benefit of others

Good brothers, be loyal

Don't worry, I'm the head coach of the team. As soon as you leave, I will invite you back.

That's the truth.

The reactions of these three people were so strange that everyone present started talking about it.

But since Young Master Huan was present, it was not their turn to interrupt.

"Tell me the reason," Yang Huan asked calmly.

Now that Ortega has said it, he might as well just go for it.

"There's no reason, I'm just unhappy and don't want to stay here anymore."

Yang Huan smiled and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Not only are they delaying our salaries, they are also placing restrictions on us in every way, as if we are here to fight for power and profit."

After a pause, Ortega angrily said, "Anyway, I don't want to talk about the specifics. Everyone in the team management knows what's going on. If you want to know, just ask Caminero."

After hearing what Ortega said, several Atletico Madrid executives present understood what was going on.

Delayed salary payments are a common occurrence at Atletico Madrid, with many players not even receiving their salaries after leaving the team.

As for the restrictions on them, this is also true.

Although Simeone is a former Argentine international star, he has always been coaching in the Argentine league and has never coached in a mainstream European league. He was appointed to the position midway through the season, so it is impossible for Atletico Madrid to give him power all at once.

Therefore, when it comes to specific team operations, the power falls on sports director Caminero.

This guy is a native of Madrid. He came from Real Madrid's youth training camp, but later played for Atletico Madrid. After retiring, he worked for Valladolid. He has certain ability to do things. Last summer, he came to Atletico Madrid as sports director.

In the mid-1990s, Caminero and Diego Simeone both played for Atletico Madrid and were midfield partners. Many people who didn't know the truth thought they had a very good relationship.

Little did they know that the relationship between the two could almost be described as that of strangers.

It is said that the feud was caused by the time they were in Atletico Madrid.

As Atletico Madrid's performance has become increasingly outstanding over the past period of time, Simeone's demands for power in the team have also been increasing. The simplest point is that he hopes the team will operate completely according to his requirements and hopes to be able to participate in the team's transfer decision-making.

This is also normal. Any capable and ambitious head coach hopes to have such power.

But Caminero is different. It was originally my power, but now it has been divided by you. Isn’t it a big loss for me?

Besides, the transfer market has always been a lucrative business with plenty of money to spare. Who would be willing to let go?

So Caminero attacked Simeone many times, and the conflict between the two was well known within Atletico Madrid.

When former presidents Cerezo and Hill were there, they were happy to see the balance of power in the club, so they did not try to appease them.

But this inaction itself is fueling Caminero's arrogance.

After all, he has always considered himself to be a member of Atletico Madrid.

Yang Huan really didn't know what the situation was at the moment, but he knew one thing very clearly.

"Caminero is gone, who do you want me to ask?"

When Master Huan said this, not only Ortega was stunned, but Simeone and Boggs were also shocked.

Caminero is gone?

How is this possible?

At this moment, Begiristain, who was following behind Young Master Huan, came out and nodded solemnly.

"Yes, not only Caminero is gone, but Andrade Berta is gone too."

Andra Berta, the team's technical director

In fact, the management of Atletico Madrid is very chaotic. Apart from the board of directors, there are a lot of management at the competitive level.

The director in charge of the competition department also has a sports director, a technical director, and a director of international development. Each of them has several people under them.

This is just the first team, the youth team has another team.

In addition, the club office has people in charge of finance, business operations, market development, and marketing...

This does not even include the high and mighty board of directors.

You know, there are four members of the Hill family on the board of directors, all of whom are just holding idle positions and receiving salaries.

The entire management of Atletico Madrid is bloated and its efficiency is extremely low.

Many of these people entered the club through various connections, some of them have some ability to do things, and some of them have just been sitting there doing nothing for years.

This is an extremely common phenomenon not only in Spanish football, but also in all walks of life in Spanish society.

Therefore, as soon as Yang Huan came to power, he took drastic measures to eliminate a group of rice borers, including Caminero and others.

When Diego Simeone heard that Yang Huan had fired Caminero and Andra Berta, he was both surprised and happy.

What was surprising was that the new boss was just as rumored by the outside world, not only rich, but also very decisive.

The good news is that it can be seen that the new owner has the ambition to do more than one game in Atletico Madrid.

Yang Huan looked at Diego and Simeone and the other two and said, "Since you are here, let's move up the meeting and go back to Calderón directly."

Twenty minutes later, in the office meeting room of the Calderón Stadium, the top executives of Atletico Madrid sat upright.

"I solemnly announce that our Yang Group has acquired 100% of Atletico Madrid. From now on, Ferran Soriano will be the team's CEO, Begiristain will be the team's technical director, and Calzada will be the team's head of commercial development..."

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. With the withdrawal of the Cerezo and Hill families, the original leadership team of Atletico Madrid was also replaced.

After a round of turmoil, only a few remained in office.

Including Public Relations Director Javier Martinez, former Deputy Director of Business Antonio Riveroso, former club manager Clemente and so on.

Following this major change and upheaval in the management, the club's entire management will be reorganized.

In Yang Huan's plan, the role of the head coach will be enhanced and valued, especially at the competitive level.

The conflict between the technical director and the head coach has always been a headache for many teams.

It is difficult to say whether the technical director or the head coach is more important.

Especially when Yang Huan was in Southampton, there was no technical director at all, allowing the head coach to contact the management directly.

This is because Bielsa has no interest in transfers and power, but what if it were someone else?

Therefore, Yang Huan discussed this matter specifically with Soriano and Peternion.

They all believe that the technical director and the head coach should be in a cooperative relationship. The head coach should first consider the team's short-term goals, such as the new season, while the technical director should consider long-term plans, such as what kind of team he wants to build.

In fact, according to authoritative surveys, the best coaching period for head coaches in Europe's top leagues is three to four years.

If the time is too short, the head coach will not be able to instill his own football philosophy; if the time is too long, he will easily feel bored.

Even someone like Ferguson had felt bored many times when he was at Manchester United and had proposed retirement many times, but in the end he overcame this emotion and led the team to glory time and time again.

On the contrary, Wenger's boredom has been quite obvious at Arsenal since the undefeated season.

He no longer has the hunger for championships and the desire to win.

Of course, Wenger is still a great, outstanding and respectable coach.

So, from a certain perspective, the head coach is very mobile, similar to the players, but the technical director is a long-term position.

After announcing a series of personnel appointments and management power changes, Yang Huan announced another thing.

"I will ask them to transfer a sum of money to the team. You must pay off the salaries and bonuses owed to the players and employees within a week, and draft a new team salary plan for me."

As for Atletico Madrid, Yang Huan does not plan to get involved too much and will leave it to professional managers. He is not suitable to come forward.

After all, he doesn't want people to exaggerate the relationship between Southampton and Atletico Madrid.

Otherwise, it would be interesting if the two teams met in the European arena in the future.

"Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. All players and employees are the most valuable assets of the club."

Just like what is said in the movie, what is the most important thing in the 21st century?

Talent

Football clubs play with talent

Diego

When Yang Huan called out his name, Diego Simeone's eyelids twitched, he immediately raised his head and exclaimed.

"I reject your resignation application. The team will sign a new contract with you for a period of three years. Your salary will be increased from the original 2.5 million to 5 million. Boggs and Ortega will also be increased accordingly."

"What?" Diego Simeone was completely shocked.

Not only him, but everyone present was also shocked.

Master Huan is really generous. He doubled Diego Simeone's salary.

This means that Diego Simeone's salary ranks third in Spain, only behind Vilanova of Barcelona and Mourinho of Real Madrid.

During Vilanova's tenure as an assistant coach, his annual salary was 3 million euros, making him the highest paid assistant coach in the world. After being promoted to the position, his annual salary was increased to 7 million euros.

After Mourinho renewed his contract with Real Madrid, his annual salary increased by one million euros to 11 million euros.

From this point of view, Diego Simeone's salary ranks third among many La Liga head coaches, but there is still a big gap with the previous two, especially with the Portuguese madman Mourinho.

But for Diego Simeone, who has only been in La Liga for half a year, this contract is indeed generous enough.

This made Simeone and the other two nod their heads continuously after hearing it.

From the face of the Argentine tough guy, everyone understood two words: moved

Originally, the three of them wanted to resign, but unexpectedly, instead of quitting their jobs, their salaries doubled.

Not only that, the club owner will also entrust them with even more important tasks. How can they not be moved?

The three brothers looked at each other and saw the gratitude in each other's eyes.

The new boss is very capable and considerate.

There is no doubt that they treat us so well, we can only work hard until our death.

The other people present were also shocked.

The new boss used both carrot and stick tactics as soon as he came in, leaving them dizzy.

But now, they finally figured out the trick.

The new boss's attitude is that no matter who you are, as long as you work hard for the team and make achievements, you will be rewarded. If you make mistakes, you must accept the punishment.

Thinking of this, everyone present had a scale in their hearts and knew what to do.

At this time, Yang Huan waved his hand and moved on to the next topic.

"Okay, let's talk about the transfer."
