Chapter 6 Take office (《》)

Alemani began to think carefully about Jose's words, and then he had to admit that if Jose could really get the shares of the Mallorca Club owned by the Asensio family, then it is indeed very likely to control the entire club - Mallorca Club is a joint-stock company, but it is not listed, and its voice is all in the hands of shareholders. The more shares, the greater the voice is. When more than 50% of the shares are in the hands of one shareholder, he can make any decisions, and others can only listen. This is also what Grande was dissatisfied with before, but his shares are not as good as Asensiodo. Now, if it is Jose, he might have done more than he did.

"What would you do if you own the entire Mallorca club?" Alemani couldn't help asking a question.

Jose laughed: "Sir, this is your business...Don't forget, you are the executive chairman of Mallorca Club, and I am just a head coach..."

"You kid! Do you want your father to work for you?" Alemani couldn't help but shout.

"Don't say that, Father, I don't have that much energy to take into account the two positions of head coach and chairman... The specific executor will be you, I will just make some suggestions at some time. What you do is the same as now... I believe that the surname Alemane will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of Mallorca! When people talk about the great Mallorca club in the future, it is like talking about the Hill family when talking about Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, the Morati family, and Manchester United, the Edwards family!" Jose said with a glorious spirit: "And this is also the biggest factor in my choice to leave the United States and return to Mallorca!"

Alemani looked at Jose, then sighed: "Jose, I really didn't expect you to have such great ambitions... Since you said that, how could I, a father, not help you? Maybe I can't help you with the things you just said, but in the position of chairman, at least, I won't drag you down. But I have a question, will Juan really agree to transfer the shares to you?"

"I haven't asked yet." Jose gave an answer that surprised Alemane.

"You..." Alemani really didn't know what to say - just heard Jose analyze a lot, and he thought Jose had prepared everything... feelings were empty words!

"That's why I'm only willing to be a firefighter." Jose explained carefully: "Mallorca's performance this season is not good, and it is estimated that the fiscal deficit will occur. In other words, shareholders not only cannot get dividends, but they may also need to pay to fill the deficit... Mr. Asensio didn't care about this before, but now Juan may not care. When he knew that the shares of the Mallorca club might be a burden, he would be moved by my proposal. At that time, I can get shares at a cheaper price. However, in the next season, Mallorca may tighten its money. Do you think it's wise to continue to serve as the head coach?"

"You actually think so far..."

After finally clarifying Jose's meaning, Alemani began to feel that his son was thinking too carefully - he threw all the time that might damage honor to other head coaches, and then appeared in front of the fans as a savior. It seems that he did not agree to be the head coach of the first team half a year ago, and he also considered this detail.

"Since that's the case, father, then you're going to let me be a firefighter... But no matter what, my salary will be paid. If you succeed in relegation in the past six months, you'll give me a bonus of 500,000 US dollars. This condition is not too much." Jose said with a smile.

"Bonus? Why do you want money?" Alemani was stunned for a moment.

"Spend more, the club's expenses will be even greater." Jose laughed haha. Alemani thought about it before she understood what her son meant, and she couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

"By the way, don't forget that if Gomez can beat Real Madrid, he will continue to be the head coach of Mallorca." Looking at his proud son, Alemane couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, father, that guy Gomez, how could he win against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu? Although we had a pretty good performance against Real Madrid last season, it was led by Cooper Cooper! If he could lead Mallorca to win against Real Madrid, then Mallorca wouldn't be like this..." Jose said indifferently.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Alemani nodded: "However, if you lose this game, we may be entering the relegation zone... Are you sure that Mallorca will return to its original appearance?"

"It's not easy to say when entering the European arena next season, but if you want to lead the team to relegation... that's not a problem!" Jose replied with a sensation.

Although Gomez worked very hard and Mallorca's players also performed very hard, the gap in strength made them unable to escape from the Bernabeu Stadium - the one-to-two loss was not embarrassing, but it was Mallorca's three consecutive losses, and the Mallorca people's endurance had reached its limit.

After returning to Mallorca, Mallorca's management immediately announced that Gomez was dismissed. After receiving the news, Gomez just sighed. Cooper's best friend and assistant began to realize that it was a mistake to choose to become Mallorca's head coach at that time, but he was not worried about his place. His old friend Cooper left him an assistant coach in Valencia.

With the remaining half-year salary and termination fee given by Mallorca, Gomez left Mallorca with ease, but what he left was a mess - he ranked at the bottom, with only twelve points, and the whole team was panicked.

On January 19, 2000, the day after returning from Madrid, the Mallorca Club announced the candidate for a new head coach.

"Given that coach Gomez was in poor health, he resigned to the club. The club respected coach Gomez's ideas and agreed to his resignation. Mallorca II coach Jose Alemuni served as interim executive head coach until the end of the season."

There was no press conference held, but the news was announced only in the local Mallorca Daily. However, as soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

"The youngest head coach in La Liga has been released! The 26-year-old Jose Alemuni serves as the interim executive head coach of Mallorca!"

"Mallorca's new head coach is actually the parent-child of Mallorca's executive chairman. What's the reason why the father and son jointly take charge of Mallorca?"

Logically speaking, it is normal for Mallorca, a team that is already deeply involved in the relegation zone, to be replaced by the head coach of the youth team. However, Jose's age and his identity have become the focus of media attention.

At the same time, some things about Jose began to be dug up by reporters - he went to the United States to study at the age of 18, returned to Mallorca after two years of suffix learning, started to learn coaching courses at the age of 20, joined the Mallorca Youth Team as a coach at the age of 23, became Cooper's assistant at the age of 24 and a half, and became the head coach of Mallorca II at the age of 25, after the retirement of the former head coach of the second team, Francesco of the second team, and led the Mallorca II to achieve twelve wins, six draws and seven losses in the past Spanish Second Division, ranking seventh in the Spanish Second Division.

"From the achievements of Jose leading the second team in the Spanish Second Division, he is indeed the best candidate for Mallorca at this stage, but at the age of too young and his special identity, it is not easy for Jose to quickly establish a reputation in the team. You should know that there are many veterans in the Mallorca team, Nadal and Ngonggake are both veterans over 30 years old..."

While the outside world was wondering what Jose would be like next, Jose quietly started his work.

On January 20, at 9 a.m., the Doral Training Base in Mallorca.

"Vicente, we've changed coaches."

Fernando Nino shouted loudly in the locker room, saying that this is a tall player. Although he is not particularly tall, he is very strong and has a straight and hot temper. He is a powerful player on Mallorca's defense line.

Vicente Ngongga unspeakably tied his shoelaces. This black player born in Equatorial Guinea is 35 years old and has played in La Liga for the first time at the age of 26. He only played for the Spanish national team for the first time at the age of 33. He is also the first black player to play in the Spanish national team. Since he transferred from Valencia two years ago, he has been the main midfielder and captain of the field. He and another former Spanish international who is 33 years old. Miguel Nadal, who has only returned from Barcelona for free this season, is the most respected player in the team.

Nadal is a defender and his performance this season is not bad. Mallorca rarely loses a large number of goals. However, as one of the organizers of the midfield, Mallorca's poor performance this season is also to blame. He followed Cooper to Mallorca, so he also supports Gomez, an old friend of Cooper. Now that Gomez is out of class, Ngongga feels guilty, and secondly, he is worried about his position on the court.

"Let's go to the training ground... The new coach is going to meet us today, don't be late." After tying up the shoelaces, Engongjia straightened his waist and said in a low voice.

Jose stood by the training ground and chatted with the assistant coach Antonio Natal next to him easily. Natal is also an old minister of Mallorca. He is twenty years older than Jose and has been coaching in Mallorca at the age of thirty-five. He has been forty-five and has been in Mallorca for ten years.

"Antonio, how do you arrange your usual training?" Jose asked.

"It's similar to before..." Natal replied: "In terms of training, Gomez did a good job, basically the same as Coach Cooper did when he was there, and his discipline was very strict... There is no problem with the players' condition."

"Well..." Jose nodded slightly. He had been an assistant coach in the first team for half a year last season, so he naturally knew how good Mallorca's training level was - Cooper was a head coach who paid great attention to training results, and was quite strict in this regard. This was also one of the biggest reasons why he had a falling out with Ronaldo later. In this way, the players' discipline and condition should be fine, but if a team always fails to win, it will be very painful. The morale of the players will most likely drop greatly, and they will not win games.

"First of all, you have to bring a victory." Jose thought to himself.

While Jose was thinking about what was going on, Mallorca's players had already come out of the locker room one after another. After all the players came out, Jose looked at the watch and nodded with satisfaction.

Except for the injured Biagini, all the other players were present, and there was no late - Jose didn't want to give them a warning. He stayed in the first team for half a year last season, and he knew most of the players, and he also knew that he had done a good job in the second team in the past half season.

At this time, Jose's advantage as a local Mallorca came out. Although he was young and even though he was the chairman's son, no player thought he should not be the head coach. Of course, whether he could be the executive head coach depends on how he did next.

Without the coolness of black clothes, black pants, black sunglasses, and no thorn to let Jose show his authority. Jose just waved his hand and then said simply: "Start training."
