Tong Yi said with confusion on his face: "Munich 1860? Yes, I am Tong Yi. What does Mr. Stoffes want from me?"
Hearing Tong Yi's words, Klopp and Frank were puzzled. What did Munich 1860 want Tong Yi to do?
Both of them stared at Tong Yi with curiosity.
Stoffels' distinctive voice continued: "We have received the cover letter you submitted to our club, and our club's top management has already met to discuss it. We think your tactical concepts and team building ideas are very suitable for us.
Munich 1860. Therefore, our Munich 1860 club now solemnly invites you to serve as the head coach of our Munich 1860 club."
Tong Yi was very shocked.
Didn’t Munich 1860 reject me before? Why did they suddenly extend an invitation to me?
Tong Yi didn't understand, but was very excited.
He said: "I am very happy to be the head coach of your club and thank you for your trust in me."
Klopp and Frank were shocked when they heard this. What happened before them was obviously beyond their expectations and knowledge.
Especially Klopp, he was very surprised.
There is actually a German club that uses Tong Yi, and it is a club like 1860 Munich.
Munich 1860 is not a small club. They play a decisive role in German football. Before the establishment of the Bundesliga, they were a powerful team in German football. They won one German national championship, two national runner-up places, and one DFB Cup championship.
.
When the Bundesliga was founded, they were one of the founding clubs. They joined the Bundesliga three years earlier than Bayern Munich in the same city. At that time, they were a powerful force in German football. They won the German Cup for the second time in 1964 and the German Cup in 1965.
Runner-up in the European Cup Winners' Cup, he won the Bundesliga championship in 1966 and runner-up in the Bundesliga in 1967. He was a giant of the Bundesliga at that time.
Although they have been ups and downs and downgraded since then, they are still the most typical representatives of German football. Such a club actually hired Tong Yi, an outrageously young Chinese, as the head coach. This is unbelievable, Klopp
Do you think 1860 people in Munich are crazy?
Frank was also very shocked, this was so unreasonable.
Not an assistant coach, but a head coach!
incredible!
He stared at Tong Yi blankly, wondering why his disciple made Munich 1860 think so highly of him?
Tong Yi doesn't know either and is still confused.
Stoffes' voice came again: "Since you have no objections, please come to our club to sign the contract as soon as possible. The new season is approaching and we don't have much time."
Tong Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take care of things here and go there tomorrow."
The voice on the phone rang again: "Okay, our club is looking forward to your arrival."
Tong Yi said goodbye and hung up the phone.
At this time, Tong Yi was a little excited and a little embarrassed.
He looked at Klopp with some embarrassment: "Jurgen..."
Obviously, Klopp saw Tong Yi's thoughts. He immediately waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Munich 1860 is more suitable for you than Dortmund. You don't have to care so much. I'm not that stingy."
Tong Yi nodded gratefully.
Klopp smiled and patted Tong Yi on the shoulder and said: "David, congratulations! You can now be the head coach of the German second division team. Do a good job. I am very optimistic about you and I believe you can succeed."
Tong Yi said sincerely: "Thank you!"
Frank also came back to his senses, looked at Tong Yi carefully, and then said: "Although I am very optimistic about you, I still think you are a little too hasty to go it alone now. But you have chosen this path, and I still support you.
.Work hard, I firmly believe you can succeed."
Tong Yi nodded firmly and secretly swore in his heart that he would not let the two of them down, nor would he let himself down.
Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and I will succeed.
I, Tong Yi, will definitely become an excellent head coach.
After chatting with Frank and the others for a while, Tong Yi came out of Frank's house. He had to go back to make preparations because tomorrow he was going to Munich to sign a contract with Munich 1860 Club.
The next day, Tong Yi arrived in Munich on time.
Along with him is Frank's lawyer friend Tovan Angel, and the two of them are now in the general manager's office at the Munich 1860 Club base on Green Forest Street.
Sitting opposite them were the club's general manager, bald Stoffes, the club's president, Reiner Beck, who had gray hair and glasses, and the club's sporting director, Miroslav Stevich, a stocky man in sportswear.
After meeting and exchanging pleasantries, the two parties officially got down to business.
Stoffes signaled his assistants to take out the contract that had been prepared, handed it to Tong Yi and the two of them, and said: "This is the contract drawn up by our club. David, you can take a look at it first. If there are no problems, we can officially
Signed."
Before Tong Yi came to Munich, he had already had further contact with Stoffes. The two had basically negotiated a contract, and they basically signed a contract today.
Even so, Tong Yi still carefully read the contract in his hand.
To be honest, this contract is basically the same as the contract he negotiated with Stoffels before.
In terms of the signing period, it is one plus two, with a total of three years of contract. The annual salary is 350,000 euros, which increases step by step every year. Of course, there are also some bonus settings, such as the bonus of 200,000 euros for promotion to the Bundesliga and entering the promotion play-offs.
bonuses of 100,000 euros, etc.
The current average annual salary of a Bundesliga head coach is about 500,000 euros. Tong Yi's annual salary is considered low, and various bonuses are also low. But you have to know that Munich 1860 Club is not financially healthy now, and Tong Yi is still very young.
A pure Chinese newcomer.
Overall, this contract is pretty good and Tong Yi is satisfied with it.
Angel also said that there is not much problem with the contract, but there is one clause in the contract that is a bit unreasonable.
This article made Tong Yi feel a little uncomfortable, and he immediately raised it to Stoffis: "Mr. Stoffis, I am basically satisfied with this contract, but there is one point that I have a little different opinion on."
Stoffes, Baker and others looked at each other, and then said: "You bring it up and take a look, and we will discuss it later."
Tong Yi immediately said: "That's it. It says that your club has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract three months from the date of signing. I don't quite understand this one."
This one is really inconsistent with common sense.
After all, with this clause, Munich 1860 Club could unilaterally fire him three months later without paying any compensation. This is extremely rare in professional football. No wonder Tong Yi felt very uncomfortable.
Even Hui Angel suspected that Munich 1860 Club did not really want to sign Tong Yi, but only wanted to recruit Tong Yi as a young man for three months.
This made Angel very angry!
This also made Angel doubt the sincerity of Munich 160 Club? This is not an equal agreement at all! Munich 1860 people are too condescending and do not take Tong Yi seriously. He suddenly felt sorry for Tong Yi in Munich 1860
Very worried about the prospect!
Upon hearing the question raised by Tong Yi, the three Stofers sighed inwardly: "Sure enough!"
In fact, when they negotiated the contract, they had guessed that Tong Yi would question this detail. After all, this was indeed a bit bullying, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Stoffis said to Tong Yi apologetically: "David, please believe in the sincerity of our club. We are also doing this under pressure from the fans."
Angel obviously didn't believe it and responded with a cold snort.
However, Tong Yi can still understand.
After all, I am a rookie with no coaching experience, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the fans. If my performance is still a mess after coaching, the fans will naturally riot, and the club's senior management will also suffer a huge impact.
Munich 1860 was in a financial crisis, and every money had to be calculated carefully.
If Tong Yi was fired suddenly, they would have to pay a liquidated damages. Obviously, this was something they were unwilling to bear, so he negotiated a three-month period, right?
However, he still brought this up. On the one hand, he wanted to hear how Stoffes and the others would explain it. On the other hand, he wanted to achieve some of his own goals.
Tong Yi looked thoughtful and nodded slightly.
In fact, Stoffes strived to add this clause.
To be honest, he really didn't understand why Mr. Chairman would choose Tong Yi, a Chinese native, as the team's head coach against all odds. He couldn't see that Tong Yi had any advantages.
However, even if Mr. Chairman is optimistic about Tong Yi, it is useless for them to object.
In the end, they argued hard and set up this detailed rule to ensure their interests.
Seeing that Tong Yi did not explode, Stoffes breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "David, you should also know the current situation of our Munich 1860. Our club can no longer withstand the torment. This is just for
A kind of protection for our club!”
Tong Yi murmured: "Protect?"
Stoffes nodded slightly and said: "Yes, protection! This is not that our club looks down on you, but after all, you are a pure newcomer. For the long-term safety of the club, we can only give you three months. If
If your performance is unsatisfactory in these three months, then I'm sorry, David! Of course we are very optimistic about you, otherwise we would not sign a contract with you. But... please understand."
Tong Yi can actually understand the concerns of Stoffes and the others. If ordinary people really wouldn't give him a chance, Munich 1860 Club would already think highly of him if they could give him three months.
Tong Yi nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
The three Stofers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They were really afraid that Tong Yi would lose his temper. It seemed that Tong Yi was also a talkative guy.
However, Tong Yi's words at the next moment frightened the three of them.
Tong Yi said: "Your club needs protection, I understand. But, I also need protection, I need the club's transfer rights!"
Tong Yi really couldn't stop dying without saying anything shocking. Stoffes and the other three were stunned.
Stoffes was even a little angry. No head coach in German football has the right to transfer. You, a young boy from China, also want to transfer to Germany?
Ridiculous, I don’t know how high the sky is!
He didn't think highly of Tong Yi in the first place, and now he would naturally not give Tong Yi a good look.
"Transfer rights? David, you should know very well that this is the job of the club manager. In Germany, no head coach has ever had this right." Stoffes was very angry. This guy Tong Yi came to take it away from him.
Right.
He will never allow this power to fall by the wayside.
"I know, but only if I obtain the transfer rights can I build the team according to my ideas, and I will be confident in these three months and even this season." Tong Yi said confidently, as if his claim for rights was
Very normal.
His attitude made Stoffis angry.
Stoffes said firmly and angrily: "No, absolutely no!"
