After the initial reorganization of the club, another week passed, and all work within Florence is underway in an orderly manner.

In terms of commercial development, since Fiorentina has just been relegated from Serie A, Kenion, who is in charge of commercial development, did not make any major moves. He just got some good commercial sponsorships for Florence as much as possible, but the deadline was only set for one year, because he believed that Zhuang Mingge told him that Florence will return to Serie A at the end of next season.

Antonioni compiled a list of recommended players and a list of potential players that scouts are optimistic about at the fastest speed, and handed it over to Zhuang Mingge.

Zhuang Mingge carefully browsed the list and circled all the players on it who were famous in later generations. After some consideration, he finally made a decision...

Three days later, in the office of the chairman of the Fiorentina headquarters, Zhuang Mingge invited Antonioni and Poirot to have a small meeting with the team's signing work next season.

"Jan Carlo, how are the current emotions of the team members?" Zhuang Mingge took the lead in opening up the topic.

"Not very good. After all, the team has been relegated this year. Many main players have found me and hope to allow them to transfer to other teams. But Gabriel (Barty) and Stefan (Efenberg) told me that they decided to stay and share the hardships with the team. Some substitutes also expressed the same meaning to me, but I hope the club can retain some main players, and they are our biggest support to return to Serie A next season."

"Haha, since they don't want to stay here, let them go." Zhuang Mingge didn't care about so many players hoping to leave Fiorentina. Their choice was understandable. After all, people are going to a high place. Does anyone like to play football in the low-level league?

Antonioni looked at Zhuang Mingge incredibly.

"I heard it right, boss?" Antonioni, the oldest among the participants, swallowed with difficulty. "What do you mean is that except for these players who publicly expressed their willingness to stay in the team, everyone else sold it?"

"That's right, both foreign players, Gabriel (Batty) and Stefan (Efenberg), expressed their willingness to play in the Serie B with the team. As local players, if they cannot guarantee their loyalty to Fiorentina, it's better to sell them now and everyone can get together and part with each other." Zhuang Mingge said unswervingly.

"But, the team's players next season..."

Zhuang Mingge waved his hand and interrupted what Antonioni wanted to say and handed a list to Poirot, the new transfer department head sitting next to Antonioni: "As for the players, I have selected the list from the list that Giancarlo (Antonioni) has sent to me before. Their names are all on this piece of paper. I hope to see their names appear on the team's roster when the team starts training."

Poirot took over the list and carefully browsed the names on the list. Antonioni also came over to satisfy his curiosity:

Francisco Toldo, December 2, 1971, goalkeeper, Ravenna;

Matteo Guadalburn, June 5, 1974, goalkeeper, Verona;

Gianluca Pesotto, August 11, 1970, full-back, Bologna;

Mark Uliano, August 12, 1973, central defender, Bologna;

Aldo Filicano, March 21, 1967, central defender, Cagliari;

Alessandro Bilindley, November 12, 1974, full-back, Empoli;

Luigi Dibiagio, June 3, 1971, midfielder, Foggia;

Giuliano Giannikeda, September 21, 1974, midfielder, Sora;

Federic Jonty, August 30, 1971, midfielder, Perugia;

Damiano Tomasi, May 17, 1974, midfielder, Verona;

Eugenio Corini, July 30, 1970, midfielder, Sampdoria;

Philip Inzaghi, August 9, 1973, striker, Albino Lefe;

Christian Vieri, July 12, 1973, forward, Pisa;

Vincenzo Montera, June 18, 1974, striker, Empoli;

After reading this list, Antonioni put forward his own opinions: "Boss, your young players account for the vast majority of your list. From this we can see your determination to rebuild the team, but I have a little question, why do you think they have the strength to lead the team to upgrade?"

Zhuang Mingge smiled bitterly in his heart: Can I still tell you that your boss, I have traveled through time from the future, and that the worst of these people on the list can also serve as the main force of most Serie A teams?

But Zhuang Mingge still needs to find a reasonable reason.

"Some of these players have proved themselves in the professional league, and some have just entered the professional league gate. I admit that it is a bit risky to promote young people, but in the Serie B field next season, as long as one or two of these people become successful, we, Fiorentina, will benefit a lot. As for the results, I don't think the remaining substitutes on the team can't even deal with the second division."

Antonioni thought about it and thought that Zhuang Mingge's words were correct, so he agreed with Zhuang Mingge's idea.

At the same time, Poirot also said that he would complete all the transfer work within the specified time and do his best not to let Zhuang Mingge suffer any losses in terms of transfer fees.

From this we can see the difference between Polo and Antonioni: Polo is a member of the Corleone family, and he is only responsible for Zhuang Mingge. Everything is subject to Zhuang Mingge's opinions, and he is responsible for specific operations; while Antonioni attaches more importance to the interests of Florence itself.

"Also, since the previous head coach Agropi resigned, the team's head coach also needs to make sure, otherwise there will be big problems in the team's season preparation."

Zhuang Mingge thought carefully. He remembered that at this time of his previous life, Florence was relegated. Ranieri, the "pot-making maker" who had succeeded this hot potato and became famous in Fiorentina. However, he didn't remember where Ranieri coached now, so he had to ask Antonioni, who knew Italian football well.

"Ranieli, he is currently coaching in Naples. I heard that because of his poor performance last season, the Naples board of directors intends to terminate his contract with him." Antonioni quickly answered, and at the same time he also heard the meaning of Zhuang Mingge's words, "Boss, are you planning to hire Ranieli to coach Fiorentina?"

"That's right, Ranieri has rich coaching experience. Although his tactical thinking is a bit conservative, he is our best choice at the moment." Zhuang Mingge said this, but he sighed in his heart. Although he has an international A-level coaching certificate, he has not completely digested the memories. For the coaching team, he is now a paper tiger. "And, Giancarlo, don't call me the boss in non-public places in the future, just call me Antonio."

"Okay, Antonio."

Although Zhuang Mingge is very clear about the strength of these players he advocates to introduce, this does not mean that Ranieri can see it. In addition, from the coaching experience of later generations, it can be seen that "Putting the Pot" is a good player to rectify the team and lead the team out of the trough, but he lacks a domineering attitude that can lead the team to glory.
