PS2: Thank you here for your reward for "I Palanc 6y".

Drogba looked up and found that the person he was chatting with was a middle-aged man with a shiny big bald head. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Judging from the dress and temperament of the middle-aged man, Drogba, who was born in a poor family, realized that the person standing in front of him must be of a big background. Not to mention anything else, the suit the man wore was more than the sum of all the belongings Drogba now possessed.

Drogba also knew very well that in his nearly twenty years of personal experience, he had never had any interaction with this middle-aged man.

Since he didn't know him, what was the middle-aged man who went to Paris to find him for? Could it be that he was the human resources manager of that company, and he was attracted by his brute force and planned to hire himself to do some jobs like a thug?

If this is the case, should I politely refuse the invitation from the party? No matter how I have experienced so many years of regular football training in France, it would be a pity to give up football like this.

"What? Are you not Mr. Didier Drogba?" Just as Drogba was thinking about it, the young man asked the Ivorian in confusion, "Is it possible that the security guard in the foyer made a mistake? He just told me that Mr. Drogba was the one standing at the gate."

"Uh...ah! Yes! That's right! I'm!" Hearing the other party say this, Drogba, who was traveling outside the world, quickly responded. He had no official income or social status yet, and he dared not offend anyone who seemed to be very famous. "I am Didier Drogba, I don't know what you call him?"

"Ah, I'm so busy that I forgot to introduce myself as soon as I got busy." The middle-aged man suddenly realized and patted his shiny big bald head, then took out a business card from his briefcase, handed it to Drogba, and said, "My name is Luciano Spaletti, and now he serves as the head coach of the Monaco club."

This person actually comes from Monaco! And he is also the head coach of that Ligue 1 club!

Drogba, who took the business card, was shocked after hearing the other party's self-introduction and almost dropped the business card in his hand to the ground, and his tone became more respectful: "Mr. Spaletti, are you the head coach of Monaco? The head coach of that team that has just completed the three consecutive Ligue 1 championships?"

"That's right." Spaletti was very satisfied when he saw Drogba's reaction. He now enjoyed the feeling of being respected. "I am the head coach of the Monaco team you mentioned."

However, Drogba's next sentence almost made Spalettire look: "But, I remember that Monaco's head coach wasn't Mr. Arcena Wenger? Why did he suddenly make a substitution?"

"Well, I'll call you Didier first, how about it?" Spaletti continued after receiving a positive answer from the Ivorians. "I want to ask you something now... By the way, Didier hasn't paid attention to the news about football?"

"It's been more than two months. During this period, I've been busy attending trial training at clubs across the country, and I don't have much time to care about other things." Faced with Spaletti's problem, Drogba naturally told the truth.

Spaletti covered his head with some depression. He didn't expect that the African big man's news channel was so closed that he didn't even know about this: "Coach Wenger announced his resignation as head coach of Monaco a few months ago. I signed a job contract with Monaco Club at the beginning of last month. Before that, I served as the team's head coach at the Empoli Club in Italy."

The reason why Spalletti, who had previously coached at Empoli's small club was able to serve as the head coach of Monaco, the new Ligue 1 overlord Monaco was mainly because of Zhuang Mingge's strong recommendation. At that time, the Monaco club was worried about finding Wenger's successor. After learning the news, Zhuang Mingge immediately called the Monaco and recommended Spalletti, who had just led Empoli to obtain Serie A qualification.

Monaco immediately sent someone to conduct a special investigation on Spaletti and found that this young Italian coach was really capable and brought Empoli, a weak team who was hanging in the first league in the new season, to the Serie A.

Moreover, there is another reason that Monaco is even more attracted to the Italian coach. Judging from the actions of Spaletti in Empoli over the years, the coach knows that he can live within his means and belongs to the type of calculating and living a life of calculating.

As we all know, Monaco is a poor team, which usually relies mainly on selling players at high prices to maintain the daily operation of the club. This is one of the reasons why Monaco Club has now taken over the legacy of the French Ligue 1 overlord left by Marseille, but it still fails to have unparalleled dominance in France like Marseille in the Tapi era.

A team that often sells core players, no matter how outstanding the performance is, it cannot become a wealthy family in people's eyes.

Therefore, based on the above reasons, Monaco Club finally decided to invite Spalletti, whose fame was still limited to the Italian low-level league, as the team's head coach. At the same time, he also gave him a transfer fund of $5 million as a gift for taking office, allowing him to use the money and the funds obtained from selling the players to strengthen the team's lineup.

Soon, Spaletti brought a big surprise to Monaco with a practical action.

The Italian, who got some transfer power, did not make stupid things like signing big, but still maintained the good habit of thrift. Since Roa ran away from Spain, Spaletti chose to rent Portuguese national goalkeeper Baia from Barcelona for free. The Portuguese, who was also the No. 1 goalkeeper last season, lost his main position after Dutch coach Van Gaal came to the Camp Nou Stadium, so he is asking for a transfer from Barcelona.

Monaco's loan application is just right. Barcelona, ​​who is eager to resolve the internal strife, happily agreed to the loan transaction. Not only did it not require any loan fees, but it even agreed that Monaco only needs to bear half of the Portuguese salary.

As the saying goes, a good goalkeeper is enough to support half of the team, so Baia's arrival not only effectively made up for the vacancy of Roa's departure, but also immediately raised Monaco's defensive quality to a higher level.

The first thing he did after taking office was to rent Baia, which is normal for Spaletti, who is an Italian. After all, fans know that Italian coaches pay the most attention to is naturally the team's defensive ability.
Chapter completed!
