Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 162: Coach Giovanni Almeida's Decision
A few hours before the match against Borneo Putra. Coach Giovanni came to the Cananga FC's main mining office. It's not usually a scene like this, considering Coach Giovanni is not a person who likes to deal with the management. Coach Giovanni will deal with management just to get his job done as a manager, like player-spending.
But today Coach Giovanni came to the management office not to discuss the player's spending plans for next season, nor to discuss once again the club's vision and mission. But for something more serious than that, which is to discuss the future plan itself. In other words, Coach Giovanni plans to negotiate a contract with the management.
"Is this decision unanimous? Does the coach really want to leave after the end of the season?" Mr. Sardi, the owner of the Cananga FC Mining club asked with a facial expression that still could not believe everything described by Coach Giovanni earlier.
"As I have said, I am absolutely convinced that I want to end my coaching career at this club" Coach Giovanni said.
Mr. Sardi, who is the owner of the club, is very regretful about this decision, even though he still hopes with Coach Giovanni to continue doing his project together with this team. Then, with a heavy heart, Mr. Sardi tried to ask what made Coach Giovanni want to leave the Cananga FC Mining.
"Is it because of salary? Or the club's achievements that seem so unrealistic? I can make a little adjustment for your coach. Even about the salary maybe I can increase several times than already" said Mr. Sardi who still wants to make Coach Giovanni stay.
But all the things that have been mentioned by Mr. Sardi was only answered with a light smile on the face of Coach Giovanni, the coach, he slightly shook his head next to answer the question and slightly lightened the burden of Mr. Sardi's mind which seemed a little clueless.
"It's not like that sir" Coach Giovanni said softly, smiling slightly. "I just want to take a break from training after this, maybe I will come back in 3-5 years to train. There are some things that I want to do since long ago, but still have not had time because I am too busy pursuing this field"
Hearing the wishes of Coach Giovanni made Mr. Sardi began to understand the real reason, he began to soften a little and agree with the decision. But before that, Mr. Sardi asked Coach Giovanni about his successors. Because, since Coach Giovanni's leadership there have been too many changes that have occurred and of course changes that are going in a better direction than before.
Coach Giovanni smiled, he stared at Mr. Sardi. From his gaze it seemed to be able to answer Mr. Sardi's question, then he immediately understood what Coach Giovanni meant.
"Couldn't it be Satria?" said Mr. Sardi a little relieved, but still think about the name.
But Mr. Sardi still looks heavy with it, because he feels Coach Satria still has not trained in the senior team and that is enough to doubt him. Because the management only has a view of the club's business benefits and achievements, it is natural that Mr. Sardi thinks like that. And, Coach Giovanni also understands this, for that he continues to convince Mr. Sardi.
Then finally, Mr. Sardi gave up and began to ask about Coach Satria to Coach Giovanni. What exactly makes Coach Giovanni so confident with the figure of the young coach, because of his strong desire that Coach Satria want to continue what Coach Giovanni built in this team.
"Although still minimal experience, but I am sure that Coach Satria can overcome his weakness. He is a person who always pays attention to the condition of the team, be it the opposing team or our own team and from that sometimes comes a solution that comes very quickly when needed. His understanding of tactics is really high, I'm sure that if you don't give Coach Satria confidence then he will shine in other teams and it will be very painful for me" Coach Giovanni said.
Seeing Coach Giovanni who continues to convince the figure of Coach Satria as his successor later, plus a statement that was just thrown by him made Mr. Sardi so think twice. He became convinced of the decision and agreed to give Coach Satria the opportunity to replace Coach Giovanni.
"I will give the opportunity to Coach Satria, because I trust what your coach says. Hopefully after this Cananga FC Mining will continue to advance in a better direction" said Mr. Sardi with a smile.
Hearing him makes Coach Giovanni so relieved and happy, he then thanked Mr. Sardi while greeting him. Finished their meeting that day, Coach Giovanni will part ways with the team he has raised for approximately 4 years. Of course, this news will be kept secret first, before in the end Coach Giovanni himself will say this in front of his children later.
After shaking hands with Mr. Sardi. Coach Giovanni walked back out of the management room, but before he opened the door, Coach Giovanni once again turned to face Mr. Sardi with a happy face.
"One more thing, before I get out of here. I will give the most beautiful farewell gift to the club, so just wait for the gift later boss" he said then Coach Giovanni pulled the door and out of the room with a passionate feeling, he said, one game today will be his proof.
The match against Borneo Putra in the advanced round of the league. In the match that runs two legs later, Pemambangan Cananga FC will fight for one ticket to the final to win the Indonesia Premier League.
The opponent they will face is quite heavy, but he has prepared tactics and strategies that will destroy the defense of the opposing team later. Winning is the death price for the game this time, as well as to secure their place in the second leg later. Therefore, Coach Giovanni's goal is very clear, which is to win against Borneo Putra no matter how.
