The return of DNA is the same trend of European giants in recent years, but there is only one head coaching position, many who are willing to be loyal and wise in the parent team, and the more ideal destination is obviously to enter the management and complete the transformation of life with connections, experience and professional perspective. However, in many new positions such as the presidium, sports director, consultant and even scouting, the witness is also the mixed life of celebrities. Some people have monopoly of power, some people always hit the wall, some people must be personal, some people are hidden, in the new starting line, the merits and losses of celebrities are destined to be like the player era, let the fans and the media comment.
Since coming to Bavaria from his hometown of Karlsruhe in 1994, Kahn's life has been almost completely tied to Bayern: 632 appearances in 14 years, eight Bundesliga champions and one uefa europa league, making It a natural thing that Kahn entered the board last January. Before entering the management position, Kahn obtained an MBA degree in general management, founded his own company, and also served as a commentator on German television, and his resume of "rotation" and "internship" was quite impressive, and it is no wonder that Rummenigge, who was scheduled to leave at the end of the year, handed over his authority to the "Lion King" half a year in advance. At Bayern, who values DNA, Kahn's declaration of appointment is as domineering as the players: "Of course I will be involved in the transfer of the team, but I am first and foremost a team worker, and I will always contribute my experience to help the team." ”
After taking office, Kahn's biggest move is to lead the contract extensions of Kimmich and Goretzka, who will form the core of Bayern's midfield in the next few years. Of course, Kahn's arrival after taking office is not all good news: although the summer window team last year has introduced a lot of reinforcements, most of them have become marginal people, and the three transfer windows have so far, only Yu Palmecano is worth the money. In the previous dark battle between Flick and Salihamidzic, Kahn finally fell to his former teammates, and the revival of Fu Shuai She bayern returned to the national team, which may be the first major personnel trade-off in Kahn's long presidency in the future.
In October 2010, Nedved, who had only been retired for a year, joined Juve's board of directors and was promoted to vice chairman in 2015. In a political system in which the Agnelli family rarely appears and is directly involved in specific decisions, the Iron Man is actually in charge. Nedved in the player era is a symbol of loyalty, blood, and the core of the few left behind after the "phone gate" incident, and no one is more suitable than the Czech to serve as the flag of the team, whether as a player or a manager.
However, unlike the zero bad evaluation of the player era, Nedved after the upper management has more and more exposed the other side of the consternation, especially in the management of the team, the Czechs who are not at odds with Allegri and insist on getting rid of it quickly have laid the foundation for the end of the Juve league and the disaster of the wall, and after that, Sarri and Pirlo are even more whimsical and chaotic, and as the most important operation in his tenure, C Ronaldo's high-profile joining and frustrated departure have made Nedved both lose a lot of money and gain more than "president" A more dismal ending before joining. A lamentable fact is that at the beginning of Nedved's tenure, the Bianconeri sat on the middle and young high-performing stocks such as Marchisio, Vidal, Pogba, etc., which were originally promising, but now, the team has become more and more degenerated into an old, dull, stubborn twilight army. In terms of loyalty to the Agnelli family, Nedved is undoubtedly a model of human subjects, but it is precisely through this vice-president who has monopolized power that Juve seems to have begun a new round of decline.
26 years ago, Ajax won the Big Ear Cup for the last time for the Dutch First Division, and the two major local cadres, Overmars and Van der Sar, who were able to wait until the age of 24 and 28 at the beginning of the Bosman Act to bid farewell to their parent team, have become a model of loyalty. After retiring, the two returned to the club on the front foot and the back foot, starting from the grass-roots roles such as youth coach and marketing supervisor, and gradually promoted to the real power faction of the board of directors, the two have worked together in management for more than 9 years, even exceeding the love of teammates.
At the beginning of the two people's tenure, Ajax, absolutely not to talk about the family foundation, although Frank De Boer led the team to win four consecutive league titles, but the turbulent atmosphere of the club has increased unabated, after 2014, for four seasons" Santa Claus and the Dutch First Division champions have no chance, the Champions League qualification has become a ghost gate. In the face of the pervasive critical thinking of Dutch fans, the two who have underserved in performance have always believed in the youth training tradition and offensive football, and ushered in a wall after four years of facing the wall: de Ligt, De Jong, van der Beek, Ziesh, Tadić led the youth army, the first to win the Dutch championship and then reach the champions league four, the previously precarious Tenghach, but also became a famous dutch long-lost new sharp figure since the new century, behind the team revival, the two former dynasty heroes who continued to cultivate deeply, finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon. What is even more valuable is that Arsenal and Manchester United have successively issued invitations to Overmars and Van der Sar, but in the face of the More Impressive Salary and Wider Space in the Premier League, the two did not hesitate to choose to stay.
In August 2018, just a few weeks after the Elliott Fund joined Milan, Paulo Maldini, who had been away from the club for 9 years after retiring, finally returned as the director of sports strategic development, and for milan legends who had previously been more in the tennis court, they decided to return to the parent team in the year of knowing their destiny, no doubt experiencing a fierce ideological struggle. After all, wearing a red and black robe for 25 years and winning 25 championship titles, Maldini, who has always had a strong sense of responsibility, has "idol baggage", which is also understandable.
However, the horse team is still the horse team that shoulders the moral burden of the moment of danger. After taking office, former teammate Boban and the senior management left immediately, the former director Leonardo also returned to Paris, the horse team, which did not have to be responsible for the new senior management, unexpectedly chose to stay, as the team's glue, in milan revival of the future of the uncertain moment, to avoid a deeper division of the club. Since then, Maldini, who has been naturally promoted to technical director, has strongly rejected the initiative of the top to introduce Ronnick, supported Pioli to stay in office, and locked in the league runner-up as desired in the final battle of last season, and reappeared in the Champions League after 2745 days. Despite Milan's limited financial resources, Maldini, with his charisma and discernment, has completed excellent operations such as renewing Ibrahimovic's contract, signing Giroud, promoting Tonari's salary cut, and recruiting Menion, so that the Rossoneri who lost Donnarumma and Char khanoglu this summer maintained their combat strength to the greatest extent. The horse team that witnessed his son Daniel galloping on the field is continuing to write the legend of three generations of grandchildren and one loyal martyr with a new role.
In Arsenal's 49 unbeaten and two-time double-title journey, Edu from Brazil may not be the one remembered by fans for the first time, but he is always the one to be trusted at key moments. As an all-rounder and substitute under Wenger's account, Edu's four years in Highbury have witnessed the most glorious years of the Gunners, in Arsenal, which lacks championship resumes from manager to players, as early as 2011, Edu, who was the sports director at Corinthians and then the dispatcher in Brazil, although only 43 years old, his resume has long been "gilded".
After the departure of Gazidis and Mirlinstadt, the return of the Brazilians undoubtedly represents stability and unity. And Kroenke, who has always cut the goal, has also given the Brazilian enough transfer funds to show his talent. But what is lamentable is that Edu, although he has a much richer budget than his mentor Wenger, does not have his discerning talent, and a series of operations after taking office are controversial: whether it is Arteta, who fired Emery to find another manager with zero experience, or the cold-blooded move of dismissing as many as 55 staff members after the outbreak of the epidemic, especially the frequent appearance of several transfer windows, the team's record has not risen but declined, which has made the Emirates Stadium boiling upside down. The biggest change in Edu's tenure is that it has changed the gunners' long-term scouting and manager-led transfers, and has become a double-line promotion of management and big-name agents, especially the agent crocodile Horabuchin, who has a close personal relationship with Edu, bringing many samba faces such as William, David Luiz, Gabriel and so on to the team, but none of them can reach the height of Edu's player era.
Although he only played in Paris for one season as a player, after leaving Inter in 2011, Leonardo, who had a close relationship with Qataris, became the real voice of the ball after the change of ownership of Paris Saint-Germain. Although during his first career in Greater Paris, Leonardo's curtain was heavily punished for attacking the referee, which was slightly disgraceful. However, after a short period of employment in Milan for half a year, the Brazilian who returned to Huadu was appointed as the sports director, which shows that Halife and Leonardo are "true love" to each other.
Leonardo in the player era is more of a green leaf around the star players, but after taking office at the top, the Brazilian is the one who is arbitrary. In the first transfer window after returning to Paris, Leonardo operated a number of cadres such as Diallo, Guy, Herrera, Icardi and Navas, and gradually completed the change of the team of The Enrique era. Chasing Messi for two consecutive summers and winning in one fell swoop, this summer took advantage of UEFA's relaxation of financial fairness review to sign Hakimi, Wenaldim, Ramos, Donnarum and other strong reinforcements, which shows the Brazilian's "stability and fierceness". However, Leonardo, who is becoming more and more powerful, also has a black history that is difficult to break. His break with Tuchel has caused the team that has risen steadily in recent years to collapse in the first half of this year, and the German's re-employment at Chelsea and the performance of winning the European championship have really disgraced Leonardo; and this season, sitting on the most luxurious book strength in Europe, Paris, the Champions League debut has smashed the pot, gambling on Pochettino's Leonardo, even though he is good at dancing, but the Qatari hosts who have waited for the Big Ear Cup can be patient until they are anxious?
In the past few seasons, the Red Devils, who have been criticized for "lifting the league", have always been ridiculed by the industry for the lack of professionalism at the top level and spending a lot of money to do small things, after all, nearly 10 years after Ferguson retired, Manchester United spent no less than 1 billion pounds, and the Premier League championship lost ground but failed to recover. And Fletcher in the player era is precisely the original "ball blind screener": the Scottish midfielder who was mocked by Roy Keane for not being the standard of Manchester United's first-team players, relying on the blue-collar spirit that Lord Verde most appreciates, has become the head of Manchester United to win the Champions League again. After a brief stint in the Manchester United echelon and first team, in March this year, Manchester United announced a number of brand-new personnel appointments, and the Scotsman, who had been in the coaching staff of Thorschal for less than a quarter, became the Red Devils' technical director!
Although the departure has entered the countdown, over the years, Manchester United's Woodward-led reinforcement model has been criticized by all walks of life, and mourinho has repeatedly hoped that the team will add a director role to facilitate targeted reinforcements. However, compared with the rest of the giants' counterparts, the "rookie" Fletcher's business experience is close to zero, not so much as the transfer power in hand, but rather as a high counselor, to provide rationalization suggestions to the top management, to avoid taking more detours and spending more money. The real person in charge of the transfer negotiations is the new football director, Murtaf, who is also in charge. Of course, Fletcher's appointment is also the instruction of the manager, and the Manchester United manager needs a connector who has the same background and starting point as himself, and can have a smooth dialogue with the top management. And when the summer window ends and the two's former teammate C Ronaldo returns, Fletcher, who was listed in The Manchester United personnel structure 3 years ago, will obviously play a more important role in the future.
After Makelele, Mu I's "Champion Team" is reuniting with the Blues in a new capacity. As one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of the Blues, Cech, who briefly played at the ice rink after retiring from Arsenal, returned to the Bridge, and although the title was not "high-powered" technical director, but technical adviser, Abu and Granovskaya eventually gave up berletti, Barak and other former famous players, and chose to hand over this role to the "tanker". Similar to the calm and humble style of the player era, the Czechs, who were "nameless" at the beginning, rarely intervened in the manager's decision-making, and played a role in the transfer operation and the role arrangement of the players with more personality charm. Cech, who signed with Werner with the Blues, went to Germany to lobby Red Bull's top scorer, and in his daily work, Cech rarely made a statement, but more analysis and advice for the team management and technical level to reach a final decision.
Despite his low profile, Petr Cech, who was once in Chelsea's squad as a player last season, has inadvertently become a topic of conversation. Compared with the Czechs, Paul Ferreira, who followed Mourinho to the Premier League, is more familiar with "silence is gold". Since leaving the team in 2013, he has been quietly camping in the Chelsea echelon as a technical coach for out-of-loan players. In recent years, Mount, Rees James, Abraham, Tomori and more and more youth elites have been able to emerge in the Blues, and Ferreira and other team members who are responsible for the "taxis" going abroad to fight monster training are naturally indispensable.
