317 Renewal
"The youngest head coach in the history of the Champions League top eight!"
After the home game with Galatasaray, not only the English media are reporting, but even many European media are reporting.
Because after playing four games, many of the top eight teams have come out. The first ones to come out are Bayern and Blackburn in Group C, Real Madrid and Arsenal in Group D.
It was not surprising that the two teams, Bayern and Blackburn, appeared. But Group D is a group of death, and it is surprising that Real Madrid and Arsenal can break through so quickly. However, even if it is an accident, the layout they occupy cannot be compared with Blackburn, especially George.
Why?
Because Blackburn has something that interests many media. That's Blackburn's head coach George. Levy is only thirty-two years old this year.
There are no leading coaches in their early thirties, but they are already very scarce. In the early thirties, it is rare to lead the team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. No, it should be said that no one has been able to lead the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the age of 32.
What's more, the coach led Blackburn to the UEFA Cup last season.
All the media realized that the birth of a world-class handsome man was unstoppable.
The Team News even made a column to introduce the coaching experience of George, a young coach. This includes George's achievements as Burnley's head coach and later achievements at Burnley. So much so that George later led Burnley, who was still in the League One, to win the League Cup and the FA Cup.
After that, George arrived in Blackburn.
George's results in Blackburn are also quite excellent, step by step.
He finished fourth in the league in the first season and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
The second place in the second season, the champion of the UEFA Cup. Won the place in the Champions League.
In the third season, so far, it has ranked first in the Premier League, the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and the final of the League Cup. A series of results indicate a steady rise in Blackburn's performance in the past few seasons.
Unlike the English tabloid controlled by Murdoch, Team Newspaper is a very serious newspaper in Europe. They rarely have any grandstanding news. As long as their news is reported, it is probably true.
As soon as George appeared in the Team Newspaper, George's name immediately began to resound throughout the European football world.
Although Blackburn was lucky in the draw of the Champions League group stage this time, he was not selected into the death group. But Blackburn's ability to break through the group stage twice and enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League has shown Blackburn's strong strength and George's ability.
Even the serious Team News pays so much attention to Blackburn's entry into the quarterfinals, and it is highly respected by George.
Not only these newspapers, but also the character introduction of this issue on the UEFA official website is George. In Istanbul, Turkey, George's photos of talking to the media are on the official website of UEFA.
The evaluation on UEFA's official website is "A talented coach from England!"
Now the whole European media is chasing George's news. It can be imagined that British football's comments on Blackburn and George's attention.
UEFA said that George is a talented coach, but British football has directly given the title of famous coach to George.
In the past, some media also thought that George had some achievements in British football. If you want to really become a famous coach, you have to be supplemented by the achievements of Europe. Because of his own league, there are many people in history as the head coach of European soft-footed shrimp.
But it is obvious that George is not such a person.
When George played the League Cup for the first time last season, he led the team to become the League Cup champion. This season is also the first time to play in the Champions League, and it has already reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Even if such a result is a handsome man, it is not too much.
At this time, George was already hot and hot in British football. Coupled with the news that Chelsea President Bates was willing to give George an annual salary of three million pounds a few months ago, George became a favorite in the coaching world in an instant.
Many media have begun to catch the wind, connecting George with many clubs.
The first person to contact George was Ferguson's Manchester United. Many media have said conclusively that Ferguson is about to retire. The successor he chose is George, the current head coach of Blackburn. Levy.
Ferguson did show the idea of retiring.
But George knew that Ferguson was an old man. Not to mention retirement, I will be in the football world for more than ten years in the future, and I will still be energetic. There is no sign of retirement. More than ten years later, I don't know how many coaches and clubs are waiting for Ferguson to get out of here. But he stayed in the position of head coach of Manchester United.
The second person who had a relationship with George turned out to be a rich family from Italy. It's from Inter Milan.
George doesn't even know if it's true. Anyway, the media said so. Moratti thinks that George, the coach, is amazing. Maybe it can reverse the decline of Inter Milan in recent years.
But George can only shrink his neck, and he won't go to Inter at this time. At this time, Inter is a black hole. It is not only a star black hole, but also a coach black hole. No matter how powerful the coach is, when you arrive at Inter Milan, you just wait to walk in Waterloo.
The third club that has something to do with George is still from Italy. This time it's the Italian Lazio Club. This is even more outrageous. Even if Lazio carries a big sedan chair, George can't go to Lazio.
In the end, there are other people like Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur on the list.
Some media even vowed that George had met with Moratti. Or Daniel and George have an agreement or something.
It seems that George has become a popular target for all clubs. In fact, so far, George himself has not received an invitation. This also made George understand what it means to be born out of nothing.
But no matter what, Blackburn entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and George completely became a young coach in European football.
There are many such rumors, and many of them are dazzling.
If George was not in the bureau, even George would think it was true just by reading their newspaper. It's about these reporters. Their pen is absolutely the best. George sometimes thinks that if these reporters change their job in the future, they can write online novels online for a living.
This imagination is absolutely unmatched by others.
However, this rumor soon disappeared.
Because Blackburn Club held a press conference the night before the League Cup final.
On behalf of Blackburn Club, Williams announced that the renewal negotiations between Blackburn and George have been completed. George will sign a three-year contract renewal with the club. Williams didn't say anything else, just the three-year contract extension.
There are no answers to other questions from the media. Finally, he said, "Coach Levy is the head coach of Blackburn. Blackburn is a team built entirely according to Coach Levy's ideas, and the club and Coach Levy hope to maintain the current cooperative relationship.
I want to say that Coach Levy will definitely stay in Blackburn. He will create a legend that belongs to him in Blackburn and lead Blackburn to create a new history that belongs to Blackburn.
The news was not only held a press conference, but also announced on the homepage of Blackburn's official website.
This news spread in British football as if it had wings.
Many people are speculating about how much George's annual salary will be this time. But Williams did not announce it.
However, many media still revealed that George's annual salary for this renewal of the contract exceeded 2.5 million pounds. Some media said it was three million pounds, while others said it was 3.5 million pounds. Anyway, none of the media speculated about two million pounds or less.
Not to mention 3 million pounds, 2.5 million pounds, even if it is 2 million pounds, it is the first annual salary of the current Premier League coach. It surpassed Ferguson and Wenger.
In fact, these media are powerful.
George's annual salary for the renewal of Blackburn this time reached 270,000 pounds. This is just a fixed salary, and there are many other bonuses. Even with this kind of contract, Allen is very dissatisfied.
Allen thought that if George hadn't been too anxious, he could have won a better contract for George.
But George is already satisfied with this kind of contract. Although George is arrogant, he dares not say that he is stronger than Ferguson and Wenger now. Or it's more important than their position in the club.
To get 1.7 million pounds, such a high annual salary is already quite high for George.
At present, the happiest is Blackburn fans. They don't care what George's salary is. All they know is that George will stay in Blackburn for the next three years. After hearing the news, they were all happy. George stayed, and Blackburn fans believe that Blackburn will never lack the championship in the future.
And Steven. Yellen spoke highly of the renewal of the contract in the Blackburn Evening News. "Blackburn's George era is about to come soon!"
Anyway, the renewal of the contract before the League Cup final made Blackburn players feel at once.
When George was interviewed by reporters, he smiled at the reporter about his annual salary and said, "This annual salary is really high, and I am very surprised. The final of the League Cup is coming soon. I'm under a lot of pressure.
The reporter was stunned. Would George also say that he was under a lot of pressure?
"You should be worthy of your salary. The salary is so high that I'm embarrassed if I don't win the championship. Fortunately, I think it's lucky to have a League Cup championship at this juncture.
Hearing George's words, the reporters understood that George was making a championship declaration in a roundabout way.
It's fun, it's so fun. George has played with Hollier many times, but this is the first time he has challenged so head-on.
