The initial contract between the club and Hiddink was for one year. Originally, according to normal procedures, the club had proposed to renew the contract many times, but Hiddink has yet to give a reply.

In the past, even if the personnel department raised the matter on various occasions, he would deliberately find various excuses to avoid it. But this time, as the contract period was about to expire, he finally gave a clear answer, that is, he would not renew the contract.

.Everyone was quite surprised by this result.

"You don't need to pay too much attention, because this day will come sooner or later. It is mainly due to my personal reasons and has nothing to do with you. I am also very grateful to everyone for supporting my work over the past year.

Originally, the stage that was more suitable for me would have been the national team and European competitions. I really didn’t expect that you guys could actually meet the conditions I proposed, but I couldn’t break my promise, so I came. In fact, it’s pretty good, and I can still count on it.

Had the experience of coaching an American team.

But my original goal was to win the highest honor of the Copa Libertadores this year. Maybe I was too hasty. After all, you are still a team that has just been promoted to the first division, and in my heart

The deadline is only one year, and he will leave regardless of success or failure.

Well, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever, and I will eventually leave one day. It’s just a matter of later or earlier.” Hiddink also gave his explanation.

"So, have you found your next home? Don't worry, we won't stop you from staying or going. I'm just curious about which club made your heart beat. Isn't it convenient to reveal it?" Regarding the coach's recent interactions with the outside world.

Of course, Li Ruolan also heard about the connection.

"Okay, actually there's nothing that can't be said, and everyone will know it sooner or later.

In fact, the Dutch national team invited me at the beginning of this year, but I already had a contract at that time, and breaking the contract was not my style, so I didn’t agree to them. Besides, I had already coached the Dutch national team once.

, there is nothing to regret. But this time is different, because the club that invited me is Chelsea in the Premier League, so I still agreed to them, and I also want to go to such a giant to try." Hiddink said calmly.

Where to go next.

"Okay, at the latest we will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the matter. Then we will need your last appearance and cooperation. In addition, there is also a gift from the club, and I also wish you can be there.

"Bian's coaching has been a success! Although it's only been a year, it's not easy to get together. Tonight we specially held a farewell banquet for you." Although it is understood that the old coach has decided to leave, Li Ruolan is still very happy.

Respond politely and provide convenience.

Li Zhao also stood aside. Although he witnessed all this, he didn't say much. After Li Ruolan finished speaking, he also sent his blessing to Hiddink.

"Thank you, Miss Li and Mr. Richard, for your understanding. Instead of complaining, you gave me your blessings, which makes me very grateful. As for the dinner, it does need to be held, but it should be initiated by me, so please help me call it.

Come with other members of the club, everyone must have a great time tonight." Although Hiddink had thought of countless reactions after explaining this matter before, when this moment actually came, everyone still expressed their blessings to him.

Afterwards, Hiddink felt grateful and even a little guilty.

In the end, Hiddink took the initiative to host the dinner that night and booked the lobby of the largest Chinese restaurant in Harbor City to invite everyone. Although the players and coaching staff present also felt sorry for the old coach's decision to leave, they

They all still expressed their blessings to him and took photos with him before the dinner started.

Although Hiddink drank a lot of wine during the banquet, no one deliberately tried to drink him. Although his cheeks were a little red, his thoughts were still clear at this moment. Most people left, but he left a few

A member of the coaching staff stayed, so naturally he had something to explain.

"I won't say any more. I believe everyone can understand that after I leave, the position of team coach will almost certainly be taken by Xiao Su. Although he still has a slight lack of coaching experience,

He has also gained a certain amount of experience by my side, and his abilities are worthy of recognition, so here I also ask everyone to assist him well." Hiddink first established this tone, and after everyone expressed their support, he then

Then he talked about some things you should pay attention to after leaving.

"Don't worry, we all know this, and we will fully support him to continue to lead the team." The person who spoke was the other most influential assistant coach Jela on the coaching staff besides Hiddink and Su Maozhen.

.If it weren’t for Su Maozhen’s relationship, perhaps he would be the more suitable person to take over. Unexpectedly, this time Yela also chose to stay and help the team tide over the difficulties. Of course, there must be Hiddink’s instruction in this.

It is also very interesting to talk about the acquaintance between Jela and Hiddink. They were rivals on the court. In the 2008 European Cup qualifiers between Russia and Estonia, Hiddink led the team to defeat Jela twice 2-0. It didn’t take long.

, Jela returned to the Netherlands to work in Eindhoven, and his position was changed to a youth training instructor. In September 2012, Hiddink, who was still coaching Anzhi, dug him into the team. This was the first time the two worked together.

Jela also changed his role and became the team's technical director, and has been following Hiddink ever since.

With him taking the lead, the rest of the coaching staff had no objections and all agreed. However, Su Maozhen, who was about to become the acting coach, was a little moved at this time and didn't know what to say.

Perhaps knowing what Su Maozhen was thinking, Hiddink stood beside him and said: "The members of this coaching staff are all very good, especially Yela. There is no doubt about his ability. There is something you don't understand in the future."

, you can ask him for advice."

"I'm really sorry. It's because we failed to live up to expectations that we couldn't keep you." Su Maozhen still felt a little guilty about Hiddink's departure. He always felt that it was because the team failed to meet the coach's expectations that he had the idea.

Go away.

"You can't think like that. In fact, this may also be a kind of fate. In the future, the burden of the team will depend on you. Of course, even if you have the help of others, in the final analysis, you still have to decide big things.

Only in this way can you truly grow.

Through my observations during this period, I found that you are indeed a talent in this area, and I believe that you will become an excellent head coach in the future." While Hiddink patted Su Maozhen on the shoulder, he said

This thick notebook was pushed in front of him.

"This is...?!" Su Maozhen asked doubtfully.

"Here are my actual combat records of various events over the years, as well as some personal experiences and tactical summaries. I give them to you now. If you study them carefully, I believe it will be of great help to you." Hiddink responded.

.

"Mr. Gus, what do you think of the remaining four league games? Is it possible for us to win the championship?" Su Maozhen asked after briefly looking through the notebook, putting it away properly.

question.

"According to my prediction, the Portuguese club is very likely to win the second position in the final ranking this year, but the hope of competing for the league championship is very slim. You have also seen the performance of Corinthians in this year's league.

They performed very well, rarely making mistakes, and they are six points behind us. It will be extremely difficult to catch up with them in the remaining four games."

Hiddink gave the answer after thinking for a while, but then changed the topic: "Well..., but it can't be said that there is really no chance this year, it is just that the possibility is smaller, so don't give up just yet.

As long as they make mistakes in subsequent games, and we win several other games in a row, and win the final showdown with them, we will be able to win the championship.

But don’t think too much. If it were me, I might be completely bold and let go and treat the remaining four games as training. If it works, it will be a surprise. If it doesn’t, it will not be left behind.

I have regrets."

Hiddink was indeed not optimistic about the Portuguese's championship situation this year, but he did not want to dampen Su Maozhen's enthusiasm. Maybe he could really create a miracle! So he encouraged him in the end.

The next morning, Hiddink attended the club's press conference as scheduled and announced his resignation at the meeting, causing an uproar among the outside world.

It was also at this time that he realized that he was still a little reluctant to give up, and he shed tears unconsciously during the dinner. But now that he had made a decision, there was no reason to go back on it, and it was not in line with his policy.

In the evening after the press conference, Hiddink set off for the airport. He had already booked a flight back to Amsterdam, and Li Zhao and his party were naturally going to see him off on his last journey.

"Okay everyone, just send it here. Although I left this time, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. And I have also coached many national teams, maybe in the near future

I will coach the national team of country C, and then the players of nationality C in the club will become my team members again. Of course, what I care about most is you. If I can promote your naturalization, everything will be more perfect.

"Hiddink suddenly thundered before leaving.

"I hope so!" Li Zhao was noncommittal about this. It seemed that it would be extremely difficult to change his nationality back to country C. And for the national team of country C, his feelings were also very complicated. He had both persistent support and
Chapter completed!
