"I have a job here. I don't know if you're interested?"
Hearing Manuel Arango's words, Li Ang froze for a moment.
There was no doubt that finding a job was his most urgent need at the moment. At first, Li Ang thought that with his resume as the manager of Real Madrid's under-17 A team, it should not be difficult to find a new job. But now he understood that it was not optimistic. To be exact, it was very difficult.
One of the important reasons was that he was a Chinese. They did not believe in the coaching ability of a young Chinese man. Some clubs even looked at him with suspicion. They suspected that Li Ang's resume as the manager of Real Madrid's Cadet A team was fabricated. The reason was simple. They themselves expressed doubts about this Chinese man. How could Real Madrid hire this person? And what did this resume say? Resign from Real Madrid? Ha, you resigned from Real Madrid's Cadet A team and came to us to seek a job. Who are you trying to fool?
They actually treated him as a liar.
To put it bluntly, this was some kind of discrimination and disapproval of China's football, and now it was being used on Li Ang.
Moreover, Li Ang knew that even if his resume as the manager of Real Madrid's under-17 A team was suspected, it would be more and more unconvincing as time went on.
Therefore, his need for a new job was even more urgent.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Arango in front of him now asked if he was willing to offer him a job.
Li Ang was surprised by this. His first reaction was that the other party might have made a mistake.
"Sir, I'm looking for a job as a coach …" Li Ang said.
"I'm offering such a job." Old Arango waved his hand. "I understand what you're going to say. You can rest assured about this."
Li Ang's heart tightened. Venita secretly glanced at him and saw his fists suddenly clenched.
"Sir, are you serious?" Li Ang asked, his breathing rapid.
"Of course." Old Arango nodded and said with a smile.
Li Ang took a deep breath. Even though this was a ray of light when he was at the end of his rope, he forced himself to calm down. Then, he asked a second question, "Sir, you just asked me if I would mind leaving Madrid. So, this club is not a Madrid club?"
"Yes." Old Arango nodded. "You don't want to leave Madrid?"
"Of course not," Li Ang said, "The location is not important. I only care about the job itself. Who is this club?"
"Sporting de Gijón," Old Arango said proudly.
Venita pursed her lips. She didn't seem to like the old man's arrogance.
Li Ang immediately searched for information about this club in his mind. This was a Segunda División B team. It was a veteran team. To be exact, it was a veteran team in Segunda División B. Well, a team that had been in Segunda División B for many years. From this, he could conclude that this club's strength was average.
The team's club was located in Gijón, which was a port city in northern Spain. That was all he knew about this club. To be honest, he was surprised by the unfamiliar name.
Of course, he was surprised. Li Ang was not picky. On the one hand, he was not qualified to be picky in his current situation. In addition, a Segunda División B club was a very suitable choice for the current Li Ang. Of course, the most important thing was, as he said, the team was not the most important thing now. The most important thing was the job itself.
"So, what is my specific job?" Li Ang asked. This was the question he was most concerned about.
"The coach of Sporting de Gijón B team," Old Arango said.
Sporting de Gijón's reserve team was second only to Sporting de Gijón's first team. Hearing that it was a job of this level, Li Ang was surprised. He did not expect that the other side would give him such a high platform. Then he thought of the most important question.
"Excuse me, what is my job?" he asked.
The coach of Team B was different. He could be the head coach of Team B, or he could be one of the many coaches, which was the assistant coach. If he was one of the assistant coaches, then what was the difference between this job and the assistant coach of Real Madrid's under-20 team, which made him resign in anger? The latter was even more important.
Hearing Li Ang's question, Old Arango smiled. He knew that this was the question the young man was most concerned about.
"The head coach of Team B," Manuel Arango said with a smile.
"Sir, are you sure?" Li Ang was short of breath and almost stood up. The other side's answer was a big surprise for him!
The head coach of Team B was a very important position for any football club. To put it bluntly, if the current head coach of Sporting de Gijón's first team suddenly resigned or was suddenly dismissed for some reason, then the head coach of Team B would often become the new head coach of the first team if the team did not sign a new head coach in advance. In that case, he would be coaching the first team of a Segunda División club.
Of course, Li Ang did not think so much at this time. He was already very surprised by the position of the head coach of Team B of a Segunda División club.
"Of course." Old Arango nodded. "Unless you are not confident in doing this job well."
"Of course I am confident." Li Ang immediately said loudly. He was so excited that he smiled embarrassedly when he saw Arango and Venita looking at him.
Just now, he was so focused on communicating with old Arango that he even forgot about Venita. At this time, Li Ang looked at Venita, who was looking at him with interest. He calmed down and asked a question.
"Sir, I want to confirm one thing." Li Ang chose his words carefully. "Did you offer this job out of recognition of my ability, or just because of my relationship with Miss Arango?"
"I have nothing to do with you." Venita snorted. She was obviously still angry at him for exposing her lie.
"Is this question important?" Old Arango asked, holding his forehead.
"It's very important." Li Ang's face was serious. "I hope you hired me because of my ability. In addition, although I just said it, I think it's necessary to repeat it again. Miss Arango and I really met by chance. You don't have to do this because … "
Old Arango smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Li Ang's words. "Li, I'm glad you asked this question. It means that I made the right choice."
"What do you mean?" Li Ang asked, his heart pounding.
"You don't have confidence in your ability?" Old Arango asked again.
"Of course not."
"Then, what else do you have doubts about?" Old Arango laughed heartily.
Li Ang was stunned for a moment before he understood. He scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled. There was an unprecedented expression in his eyes.
Venita felt that she saw a light in the man's eyes.
Manuel Arango looked at the excited young man with interest. He was quite satisfied with Li Ang. He had just learned that Li Ang had done a good job as the manager of Real Madrid's under-17 team A. If he could do a good job in Real Madrid's Cadet A, then he should be able to try and challenge the job in Sporting de Gijón's B team.
Sporting de Gijón had been in the Segunda División for too long. His biggest hope now was to see the team return to La Liga and return to the stage where they should have been.
If it weren't for Li Ang's young age, and his lack of coaching experience, they wouldn't have been able to rest assured. If he was a coach who had worked in Real Madrid's Cadet A for many years, old Arango would even consider him as a choice for the manager of the First Team. An excellent Real Madrid coach was a gold-plated signboard. He was not very satisfied with the current manager of the team. If Sporting de Gijón failed to make it to La Liga this season, he would not hesitate to change the manager.
At this time, Li Ang asked a question, a question that he later thought was silly.
"Sir, can you make the decision on this matter?" He asked a little nervously. Happiness came too suddenly, and he was suddenly a little worried. He suddenly realized a problem. He had not asked about the other party's identity. Why did this Mr. Arango dare to give him this job?
