4 Chapter 4 - How about Klopp!

The debt has been paid and fans have also calmed down after hearing about the fortune of Felix.

Now when everything is settled, the first thing that Felix wants to do is not to create a luxurious lineup of future superstars, but to find a more suitable coach.

A stupid coach can bring an invincible team to that level where it can lose to even a Third Tier team, While, a good coach can make an amateur team win a Championship.

Note it: the most important person in a Football Club is the Coach.

When Felix ran a record check on the current Coach of Notts County, he found that he was the true definition of a Stupid Coach.

When Felix kicked him out, he was so angered that he also took 5 core players whose contract have expired and the team became unstable while the Position of the Head-coach of the team became Vacant.

But Felix was not disappointed by this, instead he was also going to clean all of the useless players in the team, Now he took some of them so his work became much less.

Of course, this thought came in Felix's mind, that he was also a Football coach in past life So, why not personally lead the team. After all he also have a little bit of experience, and he also know about some tactics of famous coaches as he has read about them a lot. Implying those tactics in the team of the future superstars and then walk on the road towards Glory where no one can stop us.

But he hurriedly calmed himself because he knew that his major advantage is that he knows what is going to happen in the future but for Coaching it's like a major risk. As for leading training schedules, designing tactics, directing games, etc, it is not his advantage but only a minor strength.

Being a Coach is something only a wise person can do, because the pressure is great, very much hard work, working from morning to late nights everyday, such work should be left to professionals who are willing to do it. As for himself, just be a Hard-working Chairman.

As for the selection of the coach, Felix hesitated for a long time. He knew many good coaches that have scored incredible feats in their career but he was not able to select one for his team.

At the beginning, his idea was to dig Pep Gaurdiola. He knew it was not sure if it can be possible but If he can be persuaded to serve as the Coach of the team; it maybe a good choice because Felix knows how much this man has achieved only in his first season.

However, the problem is Felix is not sure if Gaurdiola will accept his offer or not because the status of Notts County is not that much favorable to attract Gaurdiola and another reason is that Felix does not knows if Barcelona has already offered any contract to him or talked to him for being the Head Coach this season, So, Felix crossed Gaurdiola on his list.

Another option is, Diego Simeone

Now that person should be in River Plate, He will succeed in the next clubs also and then will be poached by Athletico Madrid. Well, he is quite famous already in the Circle.

Felix appreciates all the strengths of Simeone and partially agrees with his football concept, but when it comes to the tactical system, he always feels that Simeone's football is not suitable for Premier League.

He believes that both Gaurdiola and Simeone have beautiful way of football but they are not suitable for Premier League.

As for other famous coaches, they are either an assistant in the European Giants and some of them are still playing but will retire soon.

Finally, a name appeared in his mind and Felix's eyes became eager to dig this person out.

- Jurgen Klopp, One of the best Coach in the time period from which Felix came from.

This is Felix's selection for the position of the Head Coach for Notts County. He is sure that in the future, Klopp can lead Notts County towards the Glory, Only if Klopp would accept his invitation.

Klopp is known for his offensive football and advanced techniques and tactics. This is why Felix greatly appreciates him. Although his Manager Career was not great like other geniuses, he was absolutely strong and dominant.

Not to mention the future achievements he achieved. He won 5 German Titles- Two Bundesliga Championships, Two Supercups and one German Cup.

He won Four Titles with Liverpool- One Premier League, One Champions League, One FIFA Club World Cup and one Supercup.

However, at this time, Klopp should be at Mainz 05 home. After not achieving the promotion, he resigned from the position of Head Coach.

Felix must start as soon as possible, because according to his memories, soon Klopp will be the head coach of the Yellow Army, Borussia Dortmund, leading the team and earning his first titles.

After deciding on the candidate, Felix flew non-stop to Germany and came to the home of Mainz 05 in Mainz

Although currently, he is like an uninvited guest but Felix is very clear that some things are better to be open and straightforward. Excessive hypocrisy may not necessarily have a good result, On the contrary, it will make people feel bad and disgusted.

"Are you really the Chairman of a Club?" Klopp looked at Felix who was generously seated on the couch in his office and asked in surprised tone, because Felix looked like an ordinary young teenager, not the chairman of an English club.

Felix shrugged and his face was showing the expression that, 'I knew it would be such a question'.

"Are you here to invite me to coach Notts County?"

Well, thanks to the Title of the Oldest Professional Club in the World, Klopp already knows somewhat about Notts County.

"Yes, Mr. Klopp, I think no one is more suitable to coach Notts County other than you! Please don't doubt my ambitions. Although the team is struggling in the Third Tier of the Second division, Our goal is to become the world's top giant, so I hope you can help me achieve this dream!" Felix's words sounded like a lunatic, but his almost carefree expression gave Klopp a different feeling. It's as if all of this is really possible.

Next, Felix told Klopp carefully about his plans for the Notts County club, building a Modern Training base, building a Modern Stadium, building a World-Class Youth Training Base, etc. These all are long-term plans but to Klopp it feels like the delusion of the young Chairman sitting beside him.

Klopp thinks that Felix has no sincerity in his words and their is also one core problem, the Team's Transfer Work.

The difference between the English club and other national leagues is that the Head Coach also has the responsibility of the Manager, especially in the job of player transfer, he has the right to speak and even decide, while the coaches of other leagues do not have this right.

If Klopp is really determined to coach the team that has always been in the Third Tier, then he must get the right to transfer players according to his wish, even if the team may not have that much money to invest in the Transfer Market, but he must able to determine the team's lineup to a certain extent, so that the team's lineup can serve the planned tactical system.

For Felix, the transfer-job regarding players can be decentralized to the Head Coach in the future, but for now it's not possible. Even if Klopp has the potential to become the Worlds Top Coach, it is impossible for him to clearly find out who will become the super star in the future, but for Felix it's an easy job.

According to Felix's ideas, with his grasp of the future, he wants to build a world-class lineup within the span of five years. At the same time, the youth training camp will also give place to many superstars, At that time, it does not matter if the transfer is decentralized to the coach.

"I can guarantee that after this summer, I will give the team a very promising and competitive lineup, even if it fights in the Premier League, it will not be inferior to the Giants!" Felix's voice was quite loud but filled with confidence.

But what responded to him was Klopp's indifference and serious face. No one would believe such a blank check without any real possibility.

But Felix was not discouraged. He knew that with only a promise, he could not impress Klopp.

"Mr. Klopp, Mainz 05 is already not going to promote this season, Why don't you resign and travel with me around the European Continent collecting the Future stars and then you will know that I am not lying to you." This is Felix's last resort. He believes that when the team lineup will be fully portrayed, Klopp after seeing such a lineup of promising stars will happily nod to coach at Notts County.

Klopp also agreed to this statement after thinking for some time, So, after two days the trip around the European Continent began.
