After the salary was negotiated, Rehager breathed a sigh of relief.

With such a generous annual salary, let alone the Chinese team, he would be willing to ask him to coach Brunei!

So, Rehager doesn't want to talk about collapse either.

Although the Chinese team's football level is worrying, it is not so bad that it is completely helpless.

What's more, since 2013, Zhang Huasong, who has run the fastest in the world and has good basic skills in football, has joined the Chinese team. The strength of the Chinese team is not weak.

Rehager has absolute confidence to lead the Chinese team to break through the Asian qualifiers of the Brazil World Cup and reach the World Cup finals.

As for what achievements can be achieved after entering the World Cup, we need to see the specific strength of the team. Anyway, it is impossible to miss a goal, win a game, and not score a point like the Chinese team in the 2002 World Cup.

Naturally, after learning from the coaching experience of the Greek national team, Rehager also made a request for how much prize money should he win the World Cup.

When he heard Rehager proposed to have a prize of 5 million euros after winning the World Cup, Qin Zhuozheng, Ye Chu and others rolled their eyes, thinking that Rehager was really crazy about money.

The Chinese team also wants to win the World Cup championship? People in China dare not think about it!

Everyone is happy just thinking about reaching the World Cup finals.

However, Zhang Huasong did not raise any objection and agreed to Rehager's request.

Because Zhang Huasong invested in Chinese football almost without asking for returns without paying back, and his ultimate goal was to win the World Cup.

Regardless of whether you can get it or not, at least you have to work hard to achieve this goal. What if it is achieved?

Since Rehager proposed such a high World Cup winning prize, he naturally wanted to get the money. Therefore, he would definitely lead the Chinese national team with all his heart and responsibilities, which is definitely a good thing for Chinese football.

Therefore, Zhang Huasong agreed to Rehager's bonus demand without hesitation.

All terms have been negotiated, and then the two parties are ready to sign the contract formally.

Of course, before signing the contract, there is another problem that needs to be dealt with, that is, the former local coach of the national team, Li Yanzhi.

There is no doubt that Zhang Huasong and the Football Association's actions were insulting to Li Yanzhi.

Therefore, Zhang Huasong came forward in person and had a long talk with Li Yanzhi, hoping that Li Yanzhi would understand and asked whether Li Yanzhi was willing to continue working in the national football coaching team.

If Li Yan is willing to stay, the salary can be referred to as the average salary of Rehhager's assistant, which is paid by Feixun, which is higher than Li Yanzhi's previous national football coach's salary.

Of course, Zhang Huasong's main purpose is to hope that Li Yanzhi will learn something from Rehager and provide some opportunities for improving the level of domestic local coaches.

Although Li Yanzhi felt insulted, Zhang Huasong personally came forward to interview him, which was a step forward. Moreover, being able to learn from the world-renowned coach Rehager is also a good opportunity to improve his personal abilities.

Therefore, Li Yanzhi finally agreed to join Rehager's coaching team.

Of course, in Rehagel's coaching staff, Li Yanzhi is basically an invisible person and has no say. He is really just learning things. The Football Association cannot do it if he wants to influence Rehagel.

After everything was agreed, on March 11, 2011, the Chinese Football Association held a signing ceremony and a press conference for the new coach of the men's football national team. Zhang Huasong led senior executives of Feixun Company to attend, attracting more than 100 domestic and foreign media to interview and report.

When the reporters saw that the person who appeared on the stage was the famous Otto in the world football world, everyone was immediately excited.

Especially for Chinese journalists, everyone seems to have seen the prospect of the Chinese team creating miracles like Kaiserslautern, a Greek mythology under the leadership of Otto.

Even if it cannot reach the level of Greek mythology, it should be very likely to allow the Chinese team to enter the World Cup finals with the level of Otto.

At least it is much higher than Li Yanzhi's team lead.

The signing ceremony suddenly became boiling.

"My God, Emperor Otto! Zhang Huasong really doesn't lie. He said he would really hire a world-famous coach!"

"The Miracle of Kaiserslautern, Greek mythology, is really exciting. I wish Otto the Great led the national football team to do an Oriental Miracle!"

"Yes! I just don't know how much it cost to Zhang Huasong to invite Emperor Otto?"

"It must be an astronomical figure, otherwise how could Emperor Otto come to Asia and teach in China?"

"No, I'll know after signing the contract!"

Under the excitement of media reporters throughout the audience, the Chinese Football Association and Rehager's team officially signed a contract and hired Rehager as the head coach of the Chinese men's football national team until the end of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers.

If it enters the World Cup finals, it will automatically be extended to the end of the Brazilian World Cup. Former head coach Li Yanzhi, as a member of Rehger's coach, will continue to serve as the national team coaching staff.

The salary of the Rehager team is transferred to the Football Association's national team's special account by Feixun under Zhang Huasong's name, and then sent to the Rehager team in the name of the Football Association.

Although everyone knows that the money was paid by Zhang Huasong, it must not be directly distributed to Rehager, the head coach of the national football team, by private companies.

Zhang Huasong paid the annual pre-tax salary to the team of Rehager through the Football Association. At the press conference after the signing of the contract, the reporters finally got the accurate numbers.

When Rehagel's annual salary of 11 million euros and his team's annual salary of 13 million euros was said by Xiao Yingyi, full-time vice chairman of the Football Association, the reporters were stunned.

Rehagel's annual salary is 11 million euros?

This number seems to be the highest among the world's football coaches?

The reporters asked their colleagues around them in disbelief and then everyone affirmed this fact.

The highest annual salary of the national team was 8.8 million euros for England's national team coach Capello, and the highest annual salary of the club was 10 million euros for Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid coach Mourinho.

There is no doubt that Rehagel's 11 million euros did surpass Mourinho and became the highest salary among football coaches in the world today.

Both domestic and foreign journalists were excited!

Originally, everyone thought that this was just a press conference of Zhang Huasong who sponsored the Football Association to invite a world-renowned coach out of his love for football. It would not cause much shock in the world football world.

But when Rehagel's annual salary came out, this news was a big deal even in the world football world, let alone in China.

When the press conference started, all the reporters pointed the questions at Zhang Huasong and Rehger, while the leader of the Football Association, Xiao Yingyi, was nakedly ignored.

Because everyone knows that in this big news, Zhang Huasong and Rehager are the protagonists.

The center of the problem is naturally why Rehager's annual salary is so high? Is Rehager worthy of such a high annual salary? Zhang Huasong thinks that Rehager's annual salary is worth it, do you think he is a sucker, etc...

You know, Mourinho's annual salary of 10 million euros is piled up with much more championship honors than Rehagel.

Although Rehagel's Kaiserslautern's miracle and Greek mythology are very powerful, the total number of championships in his coaching career is far less than Mourinho, who is much younger than him.

Even if this is Asia, known as the football desert, and the Chinese team, it will definitely be a premium to hire a world-renowned coach like Rehger, otherwise he would not be invited.

Everyone thought that Rehagel could get an annual salary of about 5 million euros, which was considered a good contract.

After all, his annual salary in Greece was only 1.2 million euros, which is the price after leading the team to win the European Cup.

If it can rise to 5 million at once, it is definitely worthy of Rehagel's fame and status.

Unexpectedly, Rehagel's annual salary in the end was directly up to tens of millions, even reaching 11 million, surpassing Mourinho's highest salary as the world football coach.

The reporters will naturally have some doubts.

Even though the money was not paid by the Football Association and was not related to taxpayers, the Chinese journalist also felt like his compatriot Zhang Huasong was the sucker and Rehager was here to cheat money.

As for foreign journalists, they even have the impression of China and Zhang Huasong being stupid and having a lot of money.

However, no matter how the reporters asked, Zhang Huasong and Rehager had just signed the contract, and they were full of confidence. Naturally, both sides expressed full confidence and could not show weakness to the reporter.

Zhang Huasong said that Rehger's level and fame and status are worthy of an annual salary of 11 million euros, and this money is definitely worth it.

Rehager said even more domineeringly that his ability is worth so much money, and there is no problem. Moreover, he will prove with facts that his level is worthy of the highest salary in the world.

After the signing ceremony, the rest was the handover between Rehager and Li Yanzhi, as well as communication with the Football Association.

Zhang Huasong quickly got on the plane and flew to the Stars and Stripes to participate in the 2011 Indian Wells Masters, which was also the first Masters in the 2011 tennis world.

In fact, the main match of the 2011 Indian Wells Masters began on March 10. However, Zhang Huasong is a seed player and his first round bye will not start until March 13.

Therefore, Zhang Huasong had time to attend the signing ceremony between the Football Association and Rehager in China before rushing to the Stars and Stripes Country.

Zhang Huasong is about to start completing the unprecedented achievements of Master Jin, which has never been completed in the history of the tennis world in a century.

Just as Zhang Huasong was about to fly to Stars and Stripes to start the journey of Master Jin in 2011, the news that the Chinese Football Association and Rehagel officially signed a contract was also reported by the media, causing a violent shock in the Chinese and world football world.

"Otto Rehager signed with the Chinese national team, with an annual salary of 11 million euros becoming the highest salary in the world!"

"Zhang Huasong sponsored the Chinese Football Association and invited Otto the Great, who created the Kaiserslautern miracle and Greek mythology, to coach the Chinese national team with an annual salary of 11 million euros.

"Rehagel signed with the Chinese national team, and his annual salary of 11 million euros surpassed Mourinho to become the highest salary of world football coaches!"

Originally, Chinese fans were positive about Zhang Huasong's large-scale sponsorship of Chinese football. Everyone believed that with Zhang Huasong's large-scale sponsorship, the youth league, women's football league, referee level, etc. in China would have improved.

Zhang Huasong invested a real world-class coach to coach the national team, and everyone was happy to see that it was successful. Anyway, it was not the Football Association that paid the money, not the taxpayer's money.

However, when Rehagel's first annual salary of 11 million euros was exposed, the fans immediately became divided into two factions and quarreled.

Many people think that Rehager is not worth the price.

Although his Kaiserslautern miracle and Greek mythology are amazing, and he is indeed a real world-class coach, how can he be compared to the magic bird Mourinho?

Rehagel's previous coaching results were only three Bundesliga champions, three German Cup champions, one European Cup winners, and one European Cup, with a total of 8 championships.

Mourinho's coaching results have so far 17 championships, more than twice as many as Rehger's.

Even Capello, who is also the head coach of the national team, has 13 championships in hand, which is 5 more than Rehagel's 8 championships. Capello's annual salary is only 8.8 million, while Rehagel has a full 2.2 million more than Capello.

No matter how you count, Rehager can't afford the annual salary of 11 million euros.

As some media analysts said, even if you add the premium part of the trip to Asia and China to coach, perhaps 5 million yuan of annual salary is the price that Rehger should get.

11 million euros, plus the team’s annual salary is 13 million euros, which is more than 100 million yuan per year!

No matter how you look at it, Rehhagel doesn't look like someone who can be worth such a high annual salary.

This group of fans and many foreign media think that Zhang Huasong did something stupid, using the world's highest salary to hire a coach who is not worth so much money.
