Recently, FIFA officially announced that the Chinese League one team Guizhou Hengfeng needs to pay 30.43 million yuan in liquidated damages to former coach Manzano, and if it is not paid within the specified time, Guizhou Hengfeng is likely to face a heavy penalty from FIFA. There is no doubt that a paper judgment by FIFA has made Guizhou Hengfeng, which is not rich in the first place, worse, and even affected the team's plan to overtake.
Who is Manzano? The "old fritters" who have been playing in the Chinese Super League for many years. If Lippi is shrewd and Yasen is temperamental, then Manzano is sinister and old. Judging from the FIFA judgment, there is no controversy about Guizhou Hengfeng paying Manzano a liquidated damages, but the process can be seen in Manzano's insidiousness and old-fashionedness. And Wen Xiaoting, the boss of Guizhou Hengfeng, obviously underestimated the old Spanish man, so that in the end she was passive, dumb and eating Huang Lian, and there was bitterness that could not be said.
In May 2017, after complicated negotiations, Wen Xiaoting spent a huge amount of human, energy and financial resources to recruit Manzano, and Manzano's leadership performance in that season was really good, and finally helped the team to reach the eighth place. Such achievements made Wen Xiaoting overjoyed, and also expressed her recognition of Manzano's work.
But the problem appeared in the renewal of the contract, Manzano and the agent worked together to act, black face and red face are readily available, and finally Hengfeng did not meet Manzano's big appetite in terms of annual salary, but made concessions to sign a high liquidated damages, and the worst thing is that due to excessive trust in Manzano, Hengfeng did not overly restrict him in the contract, such as formulating the terms of the class, so it also buried hidden dangers. In this case, the record of Guizhou Hengfeng in the 2018 season has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the locker room is even more miasma by Manzano, Who obviously does not want to coach well, and in desperation, Wen Xiaoting can only fire Manzano, thus owing a high amount of liquidated damages. Guizhou Hengfeng was demoralized that season, and finally relegated as the penultimate number one.
Guizhou Hengfeng is not the first team to be toyed with by Manzano, and before that, he broke up with The Chinese Super League giants such as Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua. During the coaching of Guoan, at first, Manzano led the team to a good performance, leading Guoan to the second place in the Chinese Super League in 2014, and then the two sides also reached an impasse on the issue of contract renewal. Manzano's agent has a tough attitude, must ask for a high annual salary, Guoan will certainly not agree, when the negotiations stagnate, Manzano will come out as an old good man, take the same routine, the annual salary can be reduced, the liquidated damages must be increased, the general club will relax their vigilance and agree to come down, but then one season Manzano directly played yin, forcing the team to fire him, so that he can get both the annual salary and the high liquidated damages.
In the 2015 season, Beijing Guoan only finished fourth in the league under Manzano. In the end, the top level of national security bluntly said that Manzano's coaching ability can be, but there is a problem with his character. The same "victim" is Shanghai Shenhua, at first Manzano coaching results are also remarkable, and then Manzano proposed to renew the contract, but the shrewd Shenhua said that after Manzano completed the club's task indicators before negotiating, Manzano saw that he failed to succeed, directly to Shenhua out of the AFC Champions League, and then went away.
Compared with the old team, the young team of Guizhou Hengfeng is obviously not well considered, and Wen Xiaoting, who is a person in temperament, has no precautionary heart and has not formulated the corresponding termination clause in the contract. In fact, many Chinese fans have the impression that foreign coaches are generally more obedient and have professional ethics, and there are very few foreign coaches who take the initiative to steal benefits from the club, but Manzano is an exception.
Manzano, who specializes in psychology, is moody and angry, but his mind is meticulous, and it is inevitable that Guizhou Hengfeng will suffer losses, but in the future, It will be difficult for Manzano to come back to China to pan for gold, after all, this ghost head foreign marshal has become notorious.
