The path to becoming a football legend began with being ousted from Carrington by Manchester United.

Soon after, Manchester City's official website released a second major piece of news.

The club has officially announced that it has reached an agreement with 58-year-old Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, who will be appointed as the new head coach of Manchester City.

Almost simultaneously, the Malaga club's official website confirmed the news, stating that the team and head coach Pellegrini parted ways amicably and wished him good luck in the future.

Lin had learned of this news from a text message personally sent by Mansour, but he did not expect Manchester City to act so quickly.

Even when going to a nightclub to find girls, you have to wait for the madam to gather people before you can change the batch. But Manchester City changed its head coach in less than 24 hours.

This was because, with the permission of the team owner Mansour, Chairman Mubarak directly used a large sum of money to pave the way.

They offered Mancini and his lawyers a sum of money that they couldn't refuse, and the other party didn't utter a single word of nonsense. They pocketed nearly ten million pounds and rushed back to their hometown in Italy the next day.

Even the reporters, whose movements are as swift as sharks that can smell blood, couldn't catch a glimpse of Mancini.

Even Lin Yi hadn't expected this, so his teammates were even more confused.

Kompany, the leader of the coup attempt, never expected that he would have so much power. He only led everyone to talk to Mancini once, and it brought about such a strong follow-up effect.

Little did he know that the one who tipped the scales in Mansur's heart was not him, but Lin Yi.

For a time, morale in Manchester City was low, and everyone was filled with anxiety and unease about the future.

After a brief discussion, the players collectively nominated Kompany and Lin Yi to go and ask President Mubarak, who had just flown back from Spain, about the situation. Aguero was an exception; he believed he was more qualified than Lin Yi, but was ignored by the others.

"How is it? What's the latest news?" The Manchester City players gathered anxiously in the locker room, and as soon as the captain and vice-captain returned to inquire about the results, they couldn't wait to ask.

Kompany relayed the information he and Lin Yi had gathered: "The new coach won't be able to take up his post until next week at the earliest. For the time being, Brian will be in charge of the training these next few days, including the weekend's league match."

The Brian that Kompany mentioned refers to is Brian Kidd, Manchester City's assistant coach.

This is a native Manchester resident who played for both Manchester United and Manchester City during his playing career. He joined Manchester City in 2009 and is considered a Manchester City player, not part of Mancini's coaching staff.

Brian Kidd is the only member of Manchester City's coaching staff to remain in his position, temporarily overseeing the city's training and matches – a move born out of necessity.

Born in 1948, Brian Kidd has never served as a head coach or led any team in an official game; he was simply a temporary replacement.

Kompany's tone was full of worry, fearing that things would develop as he had initially feared, with Manchester City falling into chaos due to the change of manager and losing their current lead in the league.

However, the other Manchester City players did not share his thoughts.

Joe Hart bluntly stated, "Although it's an away game this weekend, Queens Park Rangers are such a weak team that it doesn't matter whether they have a coach or not. I'm more concerned about the new coach's personality than the league."

What Joe Hart wanted to know was also what most Manchester City players were concerned about. Unfortunately, no one could answer his question. None of the current Manchester City players had ever worked with Pellegrini, and everyone lacked knowledge of the Chilean engineer.

Seeing everyone fall silent, Aguero immediately jumped out and said with a hint of arrogance, "This is easy. I know Martin Demichelis and Javier Saviola very well. Aren't they playing for Malaga? I can ask them."

Lin Yi ignored Aguero and went straight to Silva: "David, when you played in La Liga, weren't Valencia and Villarreal in the same region? You must have played against them often. What are your thoughts?"

Aguero: "No need to ask David, I can find out!"

Silva: "He is a very capable coach. I heard that he gets along very well with the players. Many people say that Manuel treats the players like both a friend and a kind elder."

Aguero: "No need to hear about it, I can get definite information."

Lin Yi: "David gave us some good-sounding news. In any case, let's focus on playing the current games well. We can't be sure what others say; we'll have to see for ourselves how things turn out."

Aguero: "What's there to be afraid of! I guarantee I can get all the information about the new coach, including what color underwear he likes to wear."

Toure: "Lin is right. Let's focus on preparing for the game against Queens Park Rangers this weekend and put everything else aside for now."

Aguero: "What do Queens Park Rangers have to prepare for? I can easily crush them. It's more important to understand the new coach!"

Everyone: "That's right, Lin and Ya Ya are right. Let's prepare for the match properly, everyone, that's all!"

Aguero: "Damn it! All of you, come back here! Come back and eat your fill! I have some juicy gossip!"

At the same time, at Queens Park Rangers' training ground, their head coach Neil Warnock was also discussing Manchester City's managerial change with his players.

"Guys, have you heard? Those rich old men at Manchester City, who're just sitting on oil and money all day, are planning to take down Loftus Road without a manager. What do you think?"

"Give them a good lesson."

"We're not pushovers."

"I can already picture those Manchester City players rolling around in the mud on Loftus Road, haha!"

"Very good!" Neil Warnock was satisfied with the players' attitude. He continued to encourage them, "Maybe they are more valuable than us, and more famous than us, but whoever comes, they will have to pay a heavy price if they want to take the victory from Queens Park."

"As a newly promoted team, it would be much more exciting if we could beat the league leaders than if we could take down some small fry."

"Strike while the iron is hot! The opposing team doesn't have a head coach; this is a golden opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves, and we must seize it!"

Seemingly feeling that performing alone was a bit dry, Warnock directly called on Joey Barton, who had just joined the team this season and served as captain.

"Joey, you know Manchester City best, why don't you say a few words?"

For some reason, when the players lined up, they all stood far away from Joey Barton, creating a vacuum around the captain.

Barton, standing alone in the corner, immediately broke into a bright smile and looked longingly when he heard the head coach call his name.

"I can't wait to say hello to the younger generation at Manchester City."

Teammates familiar with Barton's playing style felt a chill and fear when they saw the smile on his face.
