It seemed rather difficult to convince Ito. But Haruki had already anticipated it before putting forward the offer. He was well aware that it wouldn't be an easy task to convince Ito.
After all, the offer wasn't lucrative enough.
But more than the brilliance of Ito, he required his wisdom and ability to lead. If he paired Ito with Hiro, he'd be able to replicate his vision more brilliantly.
So, despite sensing the unwillingness of Ito, Haruki wasn't going to retreat.
With even more conviction, Haruki said, "Well, you aren't wrong about it. But if you join us, I can help you shorten the time. Right after you retire, I can integrate you into one of our coaching staff. So, would you be willing to think about the offer now?"
Kawasaki was a giant club and to be able to kickstart his coaching career here, he couldn't even imagine it. Even with his portfolio, he wouldn't receive such an offer if he were to start from scratch.
