First Medal (Niko/Tuchel)

First medal

It was his first medal as a coach, it wasn't gold since it wasn't the first place, but it was better than nothing, they did their best and it was the more important thing. Niko had been fixing the silver medal around his neck for a few minutes, he hadn't managed to lead the Eintracht to the Bundesliga title but he had at least managed to lead them to the final of the Pokal. Obviously he would have preferred to win, but it had been Dortmund in front of them, not a "small" team. Rob had patted him on the head to console him before going to bring the team back to the locker room. Therefore Niko was more or less the only one from Frankfurt on the field, he could see the Dortmund players celebrating, their supporters in ecstasy at this new price. Sometimes he imagined himself to be a good coach, competent enough to lead a team at a trophy. Niko was brought out of his dreams when an arm wrapped around his shoulders, a rather heavy weight resting on him, he looked up from his medal to see Thomas Tuchel smiling at him, his own more beautiful reward tapping repeatedly on his chest would be almost jealous if he wasn't so lucid in defeat.

'' It was a great match, congrats Niko! Can I call you like that in the first place?''

"Uh... Yes... Thank you... I'm glad I got there so far..."

''We say see you again next season at the same place? I look forward to your revenge, Frankfurt is a very good team. ''

"We are something like twenty-five points below Bayern..."

''It is not important Niko, you managed to climb up there and won this medal, even if it is not gold, it proves that you are a good coach, and that one day you will win with Frankfurt.''

''Thank you...'' Niko didn't know why tears had begun to run down his cheeks, but he felt the need so it didn't bother him

"I trust you Niko, I know you will show them one day." Thomas took him in his arms, smiling gently, they could maybe say see you again next year in the same place ...

The End
