Lolo Escobar will give his due at Rico Pérez this Friday penultimate press conference of the season. The last one will be this Sunday, after the game against Ibiza where Hercules will end a disastrous season. Taking over from the sacked Ángel Rodríguez, the Madrid coach signed another year in his contract, but the chances of moving on are getting harder and harder Due to the bad taste left behind by the season, he could not finish convincing the dressing room management.

The idea is to start after the sports committee is formed with coach selection. For this, the business has scheduled a meeting with Lolo Escobar to share their impressions after a tough season with both sides heavily damaged, so parting ways in advance seems like the best solution for Hercules’ future.
