How is it possible that, in the event of Francisco’s dismissal, Bragarnik had not prepared a replacement?
Three days after the player was sent off from Almeria, why is Elche still without a substitute and even more so with the importance of Monday’s game against Mallorca?
These are some of the unanswered questions after spending another day without knowing the new tenant of the Martínez Valero bench.
At first sight, Everything points to the dismissal of AlmerianAlthough its continuity is complex, after adding just one point out of the possible 21, He was a warmer after the loss against Rayo. If Vallecanos had drawn the most normal result in the 95th minute until the goal came, or had Tete Morente seized the great opportunity in the 94th minute, Francisco would certainly have continued as coach of Elche.
Seeing how the outcome of the match turned out with the slight improvement shown by the team, the logical thing was that Francisco was sitting on the bench in the final against Mallorca. and if he didn’t win, his dismissal would have been perfectly justified.
But Calmness and not rushing to try to do the right thing is one of the modes of work of the owner of the Elche club.. It took more than a week to announce the replacement for Fran Escribá last season. On this occasion, it was delayed for a few days due to Pablo Machín’s backsliding. And he finally managed to convince Francisco.
Christian Bragarnik returned to Elche on Wednesday afternoon. Elche club’s largest shareholder went to his country on September 1, the day the transfer market ended and has not returned since. Although he learned all the details of the organization by phone and video calls, he followed the matches on television.
The owner is already at his office in Martínez Valero looking for the new technician. He didn’t even participate in two of the team’s training sessions.. Yes, technical secretary Sergio Mantecón did that.
Full, Bragarnik analyzes the pros and cons of the list Mantecón presented to him. The technical secretary made initial contact with any coaches who could meet the profile to take charge of Elche. And now, the owner of the club will be responsible for interviewing those who have reached the final of the casting.
except surprise everything indicates that the decision will be between Paco López and Javi Calleja.. Two technicians who have already shown their willingness and will accept the offer from the owner of the Franjiverde establishment. Argentina route with Sebastián Beccacece should not be ruled out yet.
