Beccacece: I have given positive reports on Josan and Verdú and now they have to deal with the club
Elche’s head coach addressed the media after a season-ending draw with Cadiz, delivering a candid assessment of a campaign that saw his squad finish strong with a five-game unbeaten run. The team ultimately closed the year with a resilient streak that left a positive taste in the mouths of players and fans alike.
In a season summarized by hard work and steady improvement, Beccacece reflected on the progress made. We earned the respect of supporters and regained a sense of belonging within the club. The captain’s armband of responsibility lies with everyone, and the coach made it clear that the players deserve credit for keeping the group cohesive and focused through challenges encountered along the way.
Beccacece added that the footballers should now rest briefly and collaborate closely with sports management to prepare for the next phase in the program. His appreciation for the players’ warmth and openness toward the coaching staff underscored a shared commitment to the project. The connection with the city and its fans helped reestablish a strong bond and a sense of purpose around the squad’s efforts.
He spoke about the lasting impression the staff and team left as the season concluded, noting that professional work earns lasting affection when players and club share common goals. Beccacece believes the club can draw motivation from this season’s return to form and use it as a springboard toward the next level, acknowledging the welcome received since day one and the clear message conveyed to the young players who gave their hearts to the cause.
As for potential future decisions, Beccacece admitted that questions about earlier involvement with the club remain speculative. He emphasized feeling loved and respected during the time he spent with Elche, and expressed a desire to reciprocate that sentiment through ongoing commitment and performance as the project moves forward.
Lucas Boye
Lucas Boye, who equalized in the late stages, spoke to reporters after the final whistle. The Argentinian forward highlighted the dignity with which the team closed the year, acknowledging the support from fans who endured a tough season. His words resonated with the broader message of resilience shared by the squad as they look ahead.
And Boye did not shy away from honesty about the year. The striker noted the pain felt by supporters and promised that the coming period will bring important developments for everyone involved. The commitment to rebuild and push toward a brighter future remains a central theme for Elche as they navigate the transition away from the current campaign.
All season long, the team fought with solidarity, aiming to rescue the club from the depths of the table and restore pride. The year’s difficulties were met with a collective resolve that kept morale intact and reinforced belief in the club’s project. The players showed courage on the pitch, and the staff worked to strengthen ties with the community, a factor many believe will be pivotal in the club’s journey back toward the top flight.
The question now is the shape of the upcoming season. Will Boye remain part of the squad as plans unfold, or will changes be necessary to better align with the club’s strategic aims? In football, certainty is scarce, and the only constant is the intention to return stronger. The club’s leadership has a clear target: to rebuild with a cohesive group of players who understand the club’s values and the demands of competing at a high level.
Looking ahead, the focus is on continuity and a shared project that can deliver a sustained period of improvement. With a capable coaching staff, a committed squad, and a city behind them, Elche seeks to translate the season’s final atmosphere into tangible momentum for the years to come. The work remains ongoing, and the belief in restoring the club’s status continues to drive the next steps forward.
