Manolo Preciado, the sportinguismo forever at your feet

"I'm sorry if I did something wrong, I will of this team all my life. Sporting partner I will until I die. Everyone to help the club. "

The Real Sporting de Gijón has removed a few hours ago Manolo Preciado. The sportinguismo is in mourning. He is a man for any praise or recognition is not enough. Only someone who has lived and followed every day now for Sporting in the last six years, he knows what it means prices for this club. And half of Spain is now talk of his dismissal, but it was the same when he took the helm back in 2006. That day was the beginning of an era for Sporting. A time led by a civilian who took a team that was dying and returned to the elite.

Sporting had eight years wandering the Second Division, when the team arrived Manolo Preciado. A historic but humble team, doomed to live on nothing. Except for the superb debut season of Marcelino Garcia, Sporting had never fought really advancement since losing the category. This changed with the arrival of Preciado, who after a difficult first season in which flirted with relegation, won the male in his second year at Sporting returning to the place that belongs to history, ten years later.

And the rise, as the permanent achieved since then, there have been, pardon the expression, pure egg. With a policy that does not loose a penny for signings because he prefers to boast happy year after year of surplus, but he has no problem in letting the lame computer at any time, as when it was sold to Michel in a winter market , despite be a key team owner, and without bringing a substitute for collateral.

A Preciado never been given a candy. Nor has requested. He managed to make the most of the kids who have touched. Enriched with the quarry when he had the chance. And above all, to commune with a step overturned both the team as the coach. The strength of the Molinón has been a key factor in the success of these six years, and that is thanks to the fans at last has become to feel identified with what he saw on the pitch, after years of troubles and schemes that doomed the team to the Second Division. Tricks signed characters, from the dark, still make the decisions for Sporting, though Vega-Arango put the face.

A Preciado has been rapid and poorly cast. Being only a part of salvation. With only one point less than it was added last year by now. A last year which also was about to dismiss him, but finding a replacement was kept, and signed a second round to keep the print category. So today no one is guaranteed, let alone, that has made the right decision. Less is confirmed even if some of the names that are sounding as possible replacements: Lotina Molinón Clemente ... If He could have chosen would have preferred to die with Preciado.

Come whoever comes, it seems that you will find several reinforcements. The Adrian Colunga seems almost done, and could come from the hand of Pedro Rios. Have noses that the day begins to a coach who has never been offered reinforcement of securities shall make an effort to sign players contrasted. If they'd been given Preciado, perhaps now we were talking about something else. Anyway, thanks for everything, Manolo. The Molinón is your home.
