Pochettino says goodbye to Espanyol

After what he got when he came to Espanyol, who washed his face and remained in first . After installing a working philosophy and many would like to flirt more with the upstairs area with the bottom, Mauricio Pochettino never thought I would leave the poor performance by Espanyol. A year ago the club Espanyol announced the contract extension until 2014 of the Argentine. Reached in January 2009 in lifeguard plan, preventing the drowning of an institution in decline in sporting . He believed that he would not fulfill his contract, yes. But the deals that would not become the coach who has managed the worst start in history whitish. He leaves unwittingly forced by bad initially emphasized that yesterday ended with yet another defeat against Getafe at Cornella-El Prat.

In the farewell, the club has sought to convey an elegance that looks long, but a guy like Pochettino deserved. Joan Collet - new president has said that it is a mutual agreement rather than a dismissal. They use the euphemism is used, is the first Argentine Primera technician leaves office early. The truth is that the numbers and send this in this beginning Espanyol draw attention so impoverished. In 13 days has accumulated 8 losses, 3 draws and only two wins. However, the positions of salvation are only two points. And Europe, eleven. It's as if cast to Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, with the difference that the objective of the parakeets, by budget and staffing, not finishing the league in the top six, which champions itself is obliged to pursue.

Personally, I think his departure more opportunistic decision-and populist-of any directive in trouble. The stand and the stands sent was tired of the image of the team. So let him know the former president, who resigned. So let him know the new, which is still there. And so he did know Pochettino, who says goodbye with tears in his eyes and a question that nobody espanyolismo. Speaking of no doubt, I think with more time, and certainly with the signings that prompted the new coach in January-because he needs the Espanyol team-save any falls, as it did before . As stated in the head of the table, no one wins the League in November. When it comes down to Second, it is exactly the same. Led by 'Poche' will also Ramon Planes, athletic director since 2009. Both are history whitish.

Mauricio replaced Mané January 2009. A year earlier he had been assistant coach at the all-white female. It was a gamble that became a guarantee of reliability. Exceeded economic obstacles , sentimental , the sale of some of the great players that has lately Cornellà - Osvaldo, for example - and, in stages, was renovating the locker room, causing the departure of heavyweights like Tamudo, Luis Garcia and Kameni, players to that if he had to throw them a pulse, he did. The only player left from Cristian Alvarez is reached, then goalkeeper, owner and captain now. All this in exchange for a sports stability, the occasional disappointment at the lack of ambition of the club and favorable results today, nearly four years later, have given back.
