Antonio Cordón, the club’s current sporting director, has arranged his departure from the green and white team once the current tournament is over. In any case, this sends a signal of appeasement to Pellegrini. “He has more years of contract and I hope the béticos will take advantage of the time they have left,” he said.
Real Betis of Claudio Bravo and Manuel Pellegrini will have a significant change at the administrative level. The club’s sporting director, and main ally of the Chilean coach, Antonio Cordón, has agreed to leave the Sevillian club at the end of the season. .
This situation creates a halo of uncertainty about the future of the national coach at the club, although he has in any case appealed for calm both to the Chilean and to the supporters of the workforce.
Through an interview given to official Betis channels, Cordón indicated that the coach “He’s a professional like the glass of a pine, he has more years on his contract and I hope the Béticos take advantage of the time they have left ”.
He also clarified that the Engineer was aware of this movement. “Manuel knew about it, he knows it. A little sad, I think, but it will soon be settled because we have worked together for many years and we understand each other perfectly. You know what I did on a daily basis to maintain this balance and this discipline that we had “, he explained in his story.
Additionally, he clarified that his departure was not due to issues with others on the Hispanic team. “Anyone who knows me knows that my relationship with everyone is great. There have always been affable conversations all over the place, in this plan to wake the giant, which I think we all pulled off. The most important thing about Betis are its fans, I hope they are very happy with these three years and remember me with love, they treated me very well, I consider them sovereign, incredible. And then probably the rest, from staff to managers or players ”.
“I don’t want it to be goodbye again, because we are in talks. It was a transfer of my ideas and we talk about how events happen. I’m so sorry for being the center of attention yesterday and today because I don’t feel comfortable with this, but you have to take it as it is and step forward “, He continued.
For the same reason, he stressed that his departure should be treated as something natural. “We are in this period of reflection where we will look for what is best for Betis and what is the least dramatic for all parties. . Let it be something natural and let us all be comfortable. The important thing is to win against Valladolid and then the next game”.
Finally, he explained that everything revolves around an end of cycle. “I’m a little sad that the news has leaked. The idea was transferred a while ago to the board and the idea was to make it natural, as we always have been, and wait until the end of the season . There I had a chance to leave and I got him fired at the time. I think Antonio Cordón’s cycle has been three years of constant growth, of the awakening of the giant, that’s what I promised. Life is cycles and they are filled. I transferred this exit option to the board. I don’t like being the protagonist of the covers and there is nothing more to say,” he concluded.
Manuel Pellegrini has a valid contract until 2025, so he will have to wait for the decision of the board to see which name seems to take over the post of sporting director once the season is over.
For the time being, Manuel Pellegrini must continue to work to receive Real Valladolid at home, a duel scheduled for this Saturday February 18 from 12:15 p.m. in Chile.
