Pablo Milad breaks silence and gives details on the timing of Berizzo’s resignation

Pablo Milad breaks the silence. The president of the ANFP mentioned the resignation of Eduardo Berizzo almost 15 hours after the coach’s announcement. After not making any statements at the Monumental stadium, he spoke this Friday from Quilín. “After the match, we went to the locker room to greet the players. “Eduardo told us he wanted to talk and tendered his resignation,” the manager explained.

According to the Curican, the strategist told them he was driving “a very big emotional charge and I don’t want that to continue to influence the results.” and the players. In this sense, Milad assured that the board of directors had tried to convince him to respect his contract.

“We tried to convince him, but he said his resignation was irrevocable. We also asked him to end this double date, but he was not able to continue with this pressure and it was hurting the team’s performance to some extent. Unfortunately, the results were not given. I know he gave everything, from what the players told us. But he didn’t want to harm the team and withdrew. He waived any type of compensation “, explained the former mayor of Maule.

“More than anything, the helplessness of not seeing the work reflected in the results was passed on. It is a process of renewal. Boys with a great future have appeared, but the results have not been given to us. If we beat Paraguay, we would be in the race. Eduardo felt that his presence was harmful,” he added.

Regarding the arrival of Nicolás Córdova as interim, the head of the ANFP stressed that: “He is a great professional. He immediately met the players. Work is already underway. He led a practice that was very well received by the team. Footballers continue to work with the hope of qualifying. Whatever the outcome, He came to work in youth football. He will continue like this, whatever happens.

He declared that the deadlines have already been set. “For the FIFA date in March, we want to have the coach. Friendly matches with UEFA teams are coming. There has been much speculation about the financial situation of the ANFP, but the results will be revealed at the end of the year. We have satisfactory figures. We will look for the best option for our national team and we must analyze what should come out of it. Decisions are made by the board of directors, with the technical and analytical bases of each of the coaches,” he explained.

The former leader of Curicó Unidos also took the opportunity to respond to Gary Medel after the defender said the coach had made renovations to the Juan Pinto Durán complex with his own money. “He said things that weren’t true. He was wrong. We did all the financing. We repair bathrooms, kitchens and rooms, among other things. “He always had support,” he said.

Finally, he insisted on the fact that the ANFP wanted to retain the technical staff for the remaining two years of his contract. “It is a loss for us because of the human quality of Eduardo Berizzo, because of the disposition he has always had with the Federation. He decided to leave without negotiating or anything, which we must value because we don’t see him much,” Milad remarked.
