Liga Betplay: Controversy over the dismissal of Jairo Arboleda del Cali, president explains decision | Colombian Soccer | Betplay League

Jairo Arboleda is an institution within Deportivo Cali. His feats but especially his commitment to the club for decades have earned him the support of players and coaching staff. However, in the last hours his departure was decided and, according to him, it has not been on the best terms.

The veteran coach, who worked with the quarry, explained that, although he had to appear on January 12, he did not reach the position due to a directive decision.

“We finished the year and they told us that we would return on January 12, we had a meeting and when we were going there they called us to say that we had better not go. The exit was the club’s decision, not ours. They said there was no money. , that we had to cut back, “he said on Caracol Radio.

Arboleda’s surprise was not because of the decision but because of the way he found out: “in my case, I have been retired for 10 years. What hurts one is that he lacked elegance. They took us out and they haven’t given us a letter of dismissal, what we deserve. 6 more people left with me. There more than one came out as in a chapel, “he said.

Faced with the controversy, the president of the club, Marco Caicedo, explained that the decision was made because there was no other way: “they are conjunctural circumstances of the team, then they are measures that we have to take for the sake of the sustainability of the institution. We made a decision very hard because the ‘Maestro’ Arboleda has been an idol and very important in our quarry and institution. We wish the best for him, “he said at the Carousel de Caracol.

Caicedo affirmed that Arboleda is not the only one affected since a cut of 30 percent of the personnel had to be made. Of course, he assured that there will be a tribute to his height: “we have to pay tribute to the ‘Maestro’ Arboleda for what it means, he must go out the front door, how he should … It was a very difficult decision and we are eternally grateful . This is a reality that touches us all, the world is forced to reinvent itself. We will continue with the quarrying program, “he concluded.
