League and Champions Champion with him Real Madrid, the white fans do not forget the stage they lived Zinedine Zidane on the bench Castile before making the jump to the first squad (January 2016) after the dismissal of Rafa Benitez. And if there is a modest football club closely linked to the coach’s career during the half-season in which he managed the subsidiary, that is, without a doubt, La Roda CF., the last rival of the French in Second Division B. The Albacete team, which the Frenchman failed to win in that match (2-2), is now experiencing some very complicated days, perhaps the most complicated in its history, because it has just been expelled from competition in Group XVIII of Tercera División RFEF due to his absence in the first two days. Old debts prevented him from processing the cards of his players by having their rights blocked by the Federation, which has caused his exclusion from the competition and his relegation the next season to First Preferred by not playing the first two matches of the championship.

The Wheel, who could not play his first game against Villacañas as he did not have the chips processed, nor could he receive CD Illescas last Sunday. Two consecutive absences that, according to the Regulations, condemned the Albacete team to expulsion from the League. And the expected sentence came last Tuesday, when the sole judge of the Competition Committee made official the exclusion of the Albacete. Although no fan already trusted in a miracle, the decision has meant a jug of ice water for a fan who saw their hometown team play in the bronze category of Spanish football between 2011 and 2017.

On January 3, 2016, just one day before his appointment as Castilla coach, Zinedine Zidane visited the Municipal Stadium, a meeting in which the subsidiary did not go beyond a tie despite the fact that the French coach lined up players now as internationally recognized as Martin Odegaard, Marcos Llorente, Mariano or Borja Mayoral. That successful past of La Roda has nothing to do with its painful present due to serious financial problems that began months ago.

La Roda did not get that the TAD grant him the very precautionary measures that he had requested to be able to unblock his federative rights and process the files of his players, so he was in an extreme situation because he had to contribute more than 120,000 this week to be able to play his match against CD Illescas and not be excluded from the competition. The miracle did not occur and the Albacete club has now been excluded from the Third League RFEF and next season will be in First Preferential

The current managers of La RodaHowever, they trust in avoiding this downgrade because they have filed a complaint in the ordinary Justice because they consider that the debt that has prevented the processing of their staff files is alien to them and the club. Many rival clubs have shown their solidarity with the Albacete team through social networks in these difficult times.
