Espanyol struck Vicente Moreno and Rufete in the middle of Chen’s revolution

The season of the return of Tito to Primera has ended up passing over the promotion coach. Vicente Moreno piloted the perica adventure for Segona and this week certified his permanence, but the ship was not heading to port. The fans were disillusioned and had already shown their discomfort in Cornellà.

The Valencian boss said goodbye with a reflection from the RCDE Stadium. “We knew we were coming to a club in a difficult situation, but it was worth it and a lot. We had the opportunity to work in a spectacular club in every way. It was a three-year project and we were achieving our goalsbegan Moreno.

“The best decision”

“In the first one we got a ascent successfullyin the second we get the permanence with solvency. We have achieved this so clearly that perhaps it has been taken away. We had a third year left in which we thought the quality leap could be made and we were excited about it, but we didn’t have to put on a mask either. In recent times the atmosphere was rarefied and the best decision is this. Everything has a beginning and an end. It has to be accepted. ”

This Saturday, in the last match at home against Valencia, one was also being prepared protest to demand action and Chen Yansheng did not hesitate. With this restructuring, the president is pursuing a change in the sports field with the clear aim ofhook up fans again.

The Valencian coach had another year of contract, but there was a clause that facilitated his departure with the relevant compensation, lower if the dismissal occurred before the end of the season, so he has been fulminated without waiting or even at the last crash at home. Rufete, on the other hand, ends his relationship this June.

Rare atmosphere

The terrible streak of this end of year, with a point of 15 possible and some depressing performance, have just infuriated the owner of Rastar Group. The atmosphere was not good either and everything pointed to the departure of the coach, although perhaps surprised by the immediate execution after sealing the goal.

The last two league games, this Saturday against Valencia and the last in Granada, will be directed by them Louis White, the coach of Espanyol B who had not trained in person for the team in recent weeks due to a leg injury that has him with crutches. The 43-year-old Colomenco coach has already ordered the training of the team this Friday.

From Quique to Vicente

Is the eighth coach since Chen took over the presidency of the club in January 2016. Galca was then on the bench after replacing Sergio González. With the Chinese leader they arrived Quique Sánchez Flores, David Gallego, Rubi, Machín, Abelardo, Rufete, Vicente Moreno and Luis Blanco.. In these six years, four sporting directors have also passed: Ángel Gómez, Lardín, Perarnau and Rufete.

Decisions have been made in a way unilateral by Chen Yansheng from China. The president considered that Vicente Moreno’s stage was exhausted after two years and the pressure of the stands also invited him to dispense with Rufete, who had already been questioned during the descent, which was never forgiven.

Diego Martinez, Cannavaro, Luis Garcia…

The new head of the sports area will be Sunday Catoira, the current technical secretary who came to the perico box from the hand of Rufete when he replaced Òscar Perarnau in 2020. He will not be short of work. A dozen players are fulfilling contracts or ending assignments and moves are expected on all lines, as well as some outstanding saleswith Raúl de Tomás or Pedrosa as possible candidates.

Joselu, Alava’s striker, and Brian Oliván, Mallorca’s left-back, are profiled as first signings for a project that will have a new pilot on the bench. Diego Martínez, Granada coach, Cannavaro, without a team after training in China, or the idolized Luis García, who directs the Damm youth team, have already sounded like relays.
