Chus Mateo was especially excited in the moments after the final horn. The Real Madrid coach could not hide the tears, something in some surprising way after a match that his team had clearly dominated in the last quarter. “I suffer a lot because I know that Real Madrid’s fans are looking forward to them. And we feel very responsible for it. At this time more than joy I feel relief,” Matthew said before the Movistar Plus microphones.
The rumors had transcended strongly throughout the day and journalist Milena Martín has abodated the issue directly. Will we see you next season at the head of the team? “I do not contemplate another option,” the coach replied, “but it depends on Real Madrid, if they want me to continue, I will continue, I am from Madrid since childhood.”
The truth is that, for what it seems, the title of Liga Endesa will not be enough for Matthew to stay on the Real Madrid bench. Nor his good record, with six titles and ten finals of twelve in four years at the head of the white team. The club has been negotiating with Sergio Scariolo for months and after several approaches and disagreements things have progressed a lot in recent days and everything indicates that the current Spanish coach will return this summer to the white bench.
His return to the club would be framed in a deep restructuring of the dome of the section, with the march of the eternal director of the section, Juan Carlos Sánchez, who will be replaced by former player Sergio Rodríguez, who in his closest team will also have former player Felipe Reyes.
