The elections at Newell’s are approaching, with already defined candidates, and one of the great expectations, among many others, is to know who is going to be the team’s coach. Who is going to lead the football destinies of a team that must rearm to be competitive next year. But there are several questions about it.
Of course, in principle, everything will depend on which group wins the elections. However, is there a defined style for Newell’s football? Do the applicants for the Astore chair agree? Will a coach be sought out of conviction, or one who has enough backbone to bear the weight of the results? Or both?
For the names that transcended there is no defined characteristic. There just seems to be a question of affinity that does not necessarily represent a project.
For example, when the Wizard Capria chose Mariano Sosothe process that began the definitive collapse, at least on the field, no leader contradicted it. No one raised their hand to object. Could anyone bet on the success of a coach with very little hierarchy and extreme fanaticism for a style that not only almost never works, but also did not even have a consensus? Was Capria the right person to make those decisions?
Will you look for a coach based on conviction, or one who has enough backbone to support the weight of the results?
Immediately after Soso, with a terrible campaign, Cristian Fabbiani arrivedin the antipodes of the football style that the previous coach proclaimed, which led to the departure of Capria. The Wizard was coherent.
What was the football style chosen by the leadership? Another question, the style. Should the board of directors or the coach decide? Should you play the way the coach wants or should you opt for a driver who meets the characteristics that the leadership intends?
These are all questions that still have no answers. It is a sensitive topic. Whoever wins the elections must not fail in that area. The sports director, or manager, or whatever you want to call him, must have a clinical eye to choose the best option within the possibilities being considered.
Campus construction is essentialbut the work between the sports director and the coach must be sufficiently well-oiled so that the group of footballers responds to the desired characteristics.
Mistakes like Gaspar Iñíguez or Darío Benedetto should not be repeated. To prevent this from happening, it is essential that the keys to the club are not given to the coach. The keys must always be held by those who were, in this case they will be, chosen by the partners.
