Standing on a pitch in his native Corvera holding jerseys from two clubs he represented during his playing career, Jorge Fernández prepared for the upcoming fixture at the Ruta de la Plata, where Zamora and Avilés face off at 14.15 hours.
He brought one Zamora shirt and two from Avilés, choosing to display the one from their playoff run. “It brings back better memories,” he said, according to an interview with La Nueva ESPAÑA.
The former footballer spoke with the regional newspaper to review his experiences with both teams while he waits for a managerial opportunity following his departure from Lealtad. “Desire to coach from 1 to 10? I have a 15,” he said with a smile, as reported by La Nueva ESPAÑA.
Fernández praised the trajectory of Avilés ahead of the fixture against Zamora. “It’s not going to stop growing,” Fernández told La Nueva ESPAÑA regarding his former club’s upward momentum.
The fixture at the Ruta de la Plata brings together two entities from his playing days at a time when he remains active in seeking a new dugout role. His stint with Lealtad remains his most recent position on the bench, leaving him eager to return to technical areas.
The encounter between Zamora and Avilés kicks off at 14.15 hours at the Ruta de la Plata venue. Fernández retains active ties to both institutions through his past playing days, highlighted by the playoff-edition Avilés jersey he showcased during his interview in Corvera.
