Calleja says goodbye: “A decision that I respect, even if I don’t share”

Calleja does not want to grant interviews or offer press conferences. He has been required by various means but is living his particular mourning. The way he has taken to say goodbye to Vitoria has been through social networks. Neither does he manage them but it is evident that the text is agreed with the communication agency that has prepared it.

“As you know, today the club announced my dismissal and that of my coaching staff from Deportivo Alavés, a decision that I respect even if I do not share it, and that is based on the sporting situation of the team. This is the end of a stage that began last April and that has made us grow as professionals and get to know a club and a hobby that we will always carry in our hearts. Last season we managed to lift the team out of a difficult situation and we are convinced that this year the same would have happened, “says the note.

The thank you text continues. “The two-year sports project we started working on last summer, despite financial constraintsWe knew that it would work and that we would overcome bad sports streaks, just as we did at the beginning of the league and in the final stretch of last season. We left the team tied on points with salvation and, above that, in the First Division. We leave full of gratitude to all those who have had to do with this. Especially to the two templates that we have directed. These players have left their souls for the jersey and have shown us to be an example of honesty and professionalism, “the statement added.

Finally, he prays that “to all the employees of the club, thank you for your treatment and trust. And for you, fans, I have no words. We have had to live very complicated situations and you have shown me what you are. Every time I have jumped I have felt like one of you to Mendi. Thank you for your loyalty and for your support. We say goodbye with the satisfaction of having left the best we had for the good of Alavés and with the assurance that we will see each other again along the way. Thank you Glorious. I wish you the best forever. “

Jose Luis MendilibarAs a new coach, he does not have social networks or digital communication agencies to handle his affairs. Josean Querejeta, president of Alavés, neither. What’s more … he hates them.
