The cliché is that it is not the same to play to win a championship than to maintain the category. The validity of that football maxim will put it to the test Eduardo Coudet. The Argentine coach led at the beginning of November the Brasileirao with Porto Alegre International and two weeks later closes the classification of the Spanish championship with Celta. A radical change for a coach used to striving for ambitious goals.
Since in December 2014 he made the leap to the benches taking charge of Rosario Central, El Chacho has always moved away from the danger zone. He classified his first team to play the Copa Libertadores; then he directed the Tijuana Mexican, leaving it in the middle of the table; and on his return to Argentina he won the ticket for the Copa Sudamericana with Racing Club in the season prior to being proclaimed league champion with the historic entity of Avellaneda.
In the last days of last year he changed countries within South American football and made a commitment to International. The gaucho ensemble occupied the 1st place at the start of the second round of Serie A when Coudet left Brazilian football speechless: decided to cross the pond and head to Vigo. The replacement on the bench has not done well for the Porto Alegre team, which has fallen to fourth place after losing the first two games with his new coach.
Chacho's debut in LaLiga has not been the desired one either. Last Saturday's defeat in Seville not only cost the olive box to be dragged to the relegation places, but also the Celts are the current First Colistas. Óscar García's successor knew where he was coming from. Celta have finished in 17th position the last two seasons, saving himself both times on the last day. Coudet, who has signed until June 2022, faces something unknown in his career, the specter of relegation.
