Earthquake at the Atlético Academy. The rojiblanco club has started a deep restructuring phase in the charges managing your grassroots football and during the last hours he has dispensed with several of the commanders who in recent times had held the reins of the quarry. Atlético intends give it a spin to some depressed lower categories, stagnant, with questionable praxis and poor results. What's happening with the subsidiary, who fights for avoid a double descent, They understand at the top of the organization chart of the club, it is the tip of the iceberg of the moment that the Academy lives.
Atlético dispenses with big names like Javier Vidales placeholder image, methodological director, Javier Fernandez, right hand of the first, and Juan Coronel, whowho had achieved as a main mission, not the only one, the management of sports education and residency. All three were below Emilio Gutiérrez, director of an impoverished red and white academy. The carry-over effect also reaches technicians. In recent days, at Atlético, he has planned the name of Gabi as a figure called to be the one to put order in the place he knows best. There are many who regard him as the ideal candidate, provided he had full executive capacity. And it is that his return would have been seen as the first step for something that is confessed to be missing: the recovery of identity.
I know blames lack of involvement sentimental, among other things, within the rojiblanca section itself directed by an Emilio Gutiérrez who is also under scrutiny. And it is pointed out that there have been no respects during the last times for surprisingly dispense with valuable technicians, who continue to demonstrate their knowledge outside to spare. The subsidiary can be a thermometer of what is happening, although not the only one. He is fighting to avoid a double relegation, despite having a budget at the level of some Second A teams. That is another questioned point. The ease of awarding important salaries for players in training. Sources from the mattress club explain that, in addition, these changes are also seen as a way of kill pulse between methodology department in charge of Javier Vidales placeholder image and the uptake, that it is also understood that he has not given his best, with Nathanael Cano as coordinator. From top to bottom and first to last, there is an assessment process underway right now throughout the Academy.
The restructuring has just begun and no further movements are ruled out, it remains to be seen who will be entrusted with the functions of the new methodology director in the next few hours. Besides, the Nacho Fernández's departure as coach of the second team, whose vacancy he has filled Antonio Rivas It has also caused a domino effect in the technicians, which will bring news in the coming days. Atlético has always had a very effective quarry, counting on infinitely fewer resources thanwas his great rival the Real Madrid. With only two fields of land in the Cotorruelo, came to get up to seven homegrown starters for the first team in the 80s. Even the current Atlético has been nurtured by many footballers from its nursery, some of them are now references of the squad, but the current situation of the Academy does not correspond with one of the 10 best teams in Europe. In the Spanish Under-21 National Team, for example, there is no red-and-white presence.
