Francisco, ready for his 'second' season at Girona

Francisco Rodriguez he was Girona's fourth coach last season and now there's no future in sight without him. It premiered at matchday 37 against Zaragoza with the aim of taking the team to the promotion playoff and returning it to First, but it was left half. Elche, in the final of the promotion promotion, left on the shore. Despite this, the rojiblanca technical direction saw in him the perfect coach for the current course and, for now, he has managed to redirect the team and has it directed to reach, again, the playoff. This Saturday, Girona will play matchday 37 of the current league against Tenerife and Francisco will 'start' his second season as Girona coach. The 'gift' that his block would achieve if he wins is more than sweet: sleeping between the top six Second classified.

Francisco, last weekend against Oviedo, in addition to completing an entire league as Girona coach, turned 50 games. And their numbers are to praise: 82 points achieved thanks to 23 victories, 13 draws and 14 defeats (53 goals for and 43 against). Girona's average since they first sat on the bench is 1.64 points per game. A figure that allows us to be optimistic towards the end of the course. But there is more and it is that, with six days remaining for the final of the League, the dynamics of current Girona is, after Espanyol, the best in the category because it has added 16 points out of the last 21 at stake. Hence, this Saturday, if the Girona team beat Tenerife they will be able to sleep in the playoff spots because they have Sporting, fifth, and Rayo, sixth, only two points away.

The Girona this dreaming again this season thanks to the latest results of the team and Francisco is very much to blame for it. He is managing to 'save' a course in which he has had to face a multitude of casualties due to injuries, COVID-19 and sanctions and, in addition, is giving the alternative to players of the subsidiary and of the Youth like Arnau Martínez. The club has shown its trust for a long time and, since the contract ends at the end of this season, try to renew him. Francisco has become the guardian angel of a club that tries to return to Primera.
