Málaga and Víctor reach an agreement

Málaga and Víctor Sánchez del Amo have crossed their paths again this Tuesday in the City of Justice. Today was the date set by the court for holding the trial for the dismissal of the technician and both parties have settled the case sealing an agreement. This was announced by Víctor himself and his lawyer, Francisco Valverde, when he left the courts. In this agreement, Malaga recognizes that the dismissal was unfair and the coach has lowered his demands and has provided payment facilities to the entity.

“Everything has gone very well. We have reached an agreement, our intention was to help the club in the difficult situation in which it is. All this time since the previous managers made the decision to remove us from the club in this way, we have been calm, waiting for this moment. It is very positive that we have been able to reach an agreement. We have yielded virtually all of our claims. We have provided payment facilities and we thank the club for the willingness they have had“said Victor upon his departure from the City of Justice.

In the same line, his lawyer expressed himself: “Both parties have been satisfied and that is the important thing. Victor has given facilities and we lawyers say that a good agreement is when the two parties are not very happy, but in this case we are happy, the two parties have agreed. The image, which had been greatly damaged, of a coach like Víctor Sánchez del Amo is restored, and with the recognition by the company that the dismissal is an unfair dismissal, we understand that justice is done. “

Víctor initially asked the club that his dismissal be declared null, his reinstatement in his job and compensation of 600,000 euros for damages. In addition, he filed a lawsuit for unfair dismissal requesting the corresponding compensation. Finally, the agreement has been sealed in much more acceptable terms for Malaga. In this sense, the coach praised the good will shown by the club with his case since the entry into La Rosaleda of the judicial administrator, José María Muñoz. “The new managers are in a position to try to solve the many problems that the entity had. You know that while I have been a coach I have already publicly denounced many management issues. I hope and hope that Malaga can go solving all those problems, we have done our part, that in the remaining games the team can get the necessary points for that permanence and that especially the fans of Malaga, who are suffering so much in these times, can see a positive horizon, optimistic, how he deserves such a great hobby that he has “, he clarified.

The Madrid coach has also insisted that both he and his coaching staff would love to re-coach the Martiricos team in the future: “Hopefully we can come back one day because Málaga Club de Fútbol is a very big club and the coaching staff would love to come back again. “Víctor recalls that for him” it was very unfair “everything that surrounded his leaving the club” and, despite this, we have had an attitude to do our bit because I think Everyone here in Malaga knows that the time we have been here we have been linked not only professionally, but emotionally to this club and this fans. Hopefully all those management problems in the club will begin to be solved so that the fans can enjoy the team. “

Late in the afternoon, Malaga issued a statement corroborating what was revealed by his former coach and his lawyer and acknowledging “the inadmissibility of the dismissal executed by the previous administration and regrets what happened“. The club also wished “much luck” to Victor in his future projects.

The man from Madrid believes in permanence

Questioned by Malaga's options to achieve the desired permanence, Víctor Sánchez del Amo has been optimistic: “I hope and believe that yes, it is saved. There is a lot of equality, the 'goal average' factor with many of the teams involved is in favor of the team and I think that with this situation of the COVID-19 the issue of the five changes to a template made in that way has also come in handy. , with so many weaknesses. We had to have only 17 professional files and some of them we could not even count on. Having five changes allows you to manage more players, I think that is very important for Malaga as well. “

Negotiation pending with the rest of the technical staff

Once the agreement with Víctor Sánchez del Amo was reached, the club will begin negotiations in the near future to try to reach an agreement with the rest of the coaching staff, litigation that was to be settled independently before the courts. The will of both parties in this case is also to reach an understanding that favors both the technicians and the club and definitively resolve their departure from the entity in a friendly way and without the need to go to trial.
