Sergio Pellicer commented at the press conference last Sunday that he wanted to wait for Málaga to mathematically close his stay in the Second Division in order to clarify whether or not he would continue as coach of the team.. Well, the first step has been taken. The numbers say that Málaga remains four days in advancen before playing the game against Oviedo after the defeats of Sabadell, Castellón and Logroñés.
The frontier of descent is marked by Castellón and Logroñés with 41 points. If we put ourselves in the worst case scenario, that is to say that Malaga loses all the games that are missing and these two rivals had full victories and there was a triple tie at 50, Malaga would add seven points, five from Castellón and two of Logroñés.
In addition, there are other convoluted possibilities with the option of quadruple or quintuple draws with other teams that also add 50 points and where Málaga is never harmed. So, goal accomplished.
Precisely Manolo Gaspar, The sports director participated in a podcast on Cadena Ser ‘Carrusel Confidencial’ where, among other matters, he referred to the negotiations for the renewal of Sergio Pellicer. “Let's see what happens these days. Logiche has suffered wear and tear. He has had a great season and it will have its value in the market. ”And he left these words about his future. “I imagine you are thinking about it.”
Sergio Pellicer made his debut as Málaga's first coach on January 14, 2020 against Ponferradina, assuming leadership in one of the most difficult moments in its history. In this time he has managed to lead the team to two consecutive stays against all odds that have been transcendental for the survival as an entity. Will you continue at Malaga 2021.22? Will have to see.
