José Rojo ‘Pacheta’ will try this Wednesday to comply with that saying that the three previous coaches who have premiered this course with LaLiga in progress have not been able: that a new coach on the bench, sure victory.
Pacheta will premiere the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum in Getafe on the bench of a Huesca that is debated at the bottom of the table, six points from salvation and with a single victory since the season began. The coach took over the Alto Aragonese team after the team was defeated last day in El Alcoraz against the Betis (0-2). It will also be your premiere in the highest category of our football.
MichelUntil then, the head of the squad, he was the fourth coach to 'fall' so far this season, almost at the same time he did at Alavés Paul
Machin, which yielded the position to ‘Pitu’ Abelardo.
The Asturian coach made his debut in the League this Tuesday, conceding a defeat to Sevilla in Mendizorroza (1-2) which could have been a draw if Bono hadn't guessed Joselu's intention in the last minute and hadn't been stopped by a penalty.
Previously, the ‘Chacho’ Coudet, replacement for Óscar Garcia in the Celtic, debuted on the tenth day against the same rival that Abelardo made his debut with: the Seville. It was, in this case, at the Sánchez Pizjuán but with the same outcome, a defeat (4-2) that was forged in the last five minutes with the last minute goals of Escudero (85 ’) and Munir (88’) that broke a 2-2 that seemed definitive.
And more recently, the premiere of Marcelino Garcia Toral replacing Gaizka Garitano in the Athletic it also ended in defeat. In this case, by 2-3, in San Mamés and against Barça, who knew how to turn the initial goal of Williams and that only became concerned after the second local goal, signed by Muniain almost at the limit of regulation time.
Until today, the saying that ‘a new coach, sure victory’ has not been valid for any of the three coaches' premieres in LaLiga Santander 2020-21. Tonight, Pacheta has the chance to be the first to do it good.
