Fran Scribe, Elche's new coach to replace the resigned Jorge Almirón, has this Saturday against Eibar at the Martínez Valero (2:00 p.m.) the challenge of making good what “A new coach, sure victory”. And it does not seem an easy task in view of the precedents of this course, in which the four technicians who have debuted with the season underway have done so with defeat.
Moreover, if we go back to previous course, in which they were up eleven the technicians who sat on the benches relieving a dismissed colleague, the balance is more overwhelming. Only three managed to debut with victory, two others did it by drawing and the remaining six, with losses.
Between last season and the current one there were fifteen relays on the benches: eleven started with a defeat, two with a draw and only three won
This gives a global balance, between the last campaign and the current one, of fifteen relays, three wins, two draws and ten losses. Figures that flatly deny the aforementioned saying that “a new coach …”.
So far in LaLiga Santander 2020-21 there have been four relays on the benches. The first, in Celta, in which Eduardo Coudet He occupied the place of Òscar García, debuting with a defeat at Pizjuán (4-2 on matchday 10). The other three “premieres” occurred curiously on the same day, the 19. Abelard he fell with his Alavés at home to Sevilla (1-2), Marcelino did the same with Athletic at Di Stéfano (3-1) and Pacheta could not score in his visit to Getafe (1-0).
Setién (Barça), Luis Cembranos (Leganés) and Alexis (Betis), the only ones who made their debut with victory in the last year and a half
In LaLiga Santander 2019-20, there were three technicians who managed to settle with a triumph its premiere: Luis Cembranos (appointed on an interim basis after Mauricio Pellegrino left Leganés) on matchday 10 (1-0 at Mallorca), Quique Setien after relieving Ernesto Valverde at Barça in the 20 (1-0 at Granada) and Alexis, Substitute for Rubi at Betis, in the 31 (1-0 at Espanyol). The rest either lost or tied. In a little more than a season and a half, only three out of 15 made their debut with victory. Fran Escribá's challenge with Elche is to be the fourth of 16 and the first of this course.
