Grenadian fans are living these days in suspense as they doubt whether the coach will continue to lead the squad or not Diego Martinez, the first coach in the club's history to have completed three consecutive seasons at the helm of a team he has led since Second division until the quarterfinals of the Europa League.
The main leaders of the club, with the advisor Patricia rodriguez At the head, they are negotiating these days the continuity of Diego Martínez, who throughout the season urged the top managers of the entity to talk about his renewal, since his contract ends on June 30, once the campaign had ended.
If there is something clear in the matter, it is that to continue or not in Granada is a matter that will depend almost exclusively on the wishes of the coach, since the team's giants are willing to give him practically everything he asks for, as long as is within reasonable limits, so that he continues to lead the team.
Diego Martínez has more than earned the right to decide his future. He has achieved unimaginable heights in three years with Granada, leading the team from the Second Division to play European competition for the first time in its history, reaching milestones and breaking sports ceilings without restraint.
The coach and his representative, Juan Maraver, have offers on the table, apart from the obvious one from Granada, and in the next few days they will finally remove the margarita and everyone will have doubts.
Diego Martínez himself acknowledged after this Sunday's game against Getafe that his future has not yet been decided. It seems evident, especially knowing his ambition and his desire to always aspire to the maximum, that if he decides to continue at Granada it is because he really sees signs and signals that the club can continue to grow in the short term.
In recent weeks the coach has not stopped receiving winks and messages from all areas of the club and Granada society: leaders, players, employees, politicians, fans … He himself has recognized that it is impossible to return all the affection that receives.
With a squad that has many valid players with a current contract and that will not need major changes, the permanence or not at the head of the Galician coach's team is the great priority and what marks the roadmap in the preparation of the campaign coming from the Andalusian club.
Grenadianism has raised this 40-year-old Galician to the figure of almost a deity, who has won over the fans as never before had any other football figure, not even a player, on and off the pitch.
That is why during these days when his permanence in the club is not clear, the fans suffer more than if his team fought a salvation in the highest category. Nobody wants to imagine a Granada without Diego, the coach who has endowed an unforgettable team with its own stamp, identity, personality and character.
