The strange reasons for the cessation of Ángel López after four games

Delfín has dispensed with his coach, Ángel López, after just four games at the head of the team. The cetacean group has decided to hire the technician Carlos Ischia instead, whose last jobs have been in The strongest (Bolivia), Aucas (Ecuador) and Barcelona (Ecuador). Nevertheless, It is striking that the champion of Ecuador has decided to dispense so quickly with a coach for whom they had bet heavily, hiring even a large part of his coaching staff after seeing the great work he had done at the head of the selection of Equatorial Guinea: “I did not want to leave”, Madrid says to this newspaper.

Since he took over the club and after a good preseason, Ángel López has played only four official matches, all this after the club decided to sell to practically half a team and sign up to fifteen new players.

The first one was that of the first Ecuadorian Super Cup in history, in which he had no luck and ended up falling in the penalty shootout after drawing against Liga de Quito. Two weeks later the championship began and resolved the first match against the Aucas with victory at home in a difficult field (1-2). On the following day they had an important duel and Dolphin lost to him Barcelona for a single goal (1-2), this being a difficult game in which any result could have been given, that is, that was contemplated from the beginning that they could not win the match. Even so, the team was winning 1-0 and was traced after the expulsion of two players, so winning and being traced to keep nine does not seem reprehensible. But defeat to University Technician (0-2) on the third day it was enough for the president of Delfin, José Delgado, who had no patience and decided to stop counting on the Spanish coach although he has not had time to finish establishing his style and working methods. All this a few hours after starting his career in the Copa Libertadores against Olimpia (in their group they were also Defense and Justice Y Saints).

Ángel López, despite the way in which everything has ended, has decided to thank the support of a staff that until the last moment was on his side and that even tried to stop his march as you may have known ACE, although he regrets that they have not given him room to maneuver to demonstrate his qualities: “Thank you guys! I am left with your unconditional support, respect and appreciation for the work done. On three dates it is not possible to evaluate or prove anything … We were on the right track we all knew.”

It seems a hasty decision by the president of Delfin after changing half of the squad, the coaching staff and demanding the same results as last year (the best in its history) in such a short time, when direct rivals such as Emelec They still have two points less than them.
