Fran Escribá is already the history of Elche. The Valencian coach has ended his second stage as a franjiverde this Sunday. Christian Bragarnik, owner of the club, has struck down Escribá after the painful defeat against Real Betis. The coach himself has announced, in the press room, Bragarnik’s decision.
Write says goodbye after adding two points out of 18 possible. Elche is in decline and in free fall. What’s more, The Valencian has been unable to start a project designed to avoid so much trouble.
“Bragarnik has informed me of my dismissal. Last year we got something nice and nobody can take that away from me. One can buy a club, but not the affection of the people. People will eliminate these bad times and keep the five beautiful seasons we spent together. I will be a member of Elche and I will always wish him the best “, Escribá said in his farewell.
The coach has also acknowledged that he saw the possibility of reversing the team’s situation, but he will not have that opportunity and Bragarnik is already looking for a replacement so that the new coach sits on the bench next Monday against Osasuna. Escribá leaves after achieving a great success very recently: to be the coach who has directed the most matches to Elche in the First Division.
Possible relays
Christian Bragarnik is already working on the Escribá replacement. The owner of Elche is confident of being able to close the new coach in the next few hours so that he will debut on Monday against Osasuna, in Pamplona. Bragarnik could bet on a different profile than Escribá as a shock. In fact, the most probable thing is that the Argentine trusts a compatriot of his for the bench, as he did with Jorge Almirón. Hernán Crespo and Sebastián Beccacece appear as candidates, although they are not the only names on the table. Hernán Crespo finished his stage at Sao Paulo and wants to make the leap to Europe. Beccacece likes him, but he’s managing Defense and Justice and might have a license issue. Francisco and Gracia have sounded from the Spanish market.
