Luis Campos’ work at the helm of Celta’s sports management leaves much to be desired, and proof of this is the team’s performance in the league, as not even a coach of Rafa Benítez’s stature manages to take advantage of it.
They weren’t easy years in his career, as his golden age was long gone, but The arrival of Rafa Benítez excited all Celta fans. There was something logical about it, as a coach came who had been Champions League champions with Liverpool, Club World Champions with Inter, League champions with Valencia and Europa League champions with Chelsea.
Furthermore, he already has experience with teams like Real Madrid, so expectations were exaggerated even though he had played for smaller teams in recent years. Yet and despite the illusion created, Things aren’t going well for Rafa Benítez at Celta. But the culprit is someone else, because the truth is that Luis Campos’ sporting planning leaves a lot to be desired.
Rafa Benítez, relieved in Celta
Although all eyes have been on him in recent months, the truth is this Rafa Benítez continues to enjoy Celta’s trust. This is difficult to understand even for many fans as the team’s performance is very poor. But if we look Celta’s squadwe understand everything.
During summer, Celta earned more than 40 million euros from the sales of Gabri Veiga, Orbelín Pineda and Javi Galán. But here too, the money went into investments that didn’t make sense for the team. And Luis Campos once again trusted foreign players with no LaLiga experience. Something that has already proven unprofitable.
The big mistakes of Luis Campos
If Strand Larsen and Swedberg arrived in 2022, who raised a lot of doubts in their first season, this year is a player like Douvikas, who only has 210 minutes in the league. This is really worrying considering he is the fifth most expensive signing in the club’s history, having paid €12 million for his signing.
We must not forget that Bayern Munich cost Bryan Zaragoza for just 3 million more than Douvikas. That’s why he is, given his terrible sports management Rafa Benítez has decided to expose Celta’s sporting director. He achieved this by using the fifth and fourteenth most expensive signings in the club’s history in the cup along with the rest of the secondary players, thereby showing that they were substitutes. The fight with Luis Campos has begun. And everything indicates that the Portuguese will be the first to leave the team.
