Mantecón has also not achieved the first victory of the season for the Elche team
Francisco, Almirón and now Mantecón have been unable to achieve a victory in 14 games in the Santander League. This has sunk down the rankings to Elche CF, who with four points is already eight away from leaving the danger zone. A practically insurmountable distance for a team that I did not lose hope to convince Bordalás to try to work the miracle in the second half of the season.
However, with only four draws in their locker, they have become the first team already has one foot in the SmartBank League. Something that has been key to Bordalás will reject the position. Something that could have been very different if the result against Girona FC had been different.
Bordalás rejects Elche CF after the last defeat
With the last defeat suffered in the league, the team from Elche sinks even further in the classification, as they could stay up to eleven points away from relegation. Due to this situation, Bordalás has decided to reject the job and wait for other opportunities, since he knows that the situation is already insurmountable.
Mantecón himself was very critical of the level of the team after yesterday’s defeat, going so far as to ensure that they do not have sufficient level to compete in the Santander League. Now comes the break for the World Cup in Qatar. Parón that they will try to take advantage of to find a coach who can return the illusion to the squad and the fans.
The coaches that Elche CF could get
The main problem is that no coach wants to take charge of a team sentenced to relegation. At least they won’t do it if they don’t have guarantees of being able to lead the project in the SmartBank League. In this case, they could try to get the arrival of a more proven coach.
In this way, names such as Aitor Karanka, Asier Garitano, Martí or Rubén Baraja could fit into the coaching profile that Elche CF is looking for, who could choose to take charge of the team to try to return it to the Santander League next season . Be that as it may, we will have to wait to find out what decision the Elche team makes.
