End of an Era for Sergio Pellicer
In a significant shift for Málaga CF, the tenure of coach Sergio Pellicer appears to be coming to an end. Following a disappointing loss against Cultural Leonesa, Pellicer’s departure is imminent.
End of an Era for Sergio Pellicer
The defeat, which concluded with a 1-0 scoreline, marks the continuation of a troubling trend for the club. By collecting only eight points from the last 33 available, Pellicer’s era is deemed unsustainable.
Consequences of Poor Performance
Club director Loren Juarros informed Pellicer about the decision to part ways. The news has been conveyed to the coaching staff and players, many of whom expressed feelings of disappointment in the aftermath of the game.
Key Details
- Match Result: Cultural Leonesa 1 – 0 Málaga CF
- Recent Performance: 8 points from the last 33
- Decision Made: Official announcement post-arrival in Málaga
- Next Match: Sunday against Mirandés
Relations between Pellicer and the club’s administrative body have not been smooth. José María Muñoz, despite an economic role, has exercised influence over the sports decisions, contributing to the coach’s challenges.
Transition Plan
As Málaga returns to the Costa del Sol, the team is faced with the urgency of preparing for their upcoming fixture. Alejandro Acejo, the assistant coach, is expected to take charge temporarily. However, there is also a possibility that Bravo, the second coach of the B team and a former club captain, could step in during this transitional phase.
The club aims to finalize the appointment of a new manager before Wednesday, ensuring that the new face is ready for the match at La Rosaleda this upcoming Sunday.
