a style of play that didn’t work and a new dressing room that lost confidence in it | Relief
Julen Guerrero will no longer sit on Amorebieta’s bench after several stressful months, with too many obstacles and poor results that made the situation unmanageable. There have been messages of support from the sport’s governing body in recent days, but if there is one truth in the world of football, it is that this is usually a prelude to sacking. This was the case in the blue club, which could no longer stand the Athletic legend after the defeat suffered in Tarazona. this pushed the team into last position in Group 1 of the First Federation and forced decisions to be made. Guerrero’s first experience on the bench of a professional club soon ended. And bad.
To understand this, you need to analyze the context. This is one of the first things answered when asked about the reasons for this failure. He led the club, recently relegated from the second division, to last position in the first federation. At the beginning of June, they fought Mirandes on the last day to save the category, and today, just five months after that duel between both teams, the people of Miranda dream of promotion to the First, and the Biscayans are looking for solutions so as not to lose another category. . Meanwhile, changes in the sports management, on the bench and in the dressing room, in which only Unai Marino continues to work -the third goalkeeper who did not debut among those who fought in second place.
The return to Urritxe, home of Amorebieta, which they were unable to use in their two appearances in LaLiga Hypermotion, was not easy. Not only because of the emotional blow of relegation, which was already difficult to reverse in the last such experience in Amorebieta, but also because the club had insisted on communication in recent months. Despite the current name of the organization, The economic reality remains that the club has few resources. and that he has to juggle to compete.
In the context of maximum restructuring, Julen Guerrero was selected. A coach also known for what he did as a player, but who He made his debut at the head of the bench of a professional club.. His previous experience was in the youth team of Athletica, where he made an unsuccessful debut, with Malaga and in the lower categories of the Spanish national team.
“I am a brave coach, very ambitious, who wants to participate in games. Modern, with a game offer in which we can change something during the game,” he defined in his presentation, in which he also defined the profile of the player he was looking for: “Hungry, with the desire to progress, who we will help in his improvement.” The style of play he dreamed of, with an outstanding message similar to what he was looking for in the lower categories of the national team. This was what he sought to realize in Amorebieta, which did not acquire any solidity in these first ten days.
Six defeats, three draws and just one win tell the story, although Guerrero insisted they deserved to take more points. The goals conceded – 19 in 10 games – show that something is wrong in defense. It was this weakness that undermined the confidence of the team, which began to lose faith as the weeks passed, and above all due to blows to the results. Guerrero’s message no longer arrived like in the summer And given this situation, Jabi Luaces, who is also under a lot of criticism, made the most difficult decision in recent months – to fire the one who was his “first choice” as a coach.
The organization’s statement said there was a “belief” within the club that this change to the bench meant The “turning point” in the game and the results of Amorebieta who has cup commitments before hosting the Cultural Leonesa leader in Urritxa and then heading to Galicia to face Arenteiro, who is second. A very difficult schedule for which there is currently no official coach sitting on the blue bench.
The one who will continue to work in the organization will be Julen John Guerrero.who started in the starting line-up in Amorebieta’s first and only victory, but gradually faded away until he lost that status after three defeats and gained little prominence in the last two days. His first experience with his father, a great supporter of his arrival in Biscay, lasted only two months.. Now, like the entire club, he will strive to get out of this hole that the club has fallen into, forced to move forward in this situation.
