Cadiz fires Sergio Gonzalez | Football | Kinds of sports

Cadiz fired Sergio Gonzalez after the Andalusian team lost to Alaves (1-0). Sergio arrived at Cadiz two years ago and has played twice in the First Division. However, Cadiz’s poor run ended his time on the bench. There are currently 17 league matches that relegation side Cadiz have not won. Manuel Vizcaino, the president of Cadiz, can no longer tolerate the coach who surpassed Victor Escarrago in this match in Vitoria and became the Cadiz coach with the most games in the First Division. A total of 77 matches, with a balance of 18 wins, 28 draws and 31 losses. “The board of directors of the Cadiz Football Club met this Saturday after the return of the expedition from Vitoria and informed Sergio Gonzalez of his dismissal as coach of the first team. The organization wants to thank him for the work he did in the 82 games he spent on the bench, 77 of them in La Liga, where he remained top-flight twice. Along with the coach, Diego Ribera and Sergio Dorado, assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach, are leaving their positions,” Cadiz said in a statement.

The Cadiz team’s run has been inconsistent. Sergio’s group has scored only 8 points and 10 goals (8 draws and 9 losses) over the past 17 days. “The people of Cadiz don’t deserve this. We apologize, we can’t say anything more to them,” admitted Ledesma, goalkeeper and captain of Cadiz. Alaves defeated the Cadiz team with a Rioja goal after Alejo Quique Garcia’s naive penalty in the 51st minute Cadiz had not won a game since September 1 (3-1 against Villarreal). So the team showed signs of identity that made it competitive. However, in 2024, Cádiz underperformed against Granada (2-0), Valencia (1-4) and Alaves (1-0).

“You know how this football works. It was clear that it was an extra goal against Alaves. An opportunity that I think this coaching staff deserves. And it didn’t turn out very well. Let’s wait to see what the president decides. Thank you to the guys for these two years, for what can happen,” Sergio himself said at the end of the match in Vitoria. On the next match day, Cadiz will host Athletic at Nuevo Mirandilla. The name of Guilla Abascal, the Spanish coach of Spartak Moscow, has been repeatedly mentioned as a possible replacement for the Catalan.
