Celta is a role model for almost all La Liga teams | Relief

Those of us who have followed Celta’s daily life for years We know that the Vigo team can be a great example of getting things done on a regular basis. In recent years, the team has struggled more times to avoid losing in the last round than to achieve the comfortable consistency it only achieved with Eduardo Coudet.. In 2019, 2020 and 2023 he had to wait until the last day to find out whether he would continue to compete in the First Division the following year. At the moment there are still four days left, but it seems that salvation will come sooner.

However, Celta needed to hit rock bottom again to make the smartest decision for the first time in a long time. Many times, leaders made their lives difficult with hiring that sometimes bordered on the absurd, changes in the workforce that no one understood or asked for, and capricious anger that did little for the greater good. The situation seems to have changed, especially thanks to Marian Mourinho.

Many people have pointed to the current Celta president as a leader who can be put to good use. there because she is the daughter of the previous top president. In a sense this is true, the shares belong to his family and no one wants or wants to pay more than 100 million, but They didn’t even give her the opportunity to make a mistake.. After a few months, his error counter was significantly lower than his success counter. The latter, giving an opportunity to Claudio Giraldes.

Rafa Benitez arrived in Vigo last year thanks to Luis Campos and Carlos Mourinho, who was already living out his last days in office. Its position became better and worse until the offices were seriously afraid of decline. And since the decision to sack him came 24 hours after the defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu, it was time to do it right, because otherwise the consequences would have been catastrophic.

At that time there were two options. On the one side, follow the same path as in recent years and try your luck with an outside coachwho has little time to work and no knowledge about the club. Another option is to be prudent and entrust the job to reserve team coach Claudio Giraldes. Of course, there was a risk, but in a club that is considered a youth club, it was worth it. The one at O ​​Porrinho was the simplest option, and although you may not believe it, sometimes simplicity is the best option.

Six days later Celta are eight points clear of relegation and can breathe for the first time in 13 months. And it is celebrated most of all by the Celtists, those who flock to Balaidos every fifteen days. Giraldes’ team is a vibrant and fun team led by a local coach, led by the best player in its history and a La Liga legend who also hails from home, and with a handful of young home-grown players who are already the stars.

Celta took no risks. Because there is a lot of talent in the quarries that deserve this opportunity. Marian Mourinho deserved it in the summer and Giraldes deserves it now. And the consequences couldn’t be more positive. In short, Celta are an example that almost all La Liga teams should follow. If you look north you will see the project. And there was a desire.
