The Warriors coach Pablo Repetto has accepted that he had an ultimatum from the board in case of defeat. The technician assured that the Lagunero club will soon announce his resignation as strategist, after the defeat suffered against Tigers by 3-0 within the sixth day of the Closing Tournament 2024. Repetto said, “From what I spoke yesterday with the directors, if we didn’t win they were going to fire me, so surely in these hours the club will communicate the dismissal, it is the truth of how the issue is.” Repetto would leave Santos after two defeats.
About the fact that followers of Santos booed at the end of the game after the setback, Repetto said that it is normal because everyone’s desire is for the team to do well and achieve positive results. “The issue of the fans is understandable, I wanted to win, I am a fan of a team and when I am a fan of a team and it does not win, in the heart and the people experience that, one understands it,” he added.
The helmsman said that there were various factors that prevented them from having positive results in the current tournament, among which were the departure of some players and the arrival of others, but that it is part of football. Santos accumulates four units in the current competition, after a victory, a draw and four losses, which is why it remained in the last places in the general classification.
For his part, Robert Dante Siboldi, strategist of Tigers considered that this day the ball rolled in favor of his team and made it clear that the victory as visitors against the Laguneros is the merit of the players. “Today the ball rolled in our favor, we faced a great rival that runs, that plays, that does not give up the ball for lost, but we came out on a good night, we had a bit of luck in the first goal, which was caused by the pressure, we are happy and satisfied with the result that allows us to continue adding, winning as a visitor, a great job by the boys, all the credit goes to them.”
It remains to be seen who will be the next coach for the Warriors, as they look to turn around their fortunes in the Closing Tournament 2024.
