Beyond the poor results in the BetPlay I League (14th in the standings) and the defeat in the debut in the 2024 Copa Libertadores, coach Jhon Jairo Bodmer would have decided to present his resignation from the position for the safety of his family.
The situation is tense, as the fans are putting pressure on the coach to leave; although the directives trust in supporting the coach to build a long-term process. However, alleged threats to Professor Bodmer’s wife would trigger the DT’s departure.
The serious reason for Bodmer’s departure from Nacional was revealed by journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez, close to the purslane insider.
Vélez assured that Bodmer “expressed to the president his intention to analyze the situation tonight (Thursday) with his family and his desire to leave office. “They threatened his wife in recent days and that would force him to leave office.”
“The club was not going to ask him to resign and will support him until he determines his future. When he makes his decision official, progress will be made in replacing him. Tomorrow (Friday) will be the usual board meeting, and if the event occurs, the issue will begin to be discussed,” said Carlos Antonio.
