The dismissal of Óscar García a year ago was the chronicle of an announced dismissal. After saving Celta from relegation the previous season and after renewing in the summer, the Catalan coach was fired in the middle of a civil war in the dressing room (he withdrew Mallo’s captain’s armband). He was never in decline, but the results, the image and the conflicts doomed him. Finally, He was dismissed at the beginning of November after the Vigo team added only seven points in the first nine days.
Óscar signed a record of one victory, four draws and four defeats, while Coudet has two wins, one draw and six defeats. Only Alavés and Getafe, the last two classified in LaLiga, lose more than Celta. The enthusiasm of the ‘Chachoneta’ fades, but that does not mean that his position is on the wire.
Contrary to what happened with Oscar, the directive from Vigo is not considering a change of coach for now. Last season’s endorsement is more than enough to keep him in office. In addition, the dressing room is united and in the stands no murmurs are heard. There is a social peace that allows Chacho to work calmly.
Coudet’s numbers are the same as those of Óscar García and worse than those of Fran Escribá, Tony Mohamed, Juan Carlos Unzué and Berizzo. However, Chacho has a mirror to look at, that of the current Spanish coach, Luis Enrique. His start at Celta was disastrous, six points in the first nine matchdays, and he finished the season close to the European positions. As now, the board did not question then the continuity of the Asturian, who had the support of the staff.
While it is true that at the moment confidence in Chacho is full, the calendar can turn it around in weeks. Celta visits their cursed field, the Coliseum, on Thursday, receives the current leader, Real Sociedad, opens November with the revelation team, Rayo Vallecano at home, and closes the cycle of games before the break by facing Barcelona in Balaídos. They are four very tough encounters that can mark Coudet’s future.
