ANDl Elche continues in search of the coach after falling the option Pablo Machin. The owner franjiverde, Christian bragarnik, had already closed an agreement with the Soriano technician, but Machín’s request for time to leave the Saudi Al-Raed dynamited the operation. This was explained by Bragarnik himself at a lunch with the media at the stadium Martinez Valero. The Argentine representative understood that Machín is not fully convinced of coming to Elche, so he has preferred to reject his arrival.
In this way, the Elche team continues without a tenant on the bench after the recent dismissal of Fran Escribá, which left the franjiverdes in decline after 14 days. Bragarnik’s conversations with Francisco Rodríguez and Javi Gracia did not bear fruit either. Between this Thursday and Friday, the franjiverde owner will hold meetings with two unemployed national technicians.
And it doesn’t even rule out the possible return of Jorge Almirón, who was dismissed as Elche coach last season. Of course, beyond this survey or possible contacts with Eduardo ‘Toto’ Berizzo, Bragarnik’s plans do not include resorting to the South American market, from which he had been related to Hernan Crespo and Sebastian beccacece. Nor try to hire a second coach, such as Pacheta, with which Elche rose to First two seasons ago.
With this situation, the franjiverde squad prepares the visit to Osasuna, on Monday at 9:00 p.m. in El Sadar. A duel for which the Elche bench will possibly be occupied by a interim coach. The team from Elche opens the descent with 11 points and accumulates six days in a row without winning. He fell in his last game against Betis (0-3). A result that cost Fran Escribá his job, although Bragarnik had already been considering his dismissal for weeks.
