Unai emery confirmed to Fernando Roig Negueroles, CEO of Villarreal, who remains in the yellow club despite the offer that Newcastle had planned to formally present to him. The Basque coach maintained a telephone conversation with the tile leader While he was returning in his car to Valencia, around of the one in the morning, after the important victory against Young Boys. The triumph keeps the team co-leading their Champions group, waiting for the outcome in the last two days versus United and Atalanta.
The call was made by Unai himself already on the road and it was a very sincere conversation the one that both maintained. On the side of Roig Negueroles there was no questioning about what decision he had made as a quiet exposition of the reasons why in the Villarreal want Emery to continue. The Basque coach – despite the fact that the team has not started well in LaLiga – will remain in the history of Villarreal like the coach that cfollowed the first European title of the club. But it’s not just the historic milestone that has strengthened Emery’s ties to the submarine. In the submarine, Emery – who comes from training big European clubs– A direct relationship with the leaders has been found, and also a very professional club in all areas.
Unai Emery reported that he already had the decision taken from not heeding Newcastle’s proposal and that he stays at Villarreal. Despite the doubts left by the coach in the interviews after the game and at the press conference, as the morning progressed, his decision towards “I’m staying” became much more categorical, but it matured in two stages.
Before their public appearances in which Emery left the door open to go to Newcastle, the coach I had already had a fairly long meeting (about 50 minutes conversation) in the locker room with Fernando Roig Negueroles. There they talked about everything, party, team, and future. And the attitude of the Basque coach had been similar to the one he showed later in the interview with Movistar Champions League and, a little later, at the press conference: “They have conveyed interest to me and I did not say no.”
Pressure from Newcastle
Emery had lived the last 24 hours with suffocating pressure and it was something that he did not like. The constant leaks from the magpies club they had put the coach in the eye of the hurricane before a key game in Villarreal’s future season. In fact, if the result had not been victory, the image of the technician would have suffered a reduction important of his popularity in Villarreal. The Basque coach did not like how the English media were giving details and aired rumors or false news, such as videoconferencing meetings or that you were decided he was training Thursday at St. James Park or that on Saturday he would sit on the bench of the black and white team in the game against him Brighton.
In the last 48 hours -the time that elapsed between the League match against Valencia and the Champions League match against Young boys, wanted to focus exclusively on the match against the Swiss team, which was key for the future of sport immediate from Villarreal. But once the game was over, had time to think and weigh on the one hand, the door that was opened going back to England and, on the other, the one that closed if he went with the project unfinished of Villarreal. Therefore, although the team did not train today, they decided to call Roig Negueroles to express your firm decision to stay.
Through his social networks, the Villarreal also wanted to make it clear that the situation of the submarine technician is absolute normality with respect to the future. In fact, through social networks, they have congratulated the yellow technician for his 50th birthday. The Basque coach is now in a moment of personal and professional maturity in which you have the ability to decide your future by assessing aspects beyond the purely economic, as you just demonstrated in this case. The situation in Villarreal this season is not idyllic due to the crisis of results that the team is going through, although it is a club that enjoys a good sports and economic health.
