Manolo González admits his Espanyol job is at risk
Ahead of the Copa del Rey tie at Sestao River on Tuesday, the coach says he has lost credibility but is not leaving. Deportivo visit on Friday.
Manolo González has admitted that his position as Espanyol coach is in danger. According to Mundo Deportivo, he faces a new ultimatum before Tuesday's Copa del Rey tie at Sestao River, at a press conference that lasted around 25 minutes.
He acknowledged that he has lost a lot of credibility but insisted this is not a farewell. He said he has had few recent conversations with Monchi and feels backed because the club has not sacked him.
On the lineup, he promised a strong side with no mass rotation like in past seasons, aiming to go through. He also pointed to goals conceded late in matches as one of the causes of the bad run, and said Friday's match against Deportivo will weigh heavily on his future.
