Toché draws a line: “nobody has infinite credit” at Albacete
The sporting director supports Alberto González, but won’t guarantee continuity if Albacete lose to Eibar.
Toché, Albacete’s sporting director, stood by Alberto González after a tough start to the league, but warned that “nobody has infinite credit” to lean on. He told the fans the club is worried yet focused on turning things around, and put responsibility on his own side: “From the sporting department, me in charge, I’m the one with the biggest responsibility for what’s happening.”
Limited patience, results first
Toché said he would be the first to go if trust runs out, and rejected any idea of leaving together with the coach: “No, not at all.” He also dismissed pay-related motives for confidence: if you sack a coach, you still have to pay the full contract.
Why Albacete are last: absences, defense, injuries
On being bottom, he pointed to the number of absences, defensive frailty and a lack of goals. He added that some knee injuries from traumas are unpredictable, and said the club has been working on physical and technical work, including hiring “another fitness coach.” This Saturday, Eibar visit the Carlos Belmonte, a game Toché framed as a turning point, though he refused to guarantee González’s future if Albacete lose.
