“You can not naturalize this”: the president of Union criticized the Galician Méndez

The president of Union, Luis Spahn, pointed against coach Sebastián Méndez, who resigned in the last hours to go to Vélez, and considered that the decision was “wrong”, while criticizing that it was communicated by the representatives of the coaching staff. ” We were surprised, it was a shock the decision he made. I found out on Saturday morning and kept reserve because it was not good to develop the match (against Independiente) with this information in the partners and in the stands, “said the leader in reference to the victory against Independiente by 3-0.In this context, he added: “On Friday night they told me the possibility and on Saturday morning the determination, that I received it from the representatives. I did not receive it from the coaching staff,” in dialogue with Sol Play. They called me from the representative office and told me that it was a decision made, that it was wrong and that they could not reverse it. They represent, they can’t decide for the coaching staff. They told me that they did not share the decision at all and that it seemed wrong to them, but they could not save the situation,” he said. On the other hand, he remarked: “We are not for pain but to look for solutions, to turn the page. I understand that Velez has a desperate situation in the institutional and sports but I do not justify it. It’s not right and we don’t like it. We gave a clear statement about it, but this is not something that has not happened in life. You cannot naturalize this, there are technical bodies that respect contracts despite having other offers.” Finally, he concluded: “The coaching staff left without telling us, they did it through the representative. The reasonable thing was that after the match against Independiente, Méndez arrived at Casasol, was alone and called me. I was with my phone in hand waiting for his call.”
