Carvalhal relieves Coudet at the head of Celta

Celta made official this afternoon the dismissal of Argentine Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet as coach of the first team. The Portuguese Carlos Carvalhal has been named the new coach of the Galician team.

"Chacho Coudet and his coaching staff are disassociating themselves from RC Celta after a fruitful stage, which began on November 12, 2020. The Argentine coach is therefore leaving the club after two years in which the team offered great performance", he highlights the entity chaired by Carlos Mouriño in his statement.

With a contract until June 2024, although both parties had agreed to include a release clause at the end of the 2022-23 academic year, Coudet's stage ends much earlier than expected, despite the fact that his distance from President Carlos Mouriño was more than evident in the last months.

The arrival of the Portuguese Luis Campos to the sports management took away his prominence in the configuration of the squad this season, something that the Argentine repeated in his last appearances before the press.

These criticisms, which the president and maximum shareholder did not like, and above all the irregular start of the course, with 11 points out of a possible 36, left the Argentine 'touched', despite the fact that he had the support of the locker room.

"The club, after this difficult decision, wants to express to Coudet and his assistants its most sincere thanks for the dedication, honesty and professionalism they showed from the first day of their time in Vigo, in which they always offered a commendable attitude and carried out a exceptional work, without haggling over efforts and with exemplary involvement, ”says the club.

Midfielder Denis Suárez said goodbye this Wednesday to his coach for the last two years at Celta, Argentine Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet, pointing out that "today is a sad day" and that the coach has helped him "be a better player and better person.

"Today is a sad day, but if you look ahead you can be calm because a great future awaits you. I have no doubts. You and your coaching staff have helped me to be a better player and a better person. I will never forget it. Thank you, crazy", The ex-soccer player from Barcelona, ​​Seville or Villarreal, among others, wrote on his social networks.

The under-21 international Fran Beltrán also showed his thanks and praise for the former sky-blue coach: "Eternally grateful for how much you have taught me from day one. I wish the best to all the staff and your families."

The Portuguese Carlos Carvalhal, this Wednesday announced as Celta's new coach, replacing the dismissed Argentine Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet, is the fifth new coach to sit on the bench of a Santander League team since the start of the 2022-23 season .

Previously, Alberto Gallego (Elche), interim substitute for Francisco Rodríguez; the Argentine Jorge Sampaoli (Sevilla), instead of Julen Lopetegui; the also Argentinian Jorge Almirón (Elche), occupying the square of Alberto Gallego; and Quique Setién (Villarreal), in the position of Unai Emery.
