« Joke » of President Vizcaíno

Great confusion within the Spanish first division club FC Cádiz. Club president Manuel Vizcaíno appears to have fired coach Sergio González and his entire coaching staff on Saturday, only to announce minutes later that the manager’s contract had been renewed.

« Given the speculation of the last few days, I must confirm that Sergio Ganzález and his team will not be at Cádiz FC next season, » Vizcaíno said in a first video on Twitter. A shock to fans of the relatively small southern Spanish club, which thanks to the popular coach and a fighting squad was able to stay in the top flight and finished the 2022/23 season in a respectable 14th place. The 46-year-old’s points average is 1.19 in 59 games.

Then, a few minutes later, a second video in which someone rings the doorbell, which Coach González then opens and announces radiantly: « Calm down, the best is yet to come. » Shortly after, without further explanation, the salute for the fans: « He (the coach) will sign for two (seasons). Welcome home, sir. We will continue to grow, » Vizcaíno clarified with a smile in a third video on Twitter.
