It all started when Racing de Santander scored 0-2 at Riazor. The leader was going over Deportivo and the president of the Galician team did not like it. Yeremay’s goal, which had already saved the coach’s head last season, was not enough and Idiakez was dismissed this Monday, five months after returning Riazor to silverware.

Massimo Benassi (General Director), Fernando Soriano (Sports Director) and Michelle Clemente (Vice President) met on Sunday after the defeat to look for a replacement on the bench. The name came out Sergiofirst, and that of Pachetaafter. But both were discarded for various reasons. The former Dépor player has just had hip surgery and for the man from Burgos, the offer came late.

On Monday, with Idiakez already gone, the names of Luis Miguel Ramis, David Gallego and Bruno Saltor. The former Chelsea player is the one who came closest to closing his signing, but he did not make the property cut.

In the last few hours it has also sounded Juan Carlos Valeron. The former player has been negotiating his signing with Deportivo to enter the organizational chart of the sporting field or even be an advisor at the club. Who will be the new coach of Dépor? We will know soon. Right now, Ramis seems the best positioned, with Francisco in the bedroom.

Idiakez leaves without saying goodbye to Soriano or Benassi

In a farewell letter, the former Dépor coach makes it clear that the dismissal was not expected and that everything was a spur of the moment. He says goodbye to everyone at the club, including president Escotet and vice president Michelle, but he ‘forgets’ about the Sports Director and the General Director.
