Lautaro Acosta bids farewell to Lanús, takes aim at the board | OneFootball

After being champion of a new Copa Sudamericana, and following the elimination against Tigre in the Torneo Clausura, Lautaro Acosta ended his historic tenure at Lanús and announced his retirement as a professional footballer. El Laucha bid farewell on social media but took a jab at the Granate management.

“Today I have to say goodbye to the club of my loves, the place that was my home for almost 30 years, where I arrived as an 8-year-old boy and leave as a man, a father. Where I lived the best moments of my life, where we laughed, cried, but always together,” expressed the now former forward on his Instagram account.

Although he indicated that “for reasons beyond my control, I have to leave,” he assured that “this is not a goodbye, but a see you later, because the bond that unites us goes beyond any decision.” Later, he emphasized, “I want to clarify that I never disrespected as it was suggested” and that “the decision for me not to continue at the club was made by the management.”

This explosive post by Acosta against the Lanús management arises from the fact that, while playing his last matches at the club, he held talks with the management about his future within the club. Initially, they had offered him to coach the Seventh and Sixth Division alongside his brother Rodrigo, who is currently in Reserve, something that did not sit well with both.

Soon after, they decided to accept the offer, but the institution withdrew the offer because they reportedly said things that were not well received and were told they were out of the club. Rodrigo Acosta will now take on a role, along with another former Lanús player, Ezequiel Carboni, at the Selectivo of Talleres de Córdoba. Meanwhile, Fabio Radaelli will assume the position of Amateur Football Coordinator at Granate.

“And to the fans who always gave me so much affection and love, which I have no way to repay, just to thank you, tell you that I love you and that you should know that I gave my all to defend this badge always”,
