Walter Otta on Primera Nacional: ‘You must adapt, history is past’ | OneFootball

Deportivo Morón head coach Walter Otta spoke exclusively with the ADN program on Radio Gol 96.7, hosted by Darío Pignata, and analyzed his team’s current situation as one of the protagonists in Primera Nacional.

Regarding the rumors linking him with El Sabalero, the coach was blunt in explaining that there was never any formal contact. “Honestly, no—at least neither I nor my representatives were ever told anything,” he clarified, before making clear what the “Gallito’s” real goal is: “Beyond the desire, we already see it as an objective; our objective is to take Morón to the first division.”

When analyzing Primera Nacional, Otta described it as a very complicated and difficult division, criticizing the lack of rewards in the current format. “I think it offers the least reward for any really good campaign you can have; the reward is very small for the number of teams, and it’s cruel, but it’s the most beautiful tournament there is.” In that regard, he reflected on how complex it is for historic clubs to adapt to the reality of the division.

“Even though it hurts us, and maybe it must hurt fans of very big teams like Colón, history is left far behind when you drop into the B Nacional,” he stated, adding that “you have to get used to living in the present you’re in and be aware of where you are.”

Finally, the coach opened his heart about the enormous pressures surrounding his profession and the need to seek professional support. “Today I’m in the hands of a psychologist; thank God the psychiatrist discharged me,” he confessed very naturally, arguing that this support is indispensable.
