Kily González leaves Platense: "I'm sad, didn't want to go" | OneFootball

The coach, who was dismissed from Calamar this Sunday following the 3-0 defeat against Independiente last Friday, clarified that he did not leave angry with the directors.

Kily González, who was dismissed as the coach of Platense this Sunday after the 3-0 loss to Independiente last Friday, revealed: “I am sad, I didn’t want to leave.”

“There are many tears in between, but it’s football and we know these situations can happen,” revealed the 51-year-old coach in an interview with ESPN, although he clarified: “The important thing is what you leave in the players. I am not leaving angry with the directors, on the contrary. Being approached by the last champion of Argentine football was a challenge to see where we stood. It didn’t turn out as we expected, but hopefully, I can return to the field soon.”

At Calamar, the coach achieved two victories, five draws, and seven defeats in 14 matches, results that led to his departure. “Football is about winning and, especially the last match, was not what we had planned. Based on that, one understands that the results were not what we had sought throughout the championship, which is why the decision to dismiss me was made. You have to accept it.” expressed Kily.

Despite the poor current state of the Vicente López team, which is 13th in zone B with 11 points, far from the playoffs, the former coach of Rosario Central and Unión emphasized: “I didn’t want to leave, nothing in my life was easy and I like challenges. I always try to fulfill my contract and I conveyed this to the president yesterday, but it went beyond my desire to continue. I understand their position. As happens in football, the coach is removed and it is totally respectable.”

Kily, who in his previous stages was known for lasting a long time in the position (68 matches with Canalla and 77 with Tatengue), had to replace the duo composed of Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez, who decided not to continue after winning the Apertura, but the numbers supported him.
