Ansotegui’s madness reaches Real: 6,100km in 11 days and 5 games against 3 different teams

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunities can come during busy times. The provisional version looks like this AEON ANSOTEGI As coach of Real Sociedad’s first team. Between matches, trips, decisions and responsibilities, the Beliathua coach has a busy life that is crazy in every sense of the word. However, it is not played by one team, but by multiple teams.

And cold data is great. From December 10th to 21st, he will travel approximately 6,100 kilometers to play five games in five different locations with three different teams. It’s in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, there were no home games in between, which complicated the whole itinerary and caused the club to delay announcing the manager’s sacking. Sergio Francisco because he caught Anseotegi In Coruña. He will not ultimately take over as Sanse’s coach against Ceuta on Sunday, but will soon return from Valencia and head to Anoeta.

It all started on the 10th when they traveled to Brighton to play against Real U-21s on the second day of the Premier League International Cup, a youth competition. 2200km round trip. He returned but had little time as the Sensé second division match was postponed to be played on Saturday the 13th at the Riazor Stadium in La Coruña. Another 640 km from Donostia. There he received the news that he had to move to the first team, and this is how he left. Aguirreche He will be able to travel to Donostia first thing the next morning (another 640 km) to lead the training of the first team. And it was scheduled to debut on the 16th. In the cup match, Elda vs. Eldense. Another 1,450km round trip. He doesn’t end there because he has a little more margin, but he will travel to Valencia this Friday and on Saturday he will face the league’s top team, Levante, at the Ciuta de Valencia. 575 km each way, then you can immediately return the same few km to watch the match between Sanse and Ceuta in Anoeta on Sunday. Because, although he will not be the manager this time, he will have to pay attention to what the team will do when they train again during the Christmas break once their work with the first team is finished. You can’t ignore them. And we will definitely contact you John GorozateguiTechnical Assistant to replace him.

So the crazy two weeks were almost forced on Beliatua, who has little head coaching experience but is gaining it by leaps and bounds. ‘Big John’ is a head of the family who is dedicated to Real and its cause, and it shows. It remains to be seen how the year ends for the club and for him, but so far he has three wins from three games against three different teams. They won 1-2 against Brighton, 0-3 against Deportivo and 1-2 against Eldense. The plenary session with Levante seems important.
