Is the new year really new?

That’s definitely a big question people have. strengthen them today. 2025 has been a disappointing year, far from the standards achieved in previous years, with an alarming disorientation at the end of the year. The first bet is Sergio Franciscofailure became apparent in an apparent attempt to recreate a previous successful model, and the removal of the coach was understood to be the most appropriate corrective action.

Expectations were high because learning the identity of a new coach comes with a conceptual burden. At issue was the standard by which he would lead his team, at least for the next few months. And the one chosen was… Pellegrino Matarazzoa mid-high profile engineer with the right pedigree, although far from a name that will wow fans.

Looking back, and more specifically looking back at the period between the team’s last promotion and today, we find some situations that, with logical exceptions, can be compared to the case at hand. I’m talking about layoffs. get lost and Garitanotwo men from the land and familiar with the terrain they walked, but the law of consequences left them out of the equation. The solutions in both cases were very different. Meanwhile, the first solution was replaced by the British. david moyesthe second was relieved Imanol Alguacil. I rarely comment on the consequences of both decisions without explaining the consequences of both decisions. The resolution adopted this time is more similar to the first draft than the second, but I hope that the outcome will be different. Matarazzo is starting from scratch, which usually has its pros and cons. Although he has little knowledge of the club’s home base, he comes in with a fresh head and no preconceptions. Time is not in your favor as immediate results are required. But this is football…and he knows it.

“Reno is a safe asset.”

Of course, I am not in a position to affirm anything on this matter, so these are not my words, but the words of the president of the Aperi Bay Club. He ran away like a scalded cat from the concept of “risky bets” and turned to “safe value” to explain the hiring of the American coach. In the world of economics and finance, safe securities or safe assets such as gold and hard currencies are financial assets that investors acquire to protect their capital in times of crisis. Perhaps that is what Real Sociedad were looking for in acquiring Matarazzo’s services. Starting from the undisputed premise, which everyone accepts, that we are in a critical juncture, the appropriate thing to do is to look to those kinds of assets that provide security in times of uncertainty.
From there, we can only hope that the exploration work carried out by the club’s engineers is successful and leads to the success we all hope for. I can’t add much more at this early stage as it’s all good words and best wishes, but I’ll have to try to translate them later on the field.
The only thing that will decide the success or failure of this strategy is time, and only the judges who cannot appeal.

europe, long term

“Then the long-term goal is to return to European competition,” Matarazzo said. Dixit). When you ask me that, I’m a little worried. We are used to knocking on Europe’s door every year, and now the options are presented from a “long-term” perspective. Have we gone back that far? Well, based on what we’ve seen this season, it probably is. It will be up to the new coach to get the team back to where it was before.

“It didn’t work out, I didn’t understand it.”

Real Sociedad’s director of football, Eric Bretos, verbalized what we have all already seen. The measures adopted to correct the trends the team had fallen into since last season did not have the desired effect. Healing self-criticism is always a healthy first step to healing. Now it’s time to revise, revise, and get the formula right. Count with zero. More or less.
