The soap opera continues in Rico Pérez's offices about the possible new coach of Hércules due to the apparently imminent departure of Ruben Torrecilla.
The truth is that nothing has gone as expected by the Hércules board at the start of the season.. After a promising summer market and a great preseason, the blue and white team was nominated as one of the big favorites in group 2 of the 1stRFEF. A victory, a draw and four defeats in six games have placed Hércules at the bottom, completely knocking out Torrecillawho is still clinging to a hypothetical victory that does not seem to be coming.
The defeat last week in Teruel was the last straw. From that moment, Paco Pena y Enrique Ortiz They picked up their phones and began to shuffle different profiles that could occupy Rico Pérez's bench and change the face of a squad and locker room that seems to no longer believe in the Extremaduran coach's speech.
Two weeks ago, against Alcorcón, the rumors centered around the Basque coach Jon Pérez waswho was seen in the Rico Pérez box watching the game. Bolo's son, Adrián washas been active in the blue and white ranks since this summer, so doubts began to arise as to whether his father was there watching his son or had gone to negotiate with the technical office to become the new coach of Hércules.
Apparently both things were true, because after the defeat in Teruel, both Ortiz and Peña have tried to convince Bolo to revive a Hercules sunk in the last place in group 2 of the third step of Spanish football.
After days of negotiation, the Bolo option has been moving away little by little, to the point that Torrecilla's continuity was confirmed for Friday's match against Atleti Bcurrent leader of the group, who will visit Rico Pérez this Friday to either give Rubén Torrecilla another possible life, or be the definitive executioner of a coach who has not been up to par this start of the season and who has used up all the bullets in his magazine.
