The tremendous setback suffered by Portugalete, which has been left out of the play-off positions despite being one of the top contenders for promotion, has soon brought its first consequences. Just one hour after the end of the pitchers’ match against Pasaia, which definitively condemned them to sixth place, Fernando Amorebieta has announced his resignation as sports director in a statement on his social networks.
The former Athletic player arrived at the club just ten months ago with the aim of building a champion team. Far from those expectations, they have not even been able to compete with the teams that lead the table. Faced with this disappointing campaign, Amorebieta has decided to step aside. Iker Zarate, known as Portugalete’s ‘team manager’, has also joined him. He has to make a clean slate for the next course.
Fernando Amorebieta said in his farewell note that “we leave with a clear conscience for having given everything we have inside for the club.” «Sometimes things do not go the way you want and when these circumstances occur you have to know how to step aside and make way for new blood. We would like to thank the Board of Directors for the opportunity they have given us; to the players for their day-to-day work; and to the coaching staff for the hours invested in this project. I wish you with all my heart the greatest successes in the future, ”he settles.
