Coleman’s crying on the Avenue and the charged “goodbye” with Atromitos

Intensely emotionally charged was the “divorce” between Atromitos and Chris Coleman.

On Tuesday (10/10), two days after the heavy defeat (5-0) of Peristeriot from Panathinaikos, it was announced on common consent solution of the cooperation of the two sides. And in this case the whole… background refers to something more than a consensual “end”.

Initially, it is recalled that in their announcement the “blue and white” emphasized to the Welsh technician that it will forever belong to their familywith the experienced coach himself speaking in his statements about how the last few days have been among the most difficult in life and in his career, as well as how in Greece and much more in Peristeri he now has one second home.

At this point, therefore, it should be emphasized that after the conclusion of the confrontation on the Avenue, Chris Coleman she burst into tears in the locker room. And not because… he saw that it would mean the end of his collaboration with Atromitos. On the contrary, he felt that, despite his great effort, he could no longer help his team, that he could not inspire the players, who might need “to hear another voice“, as he characteristically conveyed to the strong man, Giorgos Spanosas well as the technical director, Giannis Angelopoulosbeing essentially led to resignation.

“If I continue I will have it heavy on my conscience that I didn’t leave at the right time. I will always be here, for whatever you want“, he emphasized, among other things, to the people of the group. An example of how much he has become attached to and loved the club, relations with which of course remain more than excellent.

Indeed, in this context, he didn’t even bring the issue of compensation to the table although there was a relevant clause in his contract. A man, moreover, who last summer renewed your collaboration with Atromitos – in whose ranks he is held in enormous esteem – with a large reduction in his earnings.
