The dream for the National Team evolved into nightmare in Tbilisi. The representative group was defeated on penalties by Georgia and suffered a painful elimination from the Euros in Germany, losing a unrepeatable opportunity to be in a major event after a decade.
Unfortunately, another generation of Greek footballers will see a major tournament on television, an event which, if nothing else, has caused great distress in the ranks of the group. It is characteristic that yesterday (26/03), after the end of the match, the players were locked in the dressing room and crying, they couldn’t believe what happened to “Boris Payhandze”. They realize, of course, what a great opportunity was lost, by an opponent, in fact, clearly inferior in quality, but terribly spirited to reach the greatest moment in its history.
The national team, therefore, experienced one painful exclusion from the Euro and the following day is characterized as difficult and above all critical, as there is always the risk that the steps forward, which have been made in recent years, will be steps backwards in the next period and that everything will fall apart. Great interest, of course, and that’s where the conversation is at the moment, right? what will happen to Gustavo Poget.
The Uruguayan coach’s contract with EPO expires on March 31 and with the current data, it is considered almost unlikely that he will remain on the “blue and white” bench. No one has officially taken a position for the time being, but the way things have developed, with the federation essentially waiting for the outcome of yesterday’s match, to offer him a new contract or not, one understands that the 56-year-old will probably say goodbye.
For the next day, however, if, finally, he leaves Gustavo Pogetat this time various names are heard, but nothing tangible, since the blockade has caused shockas is reasonable, and it will take some time for any developments to be launched.
In the discussions, however, that they already have flare up as to who would be the ideal replacement for the Latin American, the names are the same as those that had “played” last November, when it seemed that the oil in Poget’s candle had been saved after what had happened then and that only one qualification would -dramatically- change the data. What are these names? Fernando Santos, Ivan Jovanovic, Manolo Jimenez, Marinos Ouzounidis and the list is expected to grow…
