Sacking of coaching is no new thing in football as they are always at the receiving end of the hammer. Both the good and bad moments are heaped on the manager. The dressing room is not in order, the manager is responsible. The players are not playing to coach instruction, the manager will be questioned. Such is the risk involved in this game. Most amazing thing about this whole episode culminates in clubs sacrificing a coach for a player at the club.

Just as we are still celebrating the new season across Europe with the La Liga as usual coming a bit behind her premier league counterpart, the news of Valencia sacking coach Marcelino is a big surprise to me. Was Marcelino diagnosed of any ailment to guarantee that. I mean going by the results of his 3 matches so far for the new season. The coach has won a match against Real Mallorca 2:0, lost to Celta Vigo and drew Real Sociedad at home before the international break.

The former Seville and Villarreal coach who arrived the club in 2017 spent two year finishing on the fourth position which granted them passage to UEFA champions league football. In addition to that, h gave them their first trophy in 11 years when he lifted the Spanish Copa del Rey.

What many fans will be asking at the moment will be what offence did Marcelino commit for this surprising development. Even though there are rumor of war between the sports director, Mateu Alemany, staff and the club owner Peter Lim, can this be the reason why Marcelino was axed Well, as usual, the club took to their web page to wished him well which is no big surprise. It's an old tradition.

Valencia will on Tuesday night face Chelsea in there first group opening matches of the champions league and his is a good advantage for Chelsea under their young coach Frank Lampard. She will go into their match after taking Wolves away on Saturday afternoon in one of the premier league clashes. I’m sure Lampard is going to bank of the unsettled Valencia team at the moment to try and pull a string.

It’s is quit unfortunate that Marcelino had to go in this form. In no distance time, coaches who are not getting results will start to follow same path.
