Spain coach Luis Aragones said he wouldn’t resign despite his team’s humiliating 3-2 defeat to Northern Ireland .
“I carry the biggest responsibility for what happened in the match, but I’m not going to tender my resignation to anyone,” Aragones was quoted as saying by sports daily Marca on Thursday.”
However the strong backlash to Spain’s defeat and the subsequent media campaign have resulted in him tendering his resignation anyway.However the said resignation was then turned down by the Spanish Football Federation .”He has asked for two more days to take a final decision,” federation spokesman Jorge Carretero said. “He has our total confidence and our support. He has the last word.”
So two more days to go for the finally final decision !
One comment on “Aragones has two days to decide”
Interesting that one would even consider getting rid of Aragones. As the commentators in the highlight clip below state, the N.Ireland loss was the second of his tenure, the other being to France in the World Cup. Not bad, really. Wait till he loses a few more to minnows before calling for his head.
