Celta's board decide to dispense with Unzue LaLiga Will leave at the end of this season

The loss at Villarreal has finally convinced the board at Celta Vigo to dispense with the services of their first-team coach, Juan Carlos Unzue.

He will depart after the last game of the season on May 20, with any hopes of Europa League football next season now evaporated.

Eduardo Berizzo left a year ago, handing Unzue the opportunity of a coaching job at the highest level for the first time.

But Berizzo's shadow has been too long for his successor.

Unzue never connected with the supporters and although it seems that he will surpass the 45 points that Celta finished with last season, it isn't enough.

He signed a contract until June 2019 but with several escape clauses at the end of the first campaign.

Although Unzue hasn't spoken publicly about his intentions, the club does have a clear position, and the task of finding a new coach has already been entrusted to sports director Felipe Minambres.

Apart from the poor results in the last three months, the board never liked how the team were managed from the bench.

Rare opportunities given to Emre Mor was just one of the reasons that they began to distance themselves from Unzue.

The Turkish international, who cost almost 15 million euros last summer, has been devalued in Vigo when the club's intentions were just the opposite for the former Borussia Dortmund player.
