The defeat against Atlético Madrid (5-0) was therefore one too many for the leaders of Real Valladolid. This Sunday, the club posted a press release on social networks informing of the dismissal of Paulo Pezzolano. “The paths of Real Valladolid and Paulo Pezzolano are parting ways,” we can read in the document. The Uruguayan coach will not stay at Pucela after 70 official matches spread over three seasons, during which he achieved promotion last year. The Club thanks Pezzolano for his performance as Blanquivioleta, while wishing him good luck in his new personal and professional stage. » The staff of the club based in the north-west of Spain used the only valid lever to hope for a clear recovery in results. Indeed, the teammates of former Nantes player Eray Cömert have not won since October 18, it was against Alaves (2-3). For the rest, the Blanquivioleta have only two victories for three draws and ten defeats and are bottom of La Liga.
The departure of the owner requested
Paulo Pezzolano was, however, a man rather appreciated by the supporters. Arriving a year and a half ago from Cruzeiro in Brazil in April 2023, the technician was unable to raise the bar for Real Valladolid and avoid relegation at the end of the 2022-2023 financial year. On the other hand, he managed to immediately bring it up the following season, enough to hope for the continuation of a great story, until this Saturday evening at home after a debacle against Antoine Griezmann's Colchoneros. For the moment, no name is circulating in the press to succeed Paulo Pezzolano. However, the appointment of a new coach is unlikely to appease the wrath of supporters who are primarily angry with the owner, Ronaldo, the Brazilian star. The former player had brought Pezzolano from his former club and now he is the one being asked to leave the ship by Real Valladolid fans. As reported by L'Équipe, a banner reading “Ronaldo is coming home” was displayed before and during the match against Atlético Madrid.
