At 7:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 6, La Liga club Granada officially announced that head coach Roberto Moreello was officially dismissed. In this regard, Morello also became the eighth manager to be dismissed in La Liga this season. In the early hours of the morning, Granada lost 3-1 to Valencia and still did not win in 9 games in 2022.
Granada is a La Liga club with a Chinese background that set the club's best record in the Europa League last season. However, this season, when Morello, 44, took over, the club was completely reduced to a relegation team. After the start of La Liga, Granada did not win their first victory of the season until the eighth round, after a 4-0 defeat to promoted Ma Vallecano.
Despite a poor start, the club's directors did not fire him. The club's trust seems to be paying off at the end of 2021. In the last game of 2021, Granada also won 2-1 at home to Atletico Madrid to win two consecutive games, and for a time saw the hope of a league reversal.
However, entering 2022, Granada has begun a long downturn. Although there was a 1-1 draw with Barca, it was only a 1-0 defeat at the Bernabeu. But in many competitions, Granada's achievements have been difficult to satisfy fans. In the end, four hours after losing 3-1 to Valencia in the early hours of the morning, Morello was officially fired at the age of 44.
In this regard, Morello ended his coaching in Granada with 5 wins, 10 draws and 12 defeats, just 3 points ahead of the relegation zone, and the longest consecutive winless record reached 9 games. The club thanked Morello and wished him all the best for the future, while saying that the team would be next played by B coach Torrecilia as the firefighting figure. Morelo's dismissal statement was very brief, and it was clear that the patience of the club's top brass had reached its limit.
Speaking of Roberto Morello, I don't know if Spanish fans have memories, in fact, he has also picked up the matador's national team coaching whip. In March 2019, Enrique temporarily left the Spanish national team due to family reasons, and it was Morello, the assistant coach of the team at the time, who took over. As a result, 5 months later, Enrique returned to the national team, while Morelo was reluctant to hand over the coaching whip. In the end, the 2 broke up and Moreello was excluded from the Spanish coaching team.
Judging from his past coaching experience, Morello has been questioned about both emotional intelligence and (coaching) IQ. In the Spaniards, he refused to return the seal and openly broke up with Enrique, an act that would be blamed wherever it was. Judging from the results of coaching the club, it is difficult to convince others. In fact, Granada is not the first time he has been dismissed from the club, and Monaco has also fired him.
As the so-called same name is different, 44-year-old Robert Moreello lost in the early morning and was sacked, but 47-year-old Espanyol coach Vicente Moreello won this round. Previously, it was reported that Wu Lei's head coach Moreello was also on the verge of being dismissed, after all, the Spaniard won a game (penalty) in the Copa del Rey in 2022, and did not win 8 games before this round. After the 2-0 win over Getafe in this round, it is believed that Vicente Moreello's position will be more stable.
