The Mexican coach Javier Aguirre said this Monday that the American owners of Mallorca “do not want to suffer so much” next season in the Spanish League and assured that they are already “working” on the planning of the squad and the continuity of Kosovar striker Vedat Muriqi , on loan from Lazio.
Mallorca certified the permanence in the last day by defeating (0-2) Osasuna at the El Sadar stadium.
“We have talked about the future with the president (Andy Kohlberg) and some directors because it is necessary. There has to be some change. The owners do not want to suffer so much in a league with such high demands. Let’s go now, not to invest more, but to choose well to give some spin (to the template)“, explained Aguirre to Movistar +.
WE ARE STAYING UP, SAID WE ARE STAYING UP!

One of the first negotiations undertaken by the board and Aguirre, who will continue to lead the technical direction of Mallorca, is to ensure the continuity of Muriqi, according to the Aztec coach.
“Muriqi fell in very well with the fans and the dressing room. It is big and so rare (it measures 1.94 meters and has been nicknamed “the Pirate”) as charming, sensitive and very kind. I count on him, but it is a matter of dispatches with Lazio (owner of his federative rights), it does not depend on me “, assured Aguirre.
Asked how he had coped the days before the ‘ final’ for staying in Pamplona, he replied: “ I gave it a lot of naturalness. I knew the team was in good shape. I didn’t want to put more pressure on the players. I only asked them to keep a lot at home, to be calm and to lead a normal life, without so much exhibitionism in stories or things that could distract them. And judging by the results. worked“.
In that context, he made public what called “an anecdote” with the president of Mallorca, Andy Kohlberg, in the days before that match.
“We had a meal this week and the sports director (Pablo Ortells) did not attend for personal reasons and we only stayed a couple of hours.
Are you going to believe me, but we didn’t talk about the match at all? That is unthinkable with a Spanish or Mexican president, since he would spend two hours telling me ‘we have to win, eh?; We have to win’. We were very relaxed talking about the immortality of the crab and the truth is that it came quite well, “he said.
OFFICIAL! 😱

Aguirre also recounted under what circumstances he received the call from the Balearic entity at the end of month of March to take over the team, which was in the relegation zone.
“I went to see the Indians (tennis) tournament Wells to see Nadal with Kyrgios at a time when I wasn’t feeling well at all due to a bad departure from my country (I was managing CF Monterrey, which fired him last February), when Mallorca called me. It was good for me for mental health and for returning to the day to day of football . I have older children and with Silvia (his wife) we only need two suitcases, and I told him let’s go to that city to work
