Matthäus and a ridiculous renounce to conduce Racing by SMS (Kicker)

Finally, Lotthar Matthäus decided surprisingly not to fly to Buenos Aires and renounced to conduce Racing Club of Avellaneda, and have done it through the SMS, repeating this action performed three years ago with the Atlético Paranaense of Brazil.

The vicepresident of Racing Club, Pablo Podestá, confirmed the information after a long time with no explanations to the press. He has accepted that on the last hours, the directives “has started to think about the possibility of Matthäus quitting, because his e-mails have changed a lot”. Podestá have also said that the Matthäus’s manager himself was going to quit

The measure was qualified as “ridiculous” by the media of the Argentinean press, informing profusely since the early hours of Wednesday, when the agent who participated in the operation, the ex footballist Juan Cobián, as well as the representative of Matthäus, Sascha Empacher, confirmed that the coach sent both a message via SMS desisting to conduce Racing after having seen through Internet the second consecutive match of the team and at few hours to travel to Buenos Aires as his arrival was expected via Lufthansa, for 8 p.m. and would be introduced on Thursday at the hotel in which the team uses to concentrate and he would debute next Saturday at home vs Atlético Tucumán for the twelve’s appointment of the Aperture Contest.

“It is ridiculous. We are all disillusioned because we did not expect such a response. On Racing side all conditions requested by Matthäus have been complied but last night we received his negative by SMS”, confirmed Cobián, meanwhile the club’ directives are looking for an explanation and also for a new coach for the team that did not win a single match in the eleven appointments disputed up to the moment (more of the middle of the championship).

Sascha Empacher, Matthäus representative, could not get away from his astonishment and declared that Racing “made all what was to be performed in the World to bring him therefore he cannot understand. At least, it was better to decide it now than to abandon the team a few weeks after his arrival”.

Cobián informed that Matthäus explained “personal reasons” to decide at the last moment not to travel to Argentina in spite that regarding his young wife, she had already received some offer to work on behalf of the TV animator Marcelo Tinelli.

Last night, Racing lost again, in this case by 1-0 vs Newells Old Boys of Rosario, and is in the last positions in the list. Maybe this could be the main reason but nobody knows it because up to the moment everything is deception and not too much information. The real truth is that Matthäus will not conduce Racing, via sms.
