In Espanyol there is a tense calm. In recent days urgent decisions have not arrived. From China, steps are measured prudently, to the despair of the fans. Despite this, this scenario must end with the dismissal of Domingo Catoira, current sports director, in the next few hours.
This morning, the newspaper AS assured that the decision had been made and communicated to the Galician. As La Vanguardia learned, the club has not yet informed Catoira of his dismissal, but it could be made official in the coming days.
In any case, Chen Yansheng, the club’s president and largest shareholder, seems to have decided to replace Catoira, the architect of a team that has not been able to avoid the entity’s second relegation in four years. Among his most controversial decisions are the non-renewal of Diego López and the management of De Tomás’ departure.
In the pool of favorites to succeed him is the name of David Fernández, currently responsible for recruitment for the youth team and the Barça subsidiary and who has all the confidence of Mateu Alemany
