Eder Sarabia, the coach of La Liga team Elche, has announced his resignation to take a break from football. This decision follows Elche securing a spot in La Liga for the upcoming season with a 1-1 draw against Girona. Sarabia expressed gratitude towards the club for the successful two years, including promotion from the second division and maintaining their top-flight status.
Sarabia mentioned at a press conference that the coaching profession demands significant personal sacrifices, leading him to opt for a break. He emphasized the importance of taking time off to prepare, organize, and address other essential aspects of life outside coaching. The recent La Liga season concluded with Mallorca and Girona facing relegation, while Celta and Getafe secured European spots for the next season.
The nail-biting end to the season saw Getafe claim a seventh-place finish, ensuring participation in the upcoming Conference League. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo secured sixth place with a victory over Sevilla. Despite Valencia’s 3-1 win against Barcelona, they fell short of a European spot. The season also marked Robert Lewandowski’s final appearance for Barcelona, where he scored a goal.
