Comment by director Nacho Fernandez
“To all Ryukyu supporters
After difficult days for everyone, I announce today that I am leaving the club.
I leave a club that will remain forever in my heart after not achieving the goals I expected. The result of this team is very heartbreaking, but I would like to thank everyone once again for the kindness, consideration, support and special treatment I have received since the day I arrived.
I have met so many wonderful people in this club.
Even though the team is in a very difficult situation, I could feel the love and appreciation from everyone.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to President Kurabayashi and all the staff who work in the club. (GM, empowerment department, medical staff, managers, employees, all those who work at the facilities of the study … etc)
I am grateful that you have responded to my strict requests in a professional way, both as a person and as a worker.
I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to the players for their exemplary attitudes, personalities and daily efforts.
He never gave up on dedication, hard work and cooperation even in difficult situations. They have always done their best.
Even in this difficult situation, I don’t want to hide the work of each of you who worked hard every day to make this club great.
Finally, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to all those who have welcomed me in the city and to all those who have poured out so much unconditional love.
I will never forget the messages of support and hospitality that I have received from everyone since the day I arrived, even if it was a difficult league game.
I want to say goodbye to many people at the stadium.
I am confident that football will bring great joy to this club and to all its wonderful fans. Because you are the best fans and supporters who deserve it.
A thousand thanks. ¡Vamos Ryukyu! “

“Nacho was named in a very difficult situation with 15 points scored / 24 goals scored / 42 goals conceded at the end of the 22nd round.
With only 20 games left and the handicap of being in charge outside Spain for the first time, he clearly presented what was needed to get out of the predicament from first word to the team, and then practice every day. of the field, I could see the players fight with all their might to earn as many points as possible in all the official matches and desperately praise and encourage the players. His intensely passionate coach sometimes caused some misunderstandings due to the cultural differences between Japan and Europe, but the coach, players, coach and other staff members came forward and corrected each other, helping the team to grow steadily. Thank you.
When they were about to take a step forward, even though there were unforeseen injuries and multiple withdrawals from corona infection, they calmly decided to change the membership composition, and the team calmed down without showing the slightest sign of anxiety. you show that I can fight on an equal footing with any opponent.
I am confident that the memory of Nacho’s every single professional action will be a valuable asset to the club, which will resume next season.
As a club, we will continue to support you as much as possible until the weekend Oita match and the final match at Tapista, so don’t worry.
It was a short period of four and a half months, but thank you very much.
Thanks Nacho! 」
