Moreno seeks to break the inertia and transfer his good work in the subsidiary.
Antonio Moreno will be the fifth coach to lead at least one game for Hercules this season after the dismissed Lluís Planagumà, Jesús Muñoz and Vicente Mir, who are joined by José Vegar, the second coach who led the Hercules against Orihuela in the first return. The coach from La Paz has temporarily taken over the bench while the club probes a new coach, although the possibility that he could continue to the end if the victory this afternoon against Llagostera is achieved is also not ruled out by the club.
The Blue and Whites coach is obliged to start better than his predecessors in office, since neither of them achieved victory in their first match. Planagumà, who started the season with many doubts, started off on the wrong foot. He tied in the field of El Prat in a match that Hercules started ahead. The doubts continued after the defeat at home against Villarreal B (1-2).
Finally, patience ran out after harvesting the fourth consecutive defeat against Atlético Levante, which led to the entity’s first crisis. After the dismissal of Planagumà, José Vegar was commissioned to sit on the bench for the matchday five match against Orihuela while the club was looking for a replacement. The transition time could not be worse and Hercules suffered a hard defeat to the Chechu Flores team by 1-3 that wobbled the foundations of Rico Pérez. Jesús Muñoz arrived in the hours after the disaster. He debuted with a new defeat precisely against Llagostera (2-1), the rival this afternoon, although with a better game than seen so far. A week later Hercules thrashed Barcelona B at Rico Pérez, lost in Andorra and returned to thrashing at home against Ebro (3-0). And after winning at Cornellà (0-1), the team fell into an auger, destroying Muñoz’s credibility on matchday 16 after losing to Espanyol B (3-2).
Juan Carlos Ramírez sat Vicente Mir to try to redirect the situation and what he did was make it worse after adding 8 points out of 24 and putting Hercules five points away from the permanent positions. His debut was against Badalona and the team fell 1-2. Quique Hernández was clear that the possibilities of believing in salvation lay in changing the coach as Mir had the whole environment against him and generated a tension difficult to bear.
Alsina, Llagostera coach: «Hercules is a First class club»
«Hercules is a First club, one of the best teams in the category despite its classification. He has great individuals like Benja and many footballers who have competed in Second and even First. Words by Oriol Alsina, Llagostera coach. “The change of coach is a significant disadvantage for us because we do not know how they will play or with which players and that has prevented us from studying the rival as we wanted,” says the coach of the Catalan team. “The Alicante players have very contrasting players such as Ismael Falcón, Bruno Perone, Carlos De Lerma and Jona,” he adds. Llagostera is in a very delicate situation with seven games without knowing victory.
