Eder Sarabia has communicated his decision to "not continue" as Elche's coach for the upcoming season. This news comes as a surprise, shortly after securing the team's survival in La Liga with a draw at Girona's stadium on the final matchday.
The Basque coach has justified his departure by the need to rest from this "demanding profession" and has assured that, for now, he has no intention of managing any other team. Sarabia has expressed his gratitude to all club members, including the fans, players, and management. He has confirmed that he will continue residing in Elche in the coming months and will closely follow the team's developments.
Visibly emotional, Eder Sarabia recalled what the club has given him during his two years in charge. With him, the team achieved promotion from Segunda to Primera División last season and, this year, the important feat of maintaining their place in the top tier of national football.
“"I will not continue as Elche's coach."
The matchday at the Martínez Valero stadium saw another significant farewell: that of Aleix Febas. The Catalan footballer has also announced that he will not renew his contract with the green-and-white team, ending his tenure at the club once the season concludes. Febas mentioned that he has spoken with the club's management about the possibility of continuing, but he feels the need to seek new professional challenges in his career.
