With 12% success rate, Lucho responds about leaving Athletico
Lucho González does not think about leaving his position as coach of the Athletico. This was what the Argentine commander made clear after the 2-1 defeat to São Paulo, another with a late goal conceded.
“In my head, that’s not the case. Of course, it’s a start that I didn’t imagine. Defeats always hurt and particularly, it hurts me a lot because of how the group commits itself and works on a daily basis”, said the coach.
Lucho has recorded seven defeats in eight games (see the list at the end of the text) since he took over, which represents a 12.5% success rate. There are 16 goals conceded and eight scored. In other words, the red and black team has an average of conceding two goals (and scoring one) per match.
