So it had to happen, interest in Carlos from Cultural leonesa to be their new manager. Effectively a third division club in Spain, segunda B! Going to be a bit of a difference for him after the Elland Road crowds.
It will test his desire to be a manager or lead coach rather than more of a team player in a bigger club.
Having said that, as the club is still part of the Aspire group, it could be part of a development programme for him and after his experience, he could move onto a bigger club, like us!
I'd really like him to stay, he is continuity linking Bielsa to the past and future of the club and probably one of the few of Bielsas gang now likely to stay when he goes. I think he is important part of the youth into the first team development plan for the next few years.
Another big test for Radz and Orta. He will be a big loss.

I hope it’s just lazy journalism, he will be better learning off bielsa for another season then hopefully slot straight in when bielsa retires.

Hopefully he will stay, a lot of number 2s try going into management, and it dosent work, why because there number 2s, Pep Clotet to Oxford springs to mind, McClaren good no 2, awful manager, Brian Kidd another.

Richie, I really agree with you. I worked for a massive U. K. company where we had a superb one and two both excellent in their roles but wouldn’t have been able to do each other’s as well as their own. The number two was very well rewarded. Massively important for clubs to have people like Carlos.
Apart from that, he is another Valencia boy, from a small village outside of the city.

Im sure he would rather carry on learning from MB for another year first.

Spanish, Corberan has already been a head coach, albeit only in the Cypriot First Division, and he left that post to come to us as U23 coach. I would put managing a 7th place Cypriot team either on a par with, or above, managing Cultural Leonesa in the Spanish 3rd. With his role here having since been upgraded, and with the possibility of replacing Bielsa in due course, I'd be rather surprised if he accepted to role with Cultural. Given how that club failed to provide opportunities for Ideguchi and (less surprisingly) Bouy, I really hope that he doesn't go there. Given our supposed links with them, they are being less than helpful.
