By his own admission, Paolo Bento slept well on Friday night. And he should have had enough sleep on Saturday after his Chongqing Dangdai Lifan team defeated Tianjin Teda in the Chinese Super League, but Sunday was completely different.
The Portuguese manager was sacked Sunday, the victory proving useless "1965, today, Paulo Bento is no longer the coach of Chongqing Lifan," said Sunday the club. "We thank him for his contribution and wish him all the best for the future."
All the best, Paulo
The former boss of Portugal's national team lasted a little over seven months in Chongqing. But two of them, the last two months, have been on vacation.
The CSL has just returned from an eight week hiatus around the World Cup. Bento now.
Why not do it two months ago and give a new manager time to work with the players?
Chongqing is on the slide. There were six games without a win before Saturday and that included going out of the Chinese FA Cup in Dalian Yifang.
Five of those six games were before the break so he begs Bento was sacked after giving him two months trying to stop him slipping. It may be the CSL
It's the side that has long been linked to Andres Iniesta. We will never achieve this goal, but the reports, the inevitable official denials and then the excuses of President Jiang Lizhang for not delivering the midfielder Barcelona and Spain say a lot.
knows what he's doing when it comes to his other football clubs. Parma has just returned to Serie A after club Phoenix crossed the leagues to join Italy. As for Granada, that's another story.
The second Spanish level has had four directors since the 2018 calendars – Jose Luis Oltra, Pedro Morilla Pineda, Miguel Angel Portugal and Diego Martinez Penas.
More damning Perhaps it was Oltra who replaced the former Arsenal defender and Jiang's good friend, Tony Adams.
Chinese owners who sound changes in the canoe are nothing new. Often, the first dismissal of the season involves a coach hired in December before the season starting in March and then starting in April.
This season was no exception: Ma Lin of Dalian Yifang lasted a little over two After his league opener on March 3, his team lost 8-0 against Shanghai SIPG on his return to China's top league.
Bento is the fifth manager to lose his position since Ma became the first injured Fabio Capello also leaves Jiangsu Suning.
Not to mention that there were seven manager changes before the season. Overall, 10 teams have decided to make a fresh start since the end of the 2017 campaign and three of them have done so more than once.
In a 16-team league that seems a bit too much, especially after two games this week since returning from the break, we still have only 13 games in the 30-game season. The managerial merry-go-round runs at a vertiginous speed.
The departing Bento probably takes his share of responsibility for everything that has happened – he's quickly exhausted in his latest jobs.
[19659002] It lasted barely two months on the Brazilian side of Cruzeiro in 2016 before moving away. This was followed by a seven-month stay at Greek Olympiacos where he was sacked last March with seven points ahead of the team leading the league and still in the Europa League.
None of this was unheard of when Chongqing himself too might have thought twice before diving into the Portuguese rather than halfway through the season.
He leaves with the 12th side and a win away from jumping off the table. Security is not entirely guaranteed, but Guizhou Zhicheng is already five points behind Dalian Yifang, and they need the same number of points to catch up.
Beijing Guoan the goods of the brand of the club store
Whoever enters is on a hiding place for nothing. The transfer window was closed before the end of the season and so they can not refresh the team.
They can only work with the same players as Bento and probably only until November or December when the annual direction falls on the managers. ] At this point, taking a job in the CSL is like the scene of Indiana Jones and the last crusade where Harrison Ford and his entourage are forced to pick up the Holy Grail table – they are almost all of them. Poisoned Chalices
And while the potential riches are unlimited, they often turn into dust in the wind.
There is no sleep like the dead.
