Cobe: Pellegrini s statement is not unreasonable, but a requirement for professionalism and seriousness
Recently, in "The Herrera Program of Cobet Radio", commentators focused on the statement of Betis coach Pellegrini's future.
Pellegrini hopes the club will clarify his future as soon as possible. In response, host Carlos Herrera expressed that she believes Pellegrini will continue to coach, but the premise is that the club must clarify the actual goals of the project.
Herrera emphasized: "I think Pellegrini needs the club to tell him what Betis' real goal is, whether to enter European events every year or compete in European arenas." He believes that there is ambiguity in Betis' current planning. In the
program, guests Bruno, Alejandro and Pilar Garcia also participated in the discussion. Bruno called Pellegrini "probably the best coach in Betis' history", while Herrera added: "He may be, along with Lorenzo Serra Ferrer, one of Betis' best coaches."
Pellegrini has coached at Betis for six years, which is very rare in modern Spanish football, especially for a club with European ambitions. During this period, the team has achieved remarkable achievements, such as winning the Copa del Rey in 2022 and qualifying for European competitions. However, the analysis of Herrera Program points out that the project seems to have reached a turning point, and the existing bottleneck can only be broken through through in-depth reflection and clear decision-making.
Pellegrini publicly demanded that the future be clear not on a whim, but out of strategic needs. This coach, known for his long-term planning, needs to know what resources he will have and what real expectations are. Is it enough to enter European events every year, or is Betis hoping to go a step further in the European arena? Bruno pointed out that the former may be achieved, but the latter requires more capital investment.
Herrera bluntly pointed out the core of the problem: "Investing must be made." This investment includes not only investment in the player transfer market, but also infrastructure construction. Bruno mentioned Betis's modernization issue at home, believing that this is the key to increasing revenue. The transformation of the
stadium is not only related to the economy, but also to the long-term development of the club. Herrera believes that without a solid economic foundation, it is impossible to compete in the European arena. Therefore, the club must first invest in infrastructure and then consider strengthening the team's strength.
Pellegrini has proved his worth, and now what he needs is a clear blueprint for the project. Herrera concluded that Pellegrini’s request was not unreasonable, but a requirement for professionalism and seriousness. Ultimately, the decision is in the hands of the club's senior management, and their choices will determine the direction of Betis' development in the next few years.
