Camacho Ouits As Real Madrid Coach

2008-01-08来源:
  卡马乔辞职了。在周一他成为了西班牙顶级球队皇家马德里队自03年6月以来第四位辞职的教练,原因是无法使一支拥有齐达内、费戈、罗纳尔多、贝克汉姆、欧文、劳尔等众多国际巨星的队伍,获得和这些球员影响力相吻合的成绩。

Jose Antonio Camacho resigned as Real Madrid coach on Monday four months after taking up the post saying that he felt incapable of getting the most out of the club's expensively assembled squad.

"I believe that the team has not lived up to expectations and that as long as I remain as coach it will not improve and that's why I've decided to step down," Camacho told a news conference at the Bernabeu. "I've got my own way of behaving and of coaching. I did not see it reflected on the pitch and I could not see the situation improving. Club president Florentino Perez said that Camacho's former assistant Mariano Garcia Remon would take charge of the first team. Garcia Remon, an ex-Real Madrid goalkeeper who won six league titles during his 14 seasons at the club between 1971 and 1985, is a former boss of Sporting Gijon and Numancia. He will be Real's fourth coach since June 2003. Garcia Remon stressed that he had accepted the job only after Camacho had urged him to do so. "It may seem odd, but for me today is a very sad day," he said. "It is a day that sees that the end of the work of someone who has done a very good job that just wasn't reflected on the pitch. Garcia Remon is very much in the mould of Vicente del Bosque, the man who led Real to two European Cups and two league titles in four seasons before being discarded at the end of the 2002-2003 season. Camacho was appointed as coach in place of Carlos Queiroz after the failure of Real - with players like Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham - to win a trophy last season. Real ended last season with a worst-ever five-match losing streak. This season they successfully got through the qualifying round of the Champions League, then scraped two disappointing 1-0 wins in their first two Primera Liga games. They suffered a stinging 3-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday and then turned in an appalling performance to lose 1-0 at Espanyol on Saturday. Camacho offered his resignation to Perez following the defeat at Espanyol, saying he felt incapable of carrying on because he did not enjoy the support of the players, a number of whom are reported to have resented his disciplinarian approach.
