Coach Platiní Sánchez Leaves Door Open for Exit Ahead of Crucial Derby

Erwin ‘Platiní’ Sánchez has left his position as head coach of Blooming in suspense following a 1-1 draw against Real Oruro. The coach admitted his future with the club is uncertain, speaking at a press conference just days before the significant Santa Cruz derby against Oriente Petrolero.

The draw left a bitter taste for the 'celeste' team, as they failed to secure three points at home and lost ground in their pursuit of objectives. The team must now quickly shift focus to their upcoming match against their traditional rival.

I don't like making excuses when things aren't going well, and we have to face the music in good times and bad.

Sánchez dismissed injuries and expulsions as excuses, stating that both he and his players must take responsibility for the team's performance. "I don't like making excuses when things aren't going well, and we have to face the music in good times and bad," he said.

He acknowledged that injuries and expulsions have impacted the squad since his arrival, but stressed that the team continues to work towards improving their situation. "Once again, we dropped two points that could be important for our goals," the coach stated.

Regarding the possibility of leaving his post, Sánchez was direct about his uncertainty regarding the management's decision. "I don't know if my continuity is at risk. We work 100% with the players, but this is football: it's about results. You have to win, and I don't know if I'll be here tomorrow; I'll wake up and see what's decided," he commented.

The coach also indicated he would have a conversation with his players and those who brought him back to football. "I'm going to talk thoroughly with the players and the people who invited me back to football. I'm not one to leave things unfinished," he expressed. Sánchez made it clear he wants to fulfill his commitment but recognized that if some are unhappy with his work, the situation must be analyzed. "I entered through one door and want to leave through the same one. If people aren't happy with what's being done, you can't please everyone," he stated.

Meanwhile, Blooming has little time to resolve its issues. The derby against Oriente Petrolero looms as a decisive test for the team and, potentially, for Sánchez himself, whose future remains uncertain after the draw.
