😱 Democracy in action: in Argentina, manager sacked after players' vote

1
In the era of SAF, where club owners determine "who comes and who goes" on the team, there is still room for "democratic principles" in football.

In Argentina, for example, a coach was dismissed after a vote by the players on the squad. The information comes from Diario Olé.

🧐 What happened?

Last Wednesday (13), after just seven games, coach Aldo Pedro Duscher surprised everyone by resigning from his position at Quilmes, a club located in Buenos Aires.

However, on Thursday (14), less than 24 hours after his unusual departure, the 46-year-old coach returned to lead training as if nothing had happened.

The problem was that a pair of interim coaches were already running the training session at the club, also known as "Cervecero".

Aldo Duscher, former coach of Paraguay's U-20 national team, insisted he would lead the training and asked for a bib to take part in the activity.

However, someone informed Mateo Magadán, president of Quilmes, about what was happening.

And when the president arrived at the training ground, confusion ensued, with Magadán and Duscher almost coming to blows.

After tempers cooled, the coach claimed the squad supported him, but the president didn't believe it. So, a vote was held!

🗳️ How did it happen?

The "plebiscite" consisted of the question of whether there was a desire to keep Aldo Duscher as coach or not.

Divided into pairs, each player made their decision clear, written on a piece of paper.

The "final count" showed there were more negative votes (in favor of his departure) than positive, resulting in the definitive exit of Aldo Duscher.

Quilmes is in 11th place in Group A, in the second division of the Argentine Championship, with 30 points after 24 games.
