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

In the era of SAF, where club owners decide “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 in the squad. The information comes from Diário Olé.

🧐 What happened?

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

However, on Thursday (14th), less than 24 hours after his unexpected 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 the “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, chaos ensued, with Magadán and Duscher almost coming to blows.

After tempers cooled, the coach claimed that 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 by writing it 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 matches.

Aldo Duscher made his debut in charge of the “Decano” on July 5th, in the Copa Argentina elimination to San Lorenzo, on penalties.

After that, he drew with All Boys (0 x 0), beat Arsenal (3 x 1), lost to Colegiales (1 x 0) and Dep Madryn (3 x 1), and triumphed over Atlanta (2 x 1).

In his last match coaching Quilmes, a defeat to Racing Córdoba by 2 x 0, on August 11th (Monday).
