[Sport]Pablo Machín will not train Chinese Qingdao Huanghai for "personal reasons"

[SougarLord]

Pablo Machín reported this Wednesday in a statement that he will not train Qingdao Huanghai due to "personal reasons", despite the fact that seven days ago, on July 22, the Chinese club made his arrival official on his website. It is rumored that behind this decision there is an offer from Alavés to be the coach in the 2019-2020 season.

 

                                                                    

 

"I want to inform you that I have communicated to the Qingdao club that I will not be able to travel to China for personal reasons and, therefore, I will not be their coach for next season. I thank the club and its fans for the desire and enthusiasm they showed in my person and I wish you the greatest sporting successes. Hopefully in the future our paths will cross again, "Machín said in his statement.

 

In this way, Machín will not live his first sporting experience outside of Spain in China after previously heading to Numancia, Girona, Seville and Espanyol. Machín was to replace his compatriot Juanma Lillo at Qingdao Huanghai, who recently left the club to join the Manchester City coaching staff, led by another Spaniard, Josep Guardiola.

 

Under Lillo's leadership, Qingdao Huanghai was crowned champion of the Chinese second division, China League One last season, thus guaranteeing promotion to the Super League, in which he will compete this season.
