A man’s heart can only stand so much. His wife died of cancer. He lost his son in an automobile accident. He recently lost his father during another traffic accident. He was reluctantly fired from Sporting after a subpar season and later saw the team he built be relegated. And now, on the cusp of a new adventure, hours away from being introduced in a press conference as the new coach of Villarreal, he gets called up for another job. To watch and guide us from above.
With tears in my eyes, I say Rest in Peace Manolo.
