La Liga manager confirms continuity even in case of relegation – ‘Money doesn’t motivate me’
La Liga manager confirms continuity even in case of relegation – ‘Money doesn’t motivate me’ Levante manager Luis Castro has confirmed that he will remain at the club next season, even if Los Granotas are relegated down to Segunda. As the season enters it’s final quarter, Levante face an uphill battle to escape the drop. Castro arrived in December to replace Julian Calero , the manager who had taken Levante up from Segunda last season.
The Portuguese coach signed a contract until 2027, despite the precarious situation, and has confirmed to Marca that he intends to remain at the club regardless of how the season plays out. “Yes. I don’t need to coach a Champions League team to be happy.
I have the opportunity to do something I love every day and get paid for it. What I would do if I continued coaching: I would still coach at night. It’s true that I want to coach in the First Division; I hope Levante stays up, but I think if I’m in the Second Division and I’m happy with myself, I’ll stay.
Financially, Levante wasn’t even close to being the best option I had. But that’s not what motivates me for the future. ” ‘At first, I thought I wouldn’t come to Levante’ – Castro Castro arrived as something of an unknown in Spain, despite strong work with Dunkerque in France, and a brief spell at Nantes.
He admitted that he wasn’t sure of taking the job at the Ciutat de Valencia either. “My first reaction was that I wasn’t going to come, because I already had another very good offer. Then, the second time I spoke with Pepe Danvila, he explained the future of the club to me and I said yes.
