SANT PERE SULA
the Honduran classification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was complicated. Adding just two possible back points at the start of the CONCACAF octagonal puts the road full of thorns for the National selection.
The main culprit is Uruguayan coach Fabián Coit, who has made bad decisions showing little experience and ability. The sins of the Uruguayan strategist in these two years at the helm of the team have been constant, and in a tie it pays dearly. That’s why the fans are shouting for his departure.
1: Little work, wasted time. Coit was hired by FENAFUTH on February 14, 2019. To date he has been at the helm of the Catracha squadron for two years and seven months. However, little work and wasted time do not return. Covid-19 affected everyone, but the Uruguayan, who went to his country due to the pandemic and then due to his mother-in-law’s illness, wasted more than eight months without activities and the process began to lose its compass. .
2: Lack of base equipment. The Bicolor reached the qualifiers without being able to have a consolidated team. something never seen in previous processes. It failed and started badly, without a solid and defined defense. There is no clear game system.
3: The defense, a ship adrift. The Uruguayan did not have time to give solidity to the bottom of the team. Who is Major Figueroa’s teammate in the center, who is the left winger, who is the right ?, All these questions we asked ourselves before the game against Canada, Luckily Nájar appeared on the right flank, but it is not the job of coit. Diego Rodríguez is his discovery, as is Kervin Arriaga. But he did not summon Denil Maldonado, the defender of the present of the future.
4: Bad reading of the matches. Coit in these three octagonal games made bad decisions. It was a good 1-1 draw with Canada; but in the second game against El Salvador he made 9 changes and barely tied 0-0 with a timid approach. He reserved the headlines for the game against the United States. Then with USA he ended up playing well and winning the first half, but he opened the second by making three changes and the team fell to him. He ended up confused and thrashed because he also changed the system twice.
5: Bad results, free fall. The results are the daily bread of coaches, Coit is postponed. Of 26 games in all competitions it adds nine defeats, nine ties and eight triumphs. Accumulates five games without winning. The most memorable defeats were the 7-0 against Brazil in 2019 and not being able to win in friendlies in Nicaragua (1-1), fell to Guatemala (1-2) after the pandemic stopped. In the octagonal he is sixth and for now he is out of the direct places of classification and repechaje. In his Gold Cup participations he disappointed. In the first in 2019 he did not advance to the next round, in the latter he remained in the quarterfinals. The rescuable was third place in the League of Nations.
6: Bad strategy to earn points. The 2019 Gold Cup was a preface to what was approaching for the h when it comes to playing tournaments.
The charrúa technician was incapable of his surpassing the first round after being in last of his group (C); but bad approaches and experiments took their toll.
Planning in this tie collapsed. One point against Canada was not bad, the rival was superior. Against El Salvador he made nine changes in his starting 11 and ended up celebrating a gray 0-0. Already at home he could not with the pressure and the United States thrashed H 4-1.
7: A rookie in the playoffs. The South American coach is billed for inexperience. His first time in a qualifier, he has paid the flat fee with his bad decisions. The fans emphasize the fact of his lack of commitment to everyone’s team. Its start has been the worst of the last three qualifying processes for the World Cup. A task that seems to be uphill.
8: Terrible calls. Every time Coit announced the roster for a match it was a pandora’s box. His constant argument that he would call those who are best was left on wet paper. Prior to the start of the octagonal it was claimed by the calls of players without rhythm, others injured and with low level. The result was as expected: it was not won.
9: The Olympic disaster. There are ways to lose a game. Honduras made the ridiculous at home in the fall 4-1 against USA. The fans live on results. The enraged audience shouted “out of Coit, out of Coit.” A clamor that spread through social media. People no longer believe in the process and are demanding the resignation of the DT. FENAFUTH ratified the strategist yesterday and would only be fired if it fails in October.
10: Relationship with fans and players is broken: Most fans no longer want to see the Uruguayan on the Bicolor front anymore. The bad results have upset the catrachos who see how their team does not lift. There is also frustration within the nursery. The constant rotations, the unexpected calls and the casualties of footballers who should be also baffling in the works.
11: Disqualified Assistant: Miguel Falero does not have enough weight to be assistant of the Selection of Honduras. Falero led the U-23 to the Olympics, but at the Olympics it was a rag of tears. He did not advance from the first round.
