A Spanish youth coach is sacked after his team
wins 25-0 15 Jun Many Spanish youth clubs are said to stop counting
once the scoreline reaches double digits The coach of a Spanish youth team has been
sacked after a 25-0 win - because the club's
management decided the margin of victory
went against the spirit of the game. After defeating fellow Valencia side Benicalap C on 3
June, Serranos B's under-11 manager was removed
from his position. "We believe in encouraging respect for your
opponents. After the result, we decided that the
manager should leave," Pablo Alcaide, who helps run
the side, told El Pais. However, the Spanish newspaper also published
comments from the manager's lawyer, who insisted
his client had not pushed players to score as many as
they could. The manager instead instructed his side "to pressure
only in their own half" in the eight-a-side game, but
Benicalap C "continued to attack and left spaces in
behind", the lawyer said. The game was Benicalap C's final match of the season.
They finished bottom of the league with zero points
and 247 goals conceded from their 30 matches. El Pais reports that such one-sided scores are not
infrequent in Spanish youth football, but many clubs
stop counting once they have scored more than 10
goals. The English FA's latest guidance to youth coaches,
published in 2012, is designed to "challenge the win-
at-all-costs mentality that is stifling development and
enjoyment for young people".
