La Liga
Former Sevilla coach Quique Sánchez Flores has revealed in a recent interview that the departure of Marcos Acuña from the Andalusian club was largely due to the discomfort felt by the Argentine full-back in the team during the last few months. Sánchez Flores, who led Sevilla in the second half of last season, mentioned that Acuña was no longer happy at the Sánchez Pizjuán and that his stay at the club had lasted longer than it should have.
As reported by MundoDeportivo, the Madrid-born coach highlighted that Acuña's situation deteriorated after rejecting an offer from Aston Villa, which had been presented by the former sports director of Sevilla, Monchi. From that point on, tensions between the player and the board intensified, ultimately determining the course of his departure.
Broken Relationship with the Sevillian Board
"It was evident that he needed a change of scenery," commented Sánchez Flores, who spared no praise for Acuña, describing him as the best left-back he has coached in his career. Although Sánchez Flores believes that Acuña could have continued in one of the more competitive leagues in Europe, he understands his decision to return to Argentina to play for River Plate, emphasizing that it was a choice motivated by the desire to reunite with his homeland.
The coach concluded by affirming that, if injuries allow it, Acuña will continue to demonstrate his worth on any field he plays on, given that he is a tremendous player and above all, an excellent professional. The Argentine has not commented personally, but it is clear that the relationship with the board of Sevilla broke down several months ago.
