The UDA team played a special match yesterday, Saturday, at 5:00 PM, at the Ibarra football field. The fans did not miss the occasion, as a special celebration had been announced: the farewell of the coach, the analyst, the physical trainer, and four players.
During the farewell, a banner was unfurled with the slogan "Thank you for defending these colors," and many young players surrounded those being honored. Although the match had nothing at stake, UDA wanted to bring joy back to their supporters, and they defeated Zamudio with a 3-1 score.
“"Bitter, perhaps, because I am leaving, because I am quitting, but I needed a rest. But I leave with a sweet taste: very fulfilled, happy, and satisfied. And very happy, because achieving this in my club is priceless. Likewise, I am very grateful. Thanks to the players, the board, the management, the technical staff, and the fans."
The coach has led the first team for five seasons, and under his guidance, the team achieved promotion to the Third Division in the 2023-2024 season, as well as maintaining the category for two consecutive years. He stated that he is ending his journey with a good feeling and expressed great gratitude to the players, management, and fans.
He made a positive assessment of his time in the Third Division, highlighting the team's initial work and evolution. He affirmed that, from now on, he will be just another fan in Ibarra, cheering on the team.
