Those of Eder Sarabia visit a bottom club who is without a coach; His sports director will sit on the bench
Due to injury, Andorra will not be able to count on the protagonist of the great victory last day against Lugo, Bundu
UD Ibiza receives FC Andorra at the Palladium Can Misses to face a match without a technical director on the bench, after the dismissal of Juan Antonio Anquela, and in the uncertainty of whether he will be able to achieve permanence in the silver category. Eder Sarabia, despite not knowing who they are going to face, is confident.
The team chaired by Amadeo Salvo, last in the standings with 12 points and five places out of the permanence, He needs a boost to get him out of this not very exciting situation for the fans.For now, this Monday it will be Carlos Sánchez, technical secretary of the Ibizan team, who will take charge of the sky-blue squad on matchday seventeen of La Liga SmartBank.
The sports management headed by Miguel Ángel Gómez is still looking for a replacement for Juan Antonio Anquela, so Sánchez will be in charge of the clash against Andorra, who arrives on the island with their sights set on the play-offs.
It will be necessary to see if the technical secretary introduces changes that could give the sky-blue victory or follows a line of continuity with Anquela, who during his brief stint at the club complained about the team’s lack of rhythm and the need to raise the level to compete in a tough league like the Second Division.
FC Andorra will seek to extend the negative streak of UD Ibiza. Eder Sarabia’s men visit the last classified that has not won a SmartBank League game since October 2 and accumulates eight games without adding the three points.
The Principality team aims to achieve its third victory as a visitor in propitious terrain, although they do not want the saying of ‘new coach, sure victory’ to come true with the dismissal of Juan Antonio Anquela. Carlos Sánchez is the interim coach of the Ibizans.
FC Andorra arrives at the match after beating CD Lugo 4-0 in a great collective match and at an individual level by Mustapha Bundu and Sinan Bakis, big scorers. The injured Mustapha Bundu will not play, who will be away from the pitch for a month and is still out of ‘Petxa’ and with goalkeeper Raúl Lizoain in doubt.
The two teams know each other perfectly since they met in the First RFEF. In fact, in the 2020-2021 season they fought to be promoted to the Second Division. In April 2021, Ibiza, led by Juan Carlos Carcedo, beat FC Andorra with two goals from ‘Davo’. On the Andorran side, the Mallorcan Rubén Bover scored.
The Basque coach Eder Sarabia will have a difficult ballot since Carlos Sánchez’s ‘new’ Ibiza is unknown if he will continue Anquela or offer many tactical novelties.
