Waiting to meet Sporting’s new coach, The sports management works on the configuration of the squad for the next season and you already have decisions made, as well as communicated to the players themselves who end their contract on June 30. In that sense, there is a circumstance that is at least singular and anecdotal since three of the four captains of the recently completed course have the door open for their departure from the club.
Two of them are already certain that they will not continue since there is no intention to renew their contract; These are Carlos Izquierdoz, first captain, and Gio Zarfino. The third is Uros Djurdjevic, who has no more duties on his vacation than studying the offer made by Orlegi Sports to transfer him to Atlas, another of the clubs in the Mexican group; Djuka has that option as well as the possibility of a transfer to any other entity that can send you an interesting offer.
The fourth captain was Cote, who earned the renewal of his contract with his performance on the field. The full-back from Gijón, chosen by fans as Sporting’s best player of the season, was the fourth most used player by Miguel Ángel Ramírezwith magnificent numbers for a defender at an attacking level: four goals and seven assists.
For his part, Djuka did not have the prominence of previous seasons. In its sixth red and white campaignthe Montenegrin international has played 40 games – between league and cup – and has scored four goals. Is his lowest number of goals since arriving in Gijón in 2018.
Carlos Izquierdoz has been the 12th player in minutes. He arrived at Sporting two seasons ago, he was about to leave last summer, but ended up playing 24 games –eleven less than last season— in which he scored a goal; His greatest role was at the locker room level. Now it seems that Lanús could be his destiny, in a back to his beginnings as a professional footballer. Santos Laguna and Boca Júniors were the other clubs in his career.
Finally, Gio Zarfino was the squad player with fewer minutes. His serious injury to the patellar tendon in his right leg, which kept him out for more than a year, was to blame. He has only been able to play three games. The Uruguayan arrived in the summer of 2022, signed for two seasons that are ending now and Sporting has offered him the possibility of continuing to recover in Dizziness of the physical problems that he continues to suffer.
