Godoy Cruz fires coach Heinze
Buenos Aires: Argentinian soccer club Godoy Cruz de Mendoza have sacked coach Gabriel Heinze due to a string of bad results in the local league.
The two-time World Cup player and Olympic gold medalist in Athens 2004 had an abrupt end to his brief first attempt at coaching with the Mendoza-based team on Sunday, in the central-west region of Cuyo, as per reports.
On Friday, Godoy Cruz lost against Olimpo 0-1 in the 26th week of the First Division championship. Currently the team are in 25th place out of 30 teams with 25 points.
Heinze, who previously played defence for Real Madrid (Spain), Manchester United (England) and Roma (Italy), coached the Argentinian side for ten matches. The team won two, drew two and lost six.
Fans did not support the 37-year-old former player because he was not authorized to set foot on the pitches or in the dugouts as he had not completed the required training from the Argentine Coaches Association.
The club’s president Jose Mansur announced that Heinze would be temporarily replaced by Daniel Oldra who has coached the team various times.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
