The relationship between coach Pedro Sarmiento and the Once Caldas fans is broken and it is no longer simply a crisis of results.
Apparently, his recent statements have upset the fans of the ‘Blanco-Blanco’ and the claims persecute him. In social networks, in fact, they demand his departure.
The worrying thing is that the situation in the Manizales team does not seem to have an easy way out. And amid the complexity, Sarmiento starred in an embarrassing incident in Manizales. This, after his statements after the last game caused a wick in the fans.
In the video of the moment: a hard ‘encounter’ with a fan.

Fight between coach and Once Caldas fan

As seen on security camera video, Sarmiento had a clash with a fan, during the afternoon of last Sunday, after the DT assured in a press conference that if it is his turn to go downhill “he will go”.
The strong ‘encounter’ occurred in the La Estrella neighborhood, in Manizales. And in the last hours, both the fan and the coach spoke out about what happened.
“I found myself doing some work errands and on the other side of the block Professor Sarmiento came down with (Gustavo) Chaverra, the physical trainer. I told him that he had to respect the fans, the city and the team where he is, and that what he had said was not correct. He told me: ‘you decontextualized everything because that’s not how it was’. I told him that he was disrespecting an American champion and that he should not forget where he was standing,” the fan told ‘Las Voces del Fútbol’.
After a word exchange, according to the fan, the Antioquia coach would have been upset by the claims and crossed the street. “He told me: ‘I have the ones we know very well on and I’ll show you whenever you want’… He crosses the street and goes with the intention, I don’t know if to hit me or to continue the discussion, and he is very upset as he responds in the interviews. He goes to raise his hand, I defend myself and he grabs my hands“.
He continued saying: “He tells me: ‘huev…, you don’t know who you’re talking to and if I have to reach out to you or show you who I am, I’m going to do it,’ then Professor Chaverra interferes and tries to push him away, then Professor Hernán Darío Herrera arrives. He tells Chaverra that he is taking him away because he is in a rage. It is a big lie that he was attacked or chased away. “

Pedro Sarmiento, for his part, expressed in dialogue with ‘RCN Radio’: ‘In the midst of a fever I know that I expressed myself in a not very good way. That is why I apologize to the fans for the lightness in words that did not come from my heart. I have a commitment to the club and I came to this city to support a project and we hope that we can give it the joy that the fans are waiting for”.
