On Thursday IFK Gothenburg fired their 35-year-old coach Poya Asbaghi. This after the team played 13 matches in a row without winning at the Allsvenskan. Asbaghi’s assistant coach and close friend, Ferran Sibila, 32, has previously made clear that if Asbaghi ​​leaves, so will he.

After IFK Gothenburg’s announcement to fire Asbaghi, Sibila had time to think. Should I stay or not? Now, on Friday afternoon, it is clear that Sibilia will stay at the club. A decision that was not easy to make according to himself.

– There are many emotions, it feels strange and it is not something that I decided with joy, I must be honest when saying it, he tells Sportbladet.

Sibila, who comes from Barcelona, ​​says she has very strong feelings for IFK Gothenburg.

– I feel great support from everyone at the club, especially from the players and managers, who would like to keep me. That made the decision to stay even easier, he tells IFK Gothenburg’s website.

Until further notice, Ferran Sibila will manage IFK Gothenburg together with Alf Westerberg until there is a new manager at the club.

Sibila works for the Spanish company Soccer Services. The company has an agreement with IFK Gothenburg until 2021. The Spaniard does not know what will happen next.

The 32-year-old tells Sportbladet that he is not involved in any details about the hiring of the new coach.
