Valencia extend coach Santo’s contract
Madrid: Spanish football club Valencia has announced it had extended the contract of coach Nuno Espiritu Santo until the end of June 2018.
Espiritu Santo’s new contract Monday comes as a reward for his first five months in charge which has seen him take the club to fifth place in the Primera Liga after last week ending Real Madrid’s run of 22 straight wins, as per reports.
The Portuguese coach was signed from Rio Ave over the summer and had originally agreed a one-year deal with the club, which was due to end at the end of June.
“I am very happy and aware of the responsibility that we have at the club and I am honored to coach Valencia. It was not hard at all for me to decide to accept the new contract,” said Espiritu Santo.
“It was a normal conversation and the fact we have agreed three years is what is good for all of us. We had spoken of a project, of the work and the way we want the team to grow and it was a common desire for all of us as three years allows you to have continuity,” he told the Valencia website.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
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.
