hmmm...............Sevilla’s Argentine coach, Eduardo Berizzo has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The club confirmed this in a statement on Wednesday, just hours after Berizzo’s side staged a remarkable comeback against Liverpool in the Champions League.
“Further tests will determine which steps to follow regarding his treatment.
“Sevilla FC wants to show their full support to the coach right now and wishes him a speedy recovery.”
Berizzo, 48, made no statement on his health when speaking to the media after the Spanish side came from 3-0 down at half-time to draw 3-3 against the five-time European champions.
Several, Sevilla players had hailed Berizzo’s powers of motivation to orchestrate their second-half fight back.
“We had to come out with a different attitude for the fans and for the boss, he made us play like that,” said Argentine international Ever Banega.
“He turned the situation around in the second-half.”
“All our strength and support for Berizzo,” the Galicians posted on Twitter.
“Be strong boss, you are in the best place in the world to not give in because there they never give up,” said Sevilla’s legendary former sporting director Monchi, who joined Roma earlier this year.
It remains to be seen whether Berizzo will need to take time away from his duties as coach to concentrate on his recuperation.
