Jimmy Bran qualified the Ecuadorian U-20 national team for the World Cup categories, but he will not be on the bench at the tournament that will be played in Indonesia, the leadership of the Ecuadorian football association decided not to renew their relationship and he has already put Miguel Bravo as a substitute.

“I had no problems with the allianceI want to make that clear. He had a contract until the end of the South American, after that he went for an evaluation and They thought it was convenient that my continuity would not remain and I respect those decisions,” said Bran in contact with wq radio.

Miguel Bravo is the new helmsman of the mini-Trio

Bran arrived at the FEF as the captain of the under-15 team, but last June took technical command of mini-Tri, “challenge and responsibility” which the man from Guayaquil set up with two main goals, according to the federation’s guidelines: to qualify for the World Cup in Indonesia and to promote the players to the senior team.

“Two goals are fulfilled, maybe the forms are not liked and that is what enters into the analysis, but everything happens through continuity of work because for the silver medal at the Games in Odessa We worked continuously with the players, but there was no process to go to the South American because we only have players for January, we started work on the 5th, and we already played on the 20th, It’s not an excuse, but they are indicators why good results were achieved in one tournament, but not in another”, commented Bran.

Achieving the goals accredited him to continue leading the national team, but The FEF decision surprised me because I thought it would continue on duty after qualifying for the World Cup,” he said.

The performance of the mini-Tri “left doubts” in Ecuafútbol

“We have achieved our goals and perhaps with continuous work the results would be better, but I leave calmly, without anger, And if the leaders decided not to extend my contract, I will be fine, to my satisfaction duty fulfilled, with a silver medal in Odesa (Paraguay) and qualifications for the World Championship (Colombia)Bran pointed out.

For the final balance of his management, Bran said that he filled the tricolor technical bench. “We were not the best as finalists in Odessur, nor the worst for fourth place at the World Cup, we lacked time and workBecause I believe that when you enroll in the process, continuity of work will give long-term results, that would be crucial for the new coach, because only then will the results be seen,” he concluded. .
