González's tense press conference: "I know my situation is in danger"

former Espanyol manager Manolo González acknowledged his job is under threat ahead of Tuesday's Copa del Rey tie against Sestao River, vowing to fight for the club despite losing credibility.

Manolo González faced a packed press conference on Monday, acknowledging the precarious state of his position at RCD Espanyol. The manager admitted he has lost significant credibility following poor results but insisted he will not resign and will give everything until the end.

"I know my situation is in danger, that's clear," González said. "I'm not saying goodbye, but the loss of credit I've had is important." He confirmed Espanyol will field a strong XI for Tuesday's Copa del Rey match at Sestao River (19:00 CET), rejecting his usual rotation policy in cup competitions.

González defended his team's mentality and blamed late defensive lapses for dropped points in the league. He expressed frustration at conceding poor goals late in matches, saying the team would have five more points without those errors. Despite the pressure, he remains committed to the club and will continue working to extend his tenure.
