Berizzo hit by prostate tumor news
Print Edition
A DAY after Sevilla rallied to hold Liverpool to a remarkable 3-3 draw in the UEFA Champions League, the Spanish club said coach Eduardo 鈥淭oto鈥 Berizzo has a malignant tumor.
Rumors about the coach鈥檚 condition began spreading not long after Tuesday鈥檚 match in Seville. Yesterday, the club confirmed that the 48-year-old Argentine has been diagnosed with a prostate tumor.
Sevilla鈥檚 mantra of 鈥淣ever Give Up鈥 was extensively brought up by fans and players after the club pulled off its comeback against Liverpool with an injury-time goal by Guido Pizarro. It was brought up again yesterday.
鈥淵ou are in the best place in the world to never give up,鈥 former Sevilla sporting director Ramon 鈥淢onchi鈥 Rodriguez, who now works for Italian club AS Roma, wrote on Twitter. 鈥淲here you are, they never give up.鈥
Sevilla has not said how Berizzo鈥檚 condition will affect his work. In its brief statement, the club said only that further tests will determine what type of treatment will be required. It was not clear if Berizzo will need to undergo surgery.
Sevilla鈥檚 next is a league match at Villarreal on Sunday.
Berizzo was hired by Sevilla this season after Jorge Sampaoli left to coach Argentina鈥檚 national team. He had spent three seasons with Celta Vigo, guiding the club to the Europa League semifinals and to two Copa del Rey semifinals.
Berizzo was among those jeered on Tuesday after Sevilla conceded three goals in the first 30 minutes of the Group E match against Liverpool in Seville. But Pizarro鈥檚 late goal from a corner kick salvaged the draw that kept the club in good position to advance to the knockout stages.
