Last weekend, Real Valladolid booked an immediate return to La Liga, having secured promotion with a 3-2 victory over Villarreal B, who were relegated in the process.

Pezzolano clearly felt safe enough in his position to make light of the situation, although as it turns out, he could still end up being relieved of his duties.

Real Valladolid released a statement earlier on Thursday in which Pezzolano was condemned for comments he made to Uruguayan media on the situation surrounding the club’s likely sale. There’s clearly a lot of tension between all parties, and a clear break before the start of pre-season could end up being the outcome.
