Albert Riera is increasingly losing his footing and patience. The Spanish coach faced a torrent of boos during Sunday’s match against Primorje, which surprisingly defeated Celje 3-0. As reported by Ekipa, the former coach of Olimpija and Bordeaux, who recently replaced Damir Krznar at Celje, found himself embroiled in a verbal altercation with the most vocal critics among the fans.
According to reports, Riera responded sharply to the discontented supporters, saying, “If you don’t like it, don’t come.” There is no doubt that his reaction was inappropriate. Fans have the right to express their opinions, especially when the results fall short of their expectations. This isn’t the first time Albert Riera has reacted strongly to criticism from the stands. After a narrow win against Shamrock, he told critics, “If anyone knows more than I do, they can come and take my place and fix everything. Simple. Boos don’t help players. It’s normal in football; players and coaches must accept it. I’m not worried, I know what I have to do. If anyone thinks they are better than me, they should talk to the president and come here. I try to do the best I can.”
