Celta Vigo boss Eduardo ‘Chacho’ Coudet will not be able to take charge of his side’s game at Sevilla in La Liga this weekend.
Former midfielder Coudet – who had a brief spell at the Galician club during his playing career – had been set to oversee his first game in charge of Celta after being appointed over the international break.
A Celta statement last week confirmed his appointment from Brazilian club Internacional, whom he guided to 23 victories in 43 matches while at the helm.
Now Cadena Ser report that his application has not been processed in time for the relevant authorities at UEFA to allow him to sit on the bench for the trip to Andalusia this weekend.
