His decision to ignore instructions to"discount" Copa del Rey, which he said was considered"minor tournament", did not sit well with management.
"They didn't tell me why they didn't want the Copa, only that it was a minor tournament and that I could be putting the main goal at risk. Winning the Copa was the trigger for this situation," Marcelino was cited by Spanish sports newspaper Diario AS as saying at a press conference on Friday.
