Since he retired as a professional player, Emiliano Díaz became his father's assistant coach, Ramón. He accompanied him in his steps through San Lorenzo, Independiente and currently he was supporting him in Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia. However, the Arabian club's management did not want him to continue in the position because they considered that he had no experience.
The newspaper Arriyadiyah stated that the board of directors asked Ramón Díaz to no longer work with his son Emiliano as an assistant coach, because they considered that he did not have the adequate experience. This was published by the media without revealing the name of the executive who provided the information.
Given this situation, Emiliano posted on his social media: "It's not a goodbye, because I feel that the possibility of winning another cup was taken out of my hands. We know that we could give much more and for a longer time at this club, but there are things that, due to values and education, we cannot allow as a coaching staff. So I promise that soon we will return and we will win that cup that we desire so much. Thanks to all Saudi Arabia."
Thanks to everyone. Mainly to the players who gave their lives and will continue to give for this club. They became my friends and I will miss them a lot. Thanks to all the people of the club (managers, doctors, cooks, equipment personnel), and to all the fans for so much love, I will always carry them in my heart. We are 3 matches away from being two-time champions, we left all our effort to make history with this club, and I think we achieved it, we went to the top of the continent after 6 years. Today, I am going to force from wherever I am so that this keeps happening. It's not a goodbye, because I feel that they took away from my hands the possibility of winning another cup, we know that we could give much more and for a long time to the club, but there are things that, due to values and education, we cannot allow as a coaching staff. So I promise that soon very soon we will return and we will win that cup that we desire so much. Thanks to all Saudi Arabia for that ❤️⚪️
