The calm coach

The final whistle was heard in Matute and the calmness of Pablo Bengoechea surprised everyone once again. Alianza Lima was crowned national champion and its players celebrated with euphoria, but he stood on the side of the field, just watching and applauding.

But the Uruguayan coach is like that. A person who usually controls his emotions well. This was proven in every press conference he gave throughout the season. Always calm, holding back. Choosing every word he was going to say out loud.

Bengoechea's emotion

However, in his last press conference, after winning the title with Alianza Lima, there was a moment that broke him like never before. His daughter sent him a message via Twitter and a journalist read it out loud.

"Health, champion. We love you and we are infinitely proud of you. You deserve it more than anyone else for your ability, effort, and dedication. We are waiting for you. Great job, dad", wrote Elo Bengoechea on her social media.

And in front of all the journalists, his father's expression changed and he even had a small breakdown. On the verge of tears, he said: "It moves me. Thanks to my wife and my daughters. They are my motivation. Our family strongly believes in professionalism, values, and discipline, and together with my wife, we have formed a beautiful family. It is our pride. Our daughters make us better. Thanks to them", responded the coach of Alianza Lima.
