For now, however, the story remains in the rumor stage: there has been no official club statement confirming any resignation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2423\" data-end=\"2784\">The background, though, is clearly tense. Just a few days ago, Lakovic publicly took full responsibility for <strong data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2550\">Gran Canaria\u2019s<\/strong> European elimination, calling it one of the hardest defeats and saying: \u201c<strong data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2670\">The responsibility is mine, and mine alone<\/strong>.\u201d That was already a strong sign of personal pressure around the situation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2786\" data-end=\"3170\">At the same time, club president <strong data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2837\">Sitapha Savan\u00e9<\/strong> told EFE that as long as he keeps seeing Lakovic with strength, the team has a better chance, which suggests that the key issue is also the coach\u2019s ability to keep leading in such a difficult moment. The next few hours may therefore be important, but there is still no official split as of now.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1648\"><em data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1648\">Fonte: <a
