Odriozola leaves

In a surprising turn of events, Jon Odriozola has decided to leave his post as Sports Director with the team. Jon was offered to stay on with the team some time before the Vuelta a España, a race in which he directed the team. Both parties wanted to prolong the stay, but sadly didn't manage to reach an agreement. According to Basque newspaper El Diario Vasco, Jon requested more responsibility, probably meaning to direct the team in the biggest races. Seeing as Jon directed the team in races such as the Vuelta, the Tour de Suisse, Tirreno-Adriatico and the Giro d'Italia, I can't really see the problem. Anyway, he's decided to leave the team, and is allegedly considering leaving the sport alltogether. Jon was highly thought off among the riders, but El Diario Vasco doesn't seem to hold Jon is such high regards. "Leaving the team in this way says a lot about his personality". I don't know what to make of it to be honest. Any thoughts on the matter?

Difficult to say anything about it actually, because I don't know the background of the story.

Perhaps it is meant in a good way... like: he has a great personnality leaving the team because they won't agree to his demands (in this moment the demands would be seen as good demands!), so this would mean a critic to the team
