La Liga side Espanyol sack their coach David Gallego with team sitting 19th and appoint former Sevilla boss Machin as new boss.
Gallego took over the role at the RCE Stadium in the summer, joining from relegated Huesca, after fans favourite Rubi opted to move on to Real Betis.
The club held a meeting on Monday when Gallego’s fate was decided. He has only won one La Liga match this season, which is the reason he is being ousted, even though the team has done well in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, former Sevilla boss Machin has been named the new boss.
Machin had been out of a job since leaving Sevilla in March and will be presented at the RCDE Stadium on Tuesday morning.
