Granada fires coach Resino
Print Edition
GRANADA has sacked coach Abel Resino after less than four months in charge following Thursday’s 1-2 La Liga defeat at home to Espanyol which left the Andalusian club on the brink of relegation with four games left.
“Granada CF announces that coach Abel Resino has this morning been relieved of his duties,” 19th-placed Granada, which is six points from safety, said yesterday. “The team’s results on recent matchdays prompted this difficult decision.”
A drastic upturn in form is needed in its remaining games against Getafe, Cordoba, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid to maintain its status in the top flight for a fifth straight season.
Resino’s replacement was to be named later in the day and Spanish media reported that it was poised to hand former Rayo Vallecano and Sporting Gijon coach Jose Ramon Sandoval the task of preserving its top-flight status.
Resino, who has also coached Atletico Madrid, Levante and Celta Vigo, took over from the sacked Joaquin Caparros in January having helped save Granada from the drop in 2011-12.
The new coach’s first game in charge will be tomorrow at Getafe.
