(Reuters) - Spanish clubs Real Valladolid and Espanyol sacked their coaches on Monday, after weekend LaLiga defeats left both teams teetering on the edge of the relegation zone.
Espanyol, who are 17th on 27 points after 27 games and level on points with 18th-placed Almeria, suffered a fourth straight league loss at the hands of Girona on Saturday in Diego Martinez's last game in charge of the club.
Valladolid, in 16th, parted ways with Jose Rojo Pacheta, the manager who led them to promotion last season. "The club recognises the ... role he has played in the team since his arrival but, always with the sole objective of staying in the top flight at the end of the current campaign, has opted to move in another direction," Valladolid said.
