Getafe sack coach Michel Gonzalez after poor start to La Liga season

Getafe have taken just one point from a possible 24 with seven defeats and a draw in their eight matches in the current campaign. That draw came on Sunday when Getafe held Real Sociedad to a 1-1 draw at home, but it was not enough to save the coach from the sack just eight games into his second spell at the club.

Michel Gonzalez became the second coach to lose his job in La Liga on Monday when he was sacked by bottom side Getafe.

Getafe president Angel Torres had previously defended Michel, but with a sector of the crowd on Sunday again calling for the coach's dismissal, he finally caved in to pressure.

Former Atletico Madrid and Valencia coach, Quique Sanchez Flores, who also previously coached Getafe, is the current favourite to be named as his replacement.
