Felipo and García take interim charge of Valencia Women

Fernando Felipo and Víctor García will take interim charge of Valencia Women for Friday's match against Atlético Madrid while the club seeks a permanent replacement.

Valencia Women have appointed Fernando Felipo, coordinator of the VCF Women's Academy, and Víctor García, Valencia Women B coach, as interim managers following Mikel Crespo's sacking on Tuesday. The pair will lead the team in Friday's 19:30 fixture at Atlético Madrid (fifth place, 12 points). Valencia sit bottom of Liga F with zero points from seven matches this season, prompting the club to dismiss Crespo and assistant Alejandro Moreno after a disastrous start despite Crespo's success in securing promotion last year.
