Espanyol sack Manolo González

Manolo González sacked after over three seasons and 107 official matches, following a third consecutive cup embarrassment.

RCD Espanyol have terminated Manolo González's contract as head coach after more than three seasons in charge. The decision came immediately after a 4-3 cup defeat to Sestao, the club's third consecutive cup embarrassment. González departs after 107 official matches at the helm, during which he kept Espanyol in La Liga for two complete seasons and achieved the club's sporting objectives. He became the ninth manager with the most matches in Espanyol's history and the first to surpass 100 games since Mauricio Pochettino. The club thanked González for his professionalism, commitment and effort throughout his tenure.
