Madrid: Real Valladolid have sacked coach Onesimo Sanchez after only two months at the helm with the side lying 19th in the 20-team La Liga, the club said on their website on Monday.
Sanchez replaced Jose Luis Mendilibar at the beginning of February but managed to collect only six out of a possible 30 points.The 2-0 defeat at home to Villarreal on Sunday, when fans barracked the players, left them seven points short of safety with eight games left to play this season. Sanchez`s assistant Jorge Alonso will take charge until a replacement can be found and the club said they hoped to have the new incumbent in place for Saturday`s trip to face fellow relegation-strugglers Tenerife.
