This Sunday, Espanyol dismissed Luis García as first team coach. The team’s recent results, four points from the last fifteen possible, have forced the coach’s dismissal. Sources at the Catalan club have told EFE that the intention with Luis García’s departure is to reach “a turning point” and achieve a style of play that allows promotion to the first division “with greater certainty”.
Currently, Espanyol is fifth in this category with 24 points, four points behind leaders Leganés. The Blue-Whites are currently experiencing their worst series of results, losing against Leganés (0:1) and Sporting (2:0) and drawing against Eibar (2:2). The blue and white club said in the statement that the Asturian coach’s departure was motivated by the “single and clear goal of achieving promotion to the highest category.”
Espanyol’s official announcement recalled the importance of the figure Luis García, which the company defined as “crucial and essential” to its “performance and commitment”. The coach was also a parakeet footballer for seven seasons. The blue and white board wished him, as the text says, “good luck” in his personal and professional projects from now on. Luis García’s replacement, however, will be announced “in the next few hours,” according to the club. Luis García’s Espanyol has seven wins, three draws and four defeats. The bloc is currently experiencing its worst earnings momentum.
