Espanyol dismiss manager Manolo following poor form

Espanyol have officially dismissed manager Manolo from his position. The decision follows a difficult period for the club, which currently finds itself struggling in the relegation zone. The final straw for the club hierarchy appears to have been the team's early elimination from the Copa del Rey at the hands of Sestao.

A difficult atmosphere at the club

"We cannot show this image or this level; we have to be humble and have self-criticism."

The mood within the squad remains somber following the recent cup exit. After the match at Las Llanas, player Marcos addressed the media, noting the gravity of the situation. He further expressed deep frustration regarding the team's current trajectory, stating:

"Even if De la Fuente came, we wouldn't win like this."

Manolo, who was once celebrated by the fans and had previously secured a contract renewal with the backing of Monchi, now leaves the club as it searches for a way to climb out of the bottom of the table.
