Fran Escribe is no longer the head coach of Celta, the club’s official website said. The Celts thanked the specialist for their cooperation and wished them success in their future careers..
The last match for Escriba led by Celta was the defeat of Getafe 0: 1. In the starting 12 rounds of the championship, the team gained only nine points and goes in the relegation zone.
Fran Escrib led Celta since March of this year, replacing Shakhtar's former coach Miguel Cardozo. He took the club in 17th place and managed to prevent a flight from La Liga.
Marca calls Oscar Garcia Hunyent, who now works as a TV commentator on Movistar, as the main contender for the Celt coach. As a coach, Oscar worked with the Barcelona Children's Team, as well as in Maccabi Tel Aviv, Brighton, Watford, Salzburg, Saint Etienne and Olympiacos.
Celta will play his next match on November 9 against Barcelona away.
