MADRID: Spanish LaLiga strugglers Deportivo Alaves have named former Malaga and Levante coach Juan Muniz as the replacement for Asier Garitano. Garitano was sacked on Sunday after a run of five consecutive defeats that has left Alaves just six points clear of the relegation zone with four games to play. The Alaves website confirms that 51-year-old Muniz, who has been without a club since being sacked by Malaga in April 2019, will be in charge until the end of the season, but does not say whether he will continue after that.
