Quique Sanchez Flores named as new Getafe coach

MADRID: Quique Sanchez Flores is the new manager of Spanish football club Getafe, named as the replacement for Michel Gonzalez at the La Liga strugglers.

The 56-year-old Sanchez Flores, who has worked with clubs such as Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Espanyol and Watford, returns for a third spell at the club from just south of Madrid after previously coaching them in the 2004-2005 season and for two months in 2015 when he left citing personal reasons.

He joins a club that is currently bottom of La Liga with just one point from a possible 24 after suffering seven defeats and managing just a draw in the last eight matches under the guidance of his predecessor.

"Every time I have been at Getafe, I have had the feeling of being part of the family. At the moment the family is in trouble and I want to train," said Sanchez Flores at his presentation on Wednesday.

The coach said he wasn't worried about the club's current delicate situation. IANS
