Deportivo la Coruna confirmed on Sunday that they have sacked coach Cristobal Parallo following a poor run of results.
Parallo, who replaced Pepe Mel for the 10th game of the campaign, has been in charge for 13 games in the Liga Santander, but has overseen just two wins along with three draws and eight defeats. Deportivo are currently the third from bottom of the league table, reports Xinhua news agency.
Club president Tino Fernandez had assured on Thursday that Parallo's job was safe whatever happened in the club's next game, but a 5-0 defeat away to Real Sociedad on Friday night meant his position was unsustainable and the club is now searching for a replacement.
