Spanish soccer club Mlaga says it plans to fire some employees to improve its financial situation amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The second-division club's finances have been overseen by a public administrator since a judge replaced Qatari club owner Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani in February.
Mlaga says the measure is one of many being taken to "ease the difficult economic situation it is experiencing." It says the "restructuring" is needed to ensure its sustainability.
The club did not say which employees will be fired. The team is in 15th place in the second-division standings.
