Michel has been sacked by Getafe.

Marca says after registering just one point in their first eight games, Getafe fired the former Real Madrid player, who has failed to inspire his team into a win so far in the 2021/22 campaign.

Despite drawing against Real Sociedad at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday, president Angel Torres decided to dismiss Michel during a meeting held on Monday morning with the club's board of directors.

One of the favourites and the club's primary target to succeed Michel is Quique Sanchez Flores, who is a former player of the team and a coach who has been in charge of Getafe twice in the past.

Another candidate who emerged on Monday is former Lugo coach Juanfran Garcia, whose agent Francois Adbou Saad was at the club's offices in the morning to discuss his client's future.
