Espanyol sack coach Tintin Marquez

Espanyol have sacked coach Tintin Marquez after their dismal defeat to Sporting Gijon.

The Espanyol board met immediately after the game and agreed to dismiss Marquez, says Marca. His reign had produced just 12 points from 13 games this season.

Serbia coach Miroslav Djukic and former Espanyol boss Luis Fernandez are both in the frame to fill the now vacant position.
