Pablo Machin has been named new head coach of Espanyol.

The former Girona and Sevilla boss takes over from David Gallego, who was sacked on Monday.

Machin had been out of a job since leaving Sevilla in March and will be presented at the RCDE Stadium on Tuesday morning.

Espanyol are currently in 19th position in LaLiga Santander and haven't won a home game all season.
