Quique Flores Sacked By Valencia
Under cover of darkness, Valencia have parted company with coach Quique Sanchez Flores, the 3-0 defeat at Sevilla proving the last straw for the Mestalla hierarchy...
Quique Sanchez Flores has officially been sacked as boss of Valencia CF.
The manager, who took over in 2005, has been under pressure for months from fans and club officials alike.
Despite his side's lofty position in La Liga, Sunday night's 3-0 defeat at Sevilla proved too much for the club hierarchy to bear.
European football, too, must have played its part, the 2-0 defeat to Rosenborg midweek being perhaps Los Che's worst continental result in recent years.
With the fans vociferously protesting against Quique's style of play, and the narrow margins of victory that the team sometimes produced, club president Juan Soler clearly felt that it was time to act.
To this end, he convened a meeting at 01:45 local time, having remained in Valencia while the bulk of the executive corps traveled with the team to Sevilla. Upon their return at 02:49, the meeting began in earnest.
Then, at 03:52, communications director Jesus Wollstein emerged from the smoke-filled room to read the following statement:
"The board of directors of Valencia CF, after analysing the technical report issued by the sports director, Miguel Angel Ruiz, on the status of the team, which is considered irreversible after the latest results in the Liga and the Champions League, has taken the decision to dismiss Quique Sanchez Flores and appoint Oscar Fernandez, the current coach of Valencia-Mestalla [Valencia reserves], the interim coach, while working towards finding a new sporting coach to lead the first team."
The president will address the first team squad at 11:00 local time, with a press conference with Fernandez slated for 11:30. Finally, president Soler will conduct a press conference at 12:00.
Quique took over at the Mestalla in 2005 after a successful two-year spell in charge at Getafe. His first season saw Los Che improve from a 7th place finish to end up 3rd; the following campaign ended in a 4th place finish and an appearance in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Valencia's next match is against league leaders Real Madrid at the Mestalla midweek.
