Fran Escriba and Getafe part company

Fran Escriba is no longer the Getafe CF coach. The club revealed the decision through a statement published on their official website.

The Spaniard's final match in charge was the 2-0 defeat by Villarreal CF on Sunday, which left the club 19th in the table on 28 points, two away from safety. Getafe thanked Escriba for his services and wished him the best in his future endeavours.

Six finals lie in wait for his replacement in the Getafe dugout. The club's run-in reads Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Valencia CF, RC Deportivo, R. Sporting and R. Betis in what will be a real battle to avoid the drop.
