Leo Franco has been appointed as coach of SD Huesca

SD Huesca have chosen Leo Franco to be their coach for the club’s first ever campaign in LaLiga Santander.

The Argentine, 41, started out as first-team goalkeeper for the club in 2015, and later moved on to become Director of External Relations last season in LaLiga 1l2l3.

It will be his first season as a coach. “I’m very excited about this step forward. I know how a dressing room works very well,” he said at his presentation on Tuesday. “The club want to grow and we’re on the right track.”
