Jose Ramon Sandoval announced as new Rayo Vallecano coach

There will be a familiar face back in the Rayo Vallecano dugout entrusted with steering the club back to the top flight of Spanish football. Jose Ramon Sandoval is the chosen man to usher in a new era at Vallecas, with an imminent return to LaLiga a clear priority.

Sandoval, who returns to the club that he guided to safety five years ago, was in charge during Rayo's most recent promotion campaign, which could well stand him in good stead for the coming season.
