The defeat against Leganés was the straw that filled the glass of Espanyol's patience with Pablo Machín . The blue and white club announced today the dismissal of the coach, who in turn took over from David Gallego at the head of the first parakeet team. In total, his stage in the club has lasted about two and a half months, over which he has not managed to straighten the course of a team that sinks deeper and deeper into the bottom of the table.
In addition to Pablo Machín, the components of his technical staff, Jordi Guerrero, Jordi Balcells and Carles Martínez will not follow in the entity. The numbers that the team has signed in the League, tremendously negative, as happened with David Gallego, are those that have ended up condemning the former coach of, among others, Girona and Sevilla. Under his command, only one victory and two draws have been achieved and seven losses have been conceded. And, as it happened with his predecessor, the parakeet group still does not know what it is to win at home.
The exit of the Machín entity is taking advantage of the football break for the Christmas holidays and his successor must face a tough challenge: the derby against Barça. That, precisely, will be the first match of the year for the Blue and Whites in Cornellà-El Prat. A duel in which, in addition, they will not be able to count on the former Madridista Esteban Granero, sanctioned for the accumulation of reprimands. And those who are sounding more insistently to take the reins of the team are, precisely, two former Barca players: Juan Antonio Pizzi and Abelardo Fernández . Both are currently without equipment. The first, after directing during this same year to San Lorenzo de Almagro and the second, meanwhile, after directing to Alavés.
