Manolo Gonzalez Facing Sacking at Espanyol Following Poor Run of Results

A defeat against Atletico Madrid—the team's fifth loss in nine matches—has left 47-year-old Manolo Gonzalez in a precarious position. According to AS, his continuation as Espanyol's head coach depends entirely on the club's results over the upcoming week.

In the coming days, Espanyol are scheduled to face Racing Santander on October 24 and Villarreal on October 30 in La Liga, alongside a Copa del Rey fixture against Sestao River on October 27. Failure to secure positive outcomes in these fixtures could result in the manager's dismissal.
