Barcelona, Spain (My Sportsbook) - Reports suggest Espanyol will name former Athletic Bilbao boss Jose Manuel Esnal as its new coach. The 58-year-old has been tipped to replace Bartolome Marquez, who was axed in the wake of Espanyol's 1-0 defeat to Sporting Gijon that left the club facing a relegation battle. Marquez's side have won just three of their 13 league games this season, with Sunday's defeat proving to be the final straw for the Barcelona club's board. Mane has vast managerial experience, having coached Lleida, Mallorca, Alaves and Levante before leaving Athletic Bilbao last year. (Courtesy of sportbox.tv) |
