Barcelona applauds, opposition candidates dismiss their coach last night

Barcelona applauds. Their potential opponents this weekend in the Spanish League fired their coach last night. that

Valencia CF has announced the dismissal of their team coach Marcelino Garcia Toral after only three diving matches this season in the Spanish League. His successor was immediately announced, namely former Real Madrid and Barcelona player Albert Celades.

The La Liga club beat Mallorca 2-0 in their last win in the national league, but this is their only win of the season and they are 10th in the standings.

However, Valencia actually finished fourth in the league last season, won the Copa del Rey and reached the European League semi-finals. So the dismissal of their coach raises a question mark. Marcelino is the oldest Valencia ruler since the Unai Emery era - now the Arsenal coach - in 2012. Emery is four years old, Marcelino is two years old.

The club has announced the departure of Marcelino on his website Thursday morning, Indonesian time. "Valencia has told Marcelino García Toral about his decision to dismiss him as the team's first coach, starting on Wednesday. The club wants to thank Marcelino for his hard work and dedication during his coaching career, and wish him success."

Just to remind that Barcelona lost to Valencia by a score of 1-2 in the final of the Copa del Rey last May, while news of the dismissal of Marcelino will make Barcelona happy. Two goals from Kevin Gameiro and Rodrigo in the first period were not immediately taken by the Blaugrana. In 73 minutes, Lionel Messi scored the answer, but it was too late.

Valencia is owned by Singapore-based businessman Peter Lim, who also owns 40% of the Salford City club. The billionaire helped finance a € 76 million investment in the group this summer, bringing in players such as Maxi Gomez, Denis Cheryshev, Jasper Cillessen and Eliaquim Mangala.

But with this dismissal, Marcelino did not have the opportunity to form the team he planned. He is now one of the former Valencia leaders who is licensed, including Gary Neville, Cesare Prandelli and Nuno Espirito Santo. But the new manager will start his new regime with the most difficult fight imaginable. Valencia will visit Barcelona at Camp Nou on Saturday.
