Spanish football side Valencia have sacked their manager ALBERT CELADES after only nine months in charge, while the club's sporting director CESAR SANCHEZ has resigned.

The club also announced that VORO GONZALEZ as CELADES replacement until the end of the season in what is his sixth spell as Valencia's temporary boss.

He first took over in 2008 after RONALD KOEMAN's sacking and helped the La Liga side avoid relegation.

CELADES is the sixth manager to be dismissed since Singaporean billionaire PETER LIM bought the club in 2014, while SANCHEZ is the sixth sporting director to leave the club in the same period.
