Former Spain coach Javier Clemente will lead Valladolid for its
last eight games of the season as the club tries to avoid
relegation.
Clemente replaces Onesimo Sanchez with Valladolid second last
and seven points from safety.
Clemente says "it will be difficult" to stay up but "not
impossible."
His work begins Saturday when Valladolid plays Tenerife,
which is one place higher.
The 60-year-old Clemente led Spain from 1992-98 and spent two
years with Serbia after having led Athletic Bilbao for three
spells. Clemente's last job was at Murcia in 2008, but he failed to
keep that club from dropping into the second division.
