The Spanish club Espanyol says it has fired coach Mauricio Pochettino and sports director Ramon Planes, but has not immediately said who will replace the pair.
Espanyol is in last place in the Spanish league after a 2-0 home defeat to Getafe on Sunday, with nine points from 13 games played this season.
''Mauricio Pochettino will today stop being coach to the first team,'' the club said in a statement Monday. It also said there would be a press conference later in the day.
The former Argentina, Espanyol, Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux central defender took over as coach in late January 2009 with the side third from bottom.
