Valladolid fires coach Sanchez

Valladolid fired coach Onesimo Sanchez on Monday with the Spanish club in danger of being relegated from Spain's top division.

Sanchez managed only one victory in 10 games since replacing Jose Luis Mendilibar in February. The club is penultimate in the league standings, seven points off survival with eight games to play.

Valladolid plays Tenerife, which is also fighting to avoid the drop, on Saturday.

Assistant Jorge Alonso will replace Sanchez until a new coach is named, the club said.
