Red lantern of La Liga, Espanyol Barcelona decided this Saturday to end the duties of its coach Abelardo Fernandez.

Appointed last December in place of Pablo Machin, the 50-year-old Spaniard is dismissed by his leaders in the last straight line of the season and on the eve of the reception of Real Madrid, counting for the 32nd day. His assistants Tomas Hervas and Iñaki Tejada are also leaving. To replace it, the Catalan club has bet on an internal solution with Francisco Joaquin Perez Rufete, its sports director.
Last in the standings with 24 points, eight lengths from the first non-relegation Eibar, Espanyol Barcelona remain on two consecutive defeats against Levante (1-3) and Betis Seville (0-1).
