Levante Fires Coach Jose Mendilibar
Levante has fired Jose Mendilibar, becoming the second Spanish club in as many days to remove a head coach.
The 53-year-old Mendilibar replaced Joaquin Caparros this season but failed to maintain the same level of play, with the team scoring a league-low four goals through eight rounds and sitting next-to-last in the standings.
The club has not named a replacement for Mendilibar, who previously coached clubs including Osasuna, Valladolid and Athletic Bilbao.
Mendilibar is the second coach to be fired from Spain's top division this week, his departure announced just hours after last-place Cordoba replaced Albert Ferrer with Miroslav Djukic on Monday.
