Michel, the head coach of Getafe, has been fired. Under the Spanish coach, Los Azulones had only one point from their first eight league games this season. On Sunday, Michel’s farewell game with the club ended in a 1-1 draw at home against Real Sociedad.

Getafe, who hasn’t won in eight games and is in last place in La Liga, fired Michel on Monday. The draw gave Real Madrid their first point of the season, but it was not enough to save Jose Miguel Gonzalez Martin del Campo, better known as “Michel.”

According to Marca, Quique Sánchez Flores is the favorite to succeed Alfonso Pérez at the Coliseum. Getafe has had two past managers, including the former Watford manager.
