Alcaraz named as new Granada coach

Xinhua, October 4, 2016 Adjust font size:

Spanish Primera Liga strugglers, Granada have named Lucas Alcaraz as their first team coach following the sacking of Paco Jemez last week.

Granada born Alcaraz begins a third term at the helm of the club, which he coached for the last time in the season 2013-14, helping them to avoid relegation to the Spanish second division (Liga 123).

The 50-year-old's last job in Spain saw him at the reins of Levante, losing his post just under a year ago after a home defeat to Real Sociedad.

He returns to a club which currently lies bottom of the Spanish Primera Liga with just 2 points from 7 games this season and with a difficult calendar when the Spanish league returns to action in just under a fortnight with games away to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Endit
