MADRID - Hercules sacked coach Esteban
Vigo after a 4-0 home defeat by Osasuna left them bottom of La
Liga, the Spanish club said on Sunday.
Vigo, 56, led Hercules back into the top division last
season for the first time since 1996/97, and in his first away
game they stunned champions Barcelona 2-0 at the Nou Camp.
They claimed notable scalps at home but struggled on the
road and have been in freefall over the last couple of months,
losing nine of their last 11 matches.
Hercules, who have yet to name a replacement, have 26
points, four adrift of safety with nine matches left this
season.
