    VALLADOLID (ACB) - Grupo Capitol Valladolid have sacked coach Francisco Garcia following the club’s poor start to the ACB season.

    Garcia was only able to lead Valladolid to one win in their opening nine games, and leaves with the team rooted to the foot of the standings.

    The 39-year-old’s last game in charge saw Valladolid suffer an 82-76 home defeat to Etosa Alicante on Saturday.

    “This decision has been taken after analysing the current negative sporting situation and the recent results in the league,” Valladolid said in a statement on their website.

    “The club want to publicly thank Paco Garcia for his professionalism and the involvement that he has shown during his time at Valladolid, and want to wish him the best in his future professional projects.”
