Sanchez Flores is the new coach of Getafe
Madrid: Quique Sanchez Flores has been appointed as the coach of the Spanish club Getafe. Quique Sanchez Flores has replaced the previous coach Cosmin Contra.
Flores replaces Cosmin Contra, who Sunday confirmed his departure from the Madrid-based outfit to sign for Chinese club Guangzhou. He has agreed a two and an half year contract to take him back for his second spell at the Alfonso Perez Coliseum, reports Xinhua.
The former Valencia and Real Madrid player was in charge of Getafe for the 2004/5 season, guiding them to safety in what was their first ever campaign in the La Liga.
He left Getafe to coach Valencia and has also worked with Benfica and Atletico Madrid, as well as in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
“It has been 10 years since I left here and I wanted to come back to a place where I was happy. I have only been back for a few hours and it feels as if I have never been away,” said Sanchez Flores, who added that he had the obligation to fulfil the club’s objectives.
“We will work in a professional manner and I hope people will be able to see the results of our work very soon,” added the coach, who will make his debut in the Getafe dugout in the last 16 of the King’s Cup when his side travel to face Almeria Wednesday night.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
