Racing Santander sack their Manager

Miguel Angel Portugal must have heard the whispers. The new owner needed a new coach. Ignore the fact that Portugal had been in the upper echelons of Real Madrid management and knew the Spanish league like the back of his hand. It didn't matter. The club had gone winless in seven matches. They are a point above relegation, and so the new owner needed to make a public splash and so today the embattled tactician was sacked.

Reports are stating that former Racing manager Marcelino Garcia Toral is the front runner for the position. It's a top-tier job all of a sudden and the higher echelon managers are going to give it a whirl, or you would think, Marcelino was considered to be one of the brighter minds in world football just three years ago, but has anyone mentioned the fact that Rafa Benitez would be perfect with a blank check-book and an eye for talent?

It may not be the sort of job that instantly enamors, but this could the start of a much brighter and competitive league. Hopefully they decide on the right leader.
