Alcaraz sacked as Levante coach

With Levante bottom of La Liga after just one win in
nine games, coach Lucas Alcaraz has been sacked.

Levante have sacked coach Lucas Alcaraz after yet another La
Liga loss on Sunday.

A 4-0 defeat at home to Real Sociedad left Levante bottom of
the table after collecting just six points from their opening nine
games.

A board meeting hours after the game led to Alcaraz, who was
appointed in October last year, being sacked.

The 49-year-old, who has struggled to hold down a long-term
position, also saw his backroom staff depart with him.

Levante have conceded 19 goals in their nine league games this
season to be sitting two points from safety.

A Carlos Vela brace consigned them to their latest loss as
Sociedad scored four times, including twice late on, at the
Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
