Granada have sacked coach Fabriciano Gonzalez with the team sitting fourth from bottom in La Liga. Gonzalez, who guided the Andalusian team to consecutive promotions, presided over a 3-0 defeat away to Espanyol on Saturday which left the team just a point clear of the bottom three. The club announced Gonzalez would be present at a press conference with chairman Enrique Pina tomorrow. A statement from the club said: \"After a meeting held this afternoon between the sports director Juan Carlos Cordero and first team coach Fabriciano Gonzalez it was decided to cease [the relationship] with the Galician technician. \"This is a painful decision for us. The club want to show our appreciation to Mr Gonzalez for his services, becoming part of the long history of the club, achieving two consecutive promotions.\"
