Sergio Gonzalez has been confirmed as the new Coach of Espanyol, taking over from Javier Aguirre.
The Mexican tactician left at the end of the season, despite leading the Periquitos to 13th in the table.
But the Barcelona-based club have confirmed this afternoon that the ‘B’ team boss from last term will take over the first team.
The 37-year-old spent three years as a player at Cornelia-El Prat between 1998 and 2001, before playing over 300 games for Deportivo La Coruna.
