Earlier on Tuesday, it was confirmed that former Barcelona defender Abelardo Fernandez has been appointed as Alaves boss and now La Liga basement club Huesca have also confirmed a new coach.
The Aragon club had confirmed the dismissal of boss Michel – who had guided them to the Segunda title last year – on Monday evening following a 2-0 loss at home to Real Betis.

Huesca have accumulated just 12 points from their opening 18 league games this campaign – with just one victory – and are six points from safety.
