Valencia coach resigns

Valencia coach Nuno Espirito Santo has ended his 17-month spell in charge of the club by resigning, he confirmed on Sunday.

“It has been an honor to be the coach of Valencia,” he said after a 0-1 defeat to Sevilla. Los Che’s defeat at the Sanchez Pizjuan was their eighth in 20 games this season. The Portuguese coach had spearheaded a return to the Champions League for the first time in three years last season under an ambitious project financed by Singaporean club owner Peter Lim. However, it has failed to build on that early success as it sits ninth in La Liga and needs to beat Lyon in its final Champions League game to have any chance of progressing.
