Real Sociedad sacks Eusebio Sacristan

CAIRO – 19 March 2018: Real Sociedad announced on Monday that the club has ended its contract with club manager Eusebio Sacristan after the team’s 2-1 loss to Getafe at home on Saturday.

“The club would like to thank Eusebio Sacristan for his hard work, professionalism and conduct as manager of the first team over these years. We wish him all the best in his future professional and personal endeavors,” Real Sociedad’s statement said.
