Leganés Fires Paco López as Reserve Coach Igor Oca Is Named Interim

Club leaders acted after a cup exit, with the league slide leaving Leganés just above the drop.

Overview

  • The dismissal followed a 1-2 Copa del Rey defeat to Albacete and a comeback loss to bottom-placed Real Zaragoza.
  • Leganés sits 18th in Segunda División, level on 18 points with Andorra near the relegation zone, and has five points from seven home matches.
  • Supporters’ group Once Leones announced a cheering strike, delaying entry by 10 minutes and organized chanting until the 15th as a protest against the leadership.
  • For Sunday’s match against Córdoba, key absences include sent-off duo Marvel and Duk, a suspension for Diawara, and a muscle injury doubt for Rubén Peña.
  • Córdoba coach Iván Ania warned that a coaching change can trigger a short-term reaction and said Igor Oca typically favors a 4-2-3-1 with an advanced defensive line.
