Sanchez's reign comes to an end
IT never rains but it pours if you are Hugo Sanchez, who this week blamed the weather for contributing to his sacking as manager of Spanish Primera Liga side Almeria.
His side were thumped 4-1 by Athletic Bilbao last month during a rare Andalucian downpour to leave the Mexican coach lamenting: "It never rains here and the day of the Athletic match it was bucketing down.
"They put three past us from set pieces and we lost badly."
Sanchez was dismissed on Sunday after a 2-0 loss at Espanyol left Almeria one point above the relegation places.
