A run of eight matches without a win has led Real Betis to relieve coach Pepe Mel of his duties for the second time in three years.
Pepe Mel has been sacked as coach of Real Betis after a 1-0 loss at Getafe on Saturday left the club 15th in La Liga, five points outside the relegation zone.
The former West Brom manager has overseen a miserable run of results of late, with Betis having gone eight games without a win in all competitions, and the club's board chose to act on Sunday in an effort to stave off the threat of relegation.
