Relegation-doomed Elche sack coach Machin


Bottom of La Liga club Elche sacked manager Pablo Machin after Monday's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad left them 14 points from safety .


 

Former Sevilla and Espanyol boss Machin left just months after joining Elche in November , already in the relegation zone.


  " Pablo Machin will not continue as first-team coach, " the club said in a statement.


  Elche only ended their wait for a first league win of the season after failing to win any of their opening 19 games last month.


  Machin 's side had four points from their first two games before Sunday's loss to Real Sociedad .


He is the third coach to be sacked by Elche this season, following the sackings of Francisco Rodriguez and Jorge Almiron .
