Almeria have become the second side to sack their manager in La Liga this season, after dismissing Vicente Moreno seven games into the campaign, as per Relevo.
The Andalusian side have endured a torrid start to the campaign, securing just two points so far, draws against Cadiz and Valencia. That has them locked to the bottom of the table, following a 5-1 thumping at the hands of Sevilla on Tuesday evening, which proved to be the final straw for the Almeria hierarchy.

This also comes in the context of what many had regarded to be a solid summer for Almeria, who spent over €50m in the transfer market, although their sales did amount to over €40m, including star forward El Bilal Toure. However it has not paid off yet, with their 18 goals now the worst defensive record in the division.
It is not yet clear who will replace Moreno, but Almeria will want to be swift with their replacement. Ahead of the international break, Almeria face Granada at home before a trip to Athletic Club the following weekend.
