Three consecutive defeats in LaLiga EA Sports, along with a poor start to the season, have been more than enough for the San Sebastián club to let go of their coach. Iosu Rivas, who had been serving as assistant coach until now, will also not continue in his role.
"The txuri urdin club would like to acknowledge the professionalism, effort, and commitment shown by Sergio Francisco, both during his time in charge of the first team and throughout the years he has been part of our club," the club stated in a press release, also wishing him "all the best in his personal and professional future."
"During his time in our youth academy, where he spent more than eleven years as a coach, he played a key role in the final stages of development for our young players. In addition to the promotions achieved with both the C team and Sanse, many of the players who are now, or will be, in the first team have come through under his guidance," Real Sociedad highlighted.
