One of the underdogs of the Spanish championship has a new coach - Jose Luis Oltra.

The 41-year-old specialist, after long negotiations, agreed to take over the reins of the team, which currently occupies the penultimate place in the national championships.

He will replace Juan Manuel Lillo, who was dismissed after the humiliating 0-8 defeat to Barcelona. With this result, the biggest defeat in the Spanish championship was repeated after a 51-year break.

Oltra will lead the team until the end of the season.
