This season struggling "Valencia" club officially announced on Monday that their head coach Javi Gracia is leaving his post. The 51-year-old Spaniard lost his job after Sunday's defeat against "Barcelona". It is obvious that this defeat was not crucial, as "Valencia" is currently in 14th place in the "La Liga" championship. J. Gracia took over the reins at "Valencia" just last summer. Before that, the Spaniard coached the "Watford" team. Salvador Gonzalez will temporarily coach the "Valencia" team.
