Real Sociedad's Coaching Shake-up Amid Season Struggles

Real Sociedad fired coach Sergio Francisco following a streak of three consecutive losses in La Liga. The team is now just one point above the relegation zone after a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Girona. Francisco leaves after taking over in April, with Sociedad seeking a replacement.

In a bid to reverse its fortunes in La Liga, Real Sociedad has dismissed coach Sergio Francisco just days after the team's third consecutive defeat.

The decision follows a 2-1 loss to Girona, a team that hadn't secured a win in four matches across all competitions. Sociedad sits precariously in 15th place, a single point above relegation.

Francisco, who stepped in as coach in April, departs with the club yet to name a successor. Sociedad is scheduled to play against Eldense in the Copa del Rey and face Levante in the Spanish league soon.
