Francisco Rodriguez handed mission to save rock-bottom Huesca

Madrid (AFP) – Former Almeria coach Francisco Rodriguez was on Wednesday named the new boss of rock-bottom La Liga side Huesca to replace the sacked Leo Franco.

The 40-year-old’s first match in charge will be on October 21 at home to Espanyol now coached by Joan Francesc Ferrer ‘Rubi’ who left Huesca in June after taking them to promotion.
