Spain’s second-leaguer Alcorcon has terminated the contract of its Romanian headcoach Cosmin Contra. The coach was sacked after Alcorcon’s qualification for the round of 32 of Spain’s Cup thanks to a one-nil win against Elche. In the championships, however, Alcorcon is still ranking 20th after 9 legs, on the last but one position with only 9 points. Contra took over Alcorcon in July when he signed a one-year contract.
