Valencia back Voro for the rest of the season

Voro Gonzalez is in his third temporary spell in charge of the La Liga club in a little over a year, but the club have backed him to pull through.

Valencia have backed Voro Gonzalez to manage La Liga's crisis club through choppy waters until the end of the season.

Cesare Prandelli stormed out of Mestalla two weeks ago, blasting the club's transfer plans for January, with sporting director Jesus Garcia Pitarch also quitting in the aftermath.

The departures leave Valencia with the former head of their academy as sporting director and Voro - usually Los Che's match delegate - in charge of first-team affairs for a third time in a little over a year.

Valencia are 17th in La Liga, just a point above the relegation zone as they shudder from one crisis to the next, but the club's hierarchy believe Voro can guide them to safety.
