Albacete have dismissed Alberto González after eight league matches without a win left them bottom of LaLiga Hypermotion. The club moved after the defeat to Eibar, with just one point from those eight Segunda games and no sign of a turnaround.
Albacete's reasons for the change
The club's statement said it had taken the "extremely difficult decision" to dispense with the services of Alberto González and his coaching staff. That wording matched the mood around the team. A return of one point from eight league matches is a brutal start, and the bottom-of-the-table position gave Albacete very little room to wait.
González's time at Carlos Belmonte
The exit ends a spell that began on 27 March 2024. Albacete said González will be remembered for helping them survive the 2023-24 season and for an unforgettable Copa del Rey run last season. The club also thanked him and his staff for their dedication, professionalism and commitment at Carlos Belmonte.
He leaves after 108 official matches in charge, which is a decent run by modern coaching standards even if the start to this campaign left the club with a quick decision to make. The pressure came from the league form, not from a single bad night, and that is the part that will stay with this sacking.
Eight games without a win is the number that matters most here, and Albacete are already bottom after that opening stretch. Their next step will come with a new coach, but the first task is obvious: stop the slide before the gap grows any wider.
