Juan Carlos Garrido out as Betis boss

Seville, Spain - Real Betis manager Juan Carlos Garrido has been fired after spending just 48 days in charge of the club.

Garrido took over in December after current West Bromwich boss Pepe Mel was fired. However, he failed to win a game in his short tenure, and leaves the club in last place, eight points from safety.

"Juan Carlos Garrido is no longer the coach of Real Betis," read a club statement.

"The club has decided to dispense with his services. The coach, who has not achieved the desired results, will not lead the team tomorrow. The intention of the board is that the new coach, who arrives tonight, will immediately take over the team."

That new coach is former Betis player Gabriel Humberto Calderon, who has been confirmed as the team's third manager of the season.
