Recreativo Huelva became the first Spanish top flight football club to sack their coach when Manolo Zambrano was dismissed on Tuesday.
Recreativo, the oldest club in Spain, said that Zambrano will be replaced by Lucas Alcaraz.
An official statement on the club's website justified the decision by mentioning the "worrying sporting situation" of the team.
Zambrano saved Recreativo from relegation last season. However, they have made a poor start this term and are currently third from bottom, with just four points from six games.
The final nail in Zambrano's coffin was Sunday's 4-0 meltdown against local rivals Malaga.
Alcaraz, the son of a prominent left-wing politician, was Recreativo's coach from 2000 to 2003, guiding them to promotion to the top flight and taking them to the 2003 King's Cup final.
