Diego Cocca, Ronaldo and Real Valladolid’s inevitable fate

Diego Cocca sacked, Ronaldo under scrutiny and Real Valladolid heading towards relegation.

Eight games. One win. Seven defeats. It is safe to say that Diego Cocca’s brief tenure at the Estadio José Zorrilla will not live long in the memory of Real Valladolid supporters. The former Mexico boss started his first foray into European football management with a 3-0 LaLiga loss against Girona and an embarrassing defeat against third-tier Ourense in the Copa del Rey. Perhaps, the writing was on the wall from the very start.
