Spaniard Quique Sanchez Flores has returned for a second spell with La Liga club Getafe, after he left over nine years ago.

Sannchez, 49, guided the Madrid-based club to the Primera Division in 2004-05 season and guided them to a 13th place finish, eventually becoming the only promoted side to avoid relegation in that campaign.

He moved on to coach Valencia the following season, before subsequent spells with Benfica and Atletico Madrid.

He led Atletico to the 2010 Europa League final triumph over Fulham FC, as well as the final of the Copa del Rey same year, where they lost to Sevilla FC.

Sanchez arrives from Dubai club Al Ain and succeeds Romanian Cosmin Contra, who resigned from his position at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Sunday to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson at Guangzhou R&F FC, leaving the club in 14th place and just four points above the relegation zone.
