April 5 (Reuters) - Uruguayan Paulo Pezzolano has been appointed as the new head coach of Spanish side Real Valladolid until the end of the 2023-24 season.
Troubled Valladolid, who are 16th in the standings and one point above the relegation zone, on Monday parted ways with Jose Rojo Pacheta after they were thrashed 6-0 by champions Real Madrid on Sunday.
The 39-year-old Pezzolano arrived from Cruzeiro, who like Valladolid are owned by former Brazil striker Ronaldo, after helping them return to Brazil's Serie A by winning the second-tier title in 2022.
Before that he managed Mexican Liga MX side Pachuca from 2019-2021.
