Gorosito named new Almeria coach

Nestor Gorosito has been named new coach of Almeria.

The Argentine succeeds Juan Manuel Lillo, who was sacked in the aftermath of their 8-0 thrashing by Barcelona.

Gorosito was in charge of Xerez last season.

Almeria president Alfonso Garcia turned to Gorosito after receiving knockbacks from Marcelino and Diego Simeone.
