José Ángel Ziganda was presented on Tuesday as the new coach of the Asturian club until the end of the current season, with an optional additional season.

The dismissed Rozada, who took over the team in the sixth matchday with Oviedo three points away from safety, leaves it in relegation positions after six wins, ten draws, and seven defeats.

Racing and Deportivo also hired three coaches

Racing de Santander was the second club in LaLiga SmartBank to change coaches for the second time, reaching an agreement to terminate Cristóbal Parralo's contract, who had previously replaced Iván Ania. Now José Luis Oltra is the Santander coach.

Not counting interim coaches, the revived Deportivo is the other team that has had two changes in its coaching staff, as they started the season with Juan Antonio Anquela, who was replaced by Luis César Sampedro, and he handed over to Fernando Vázquez, with whom they have experienced a spectacular comeback.
