At Leganes, the new coach Javier Aguirre continues to improve. Only at the beginning of November was the ex-coach of Atletico Madrid and the Mexican national team to succeed Mauricio Pellegrino.
After twelve game days, the “Pepineros” with five points were still the bottom of the league. The distance to the first non-relegation zone was eight points.
The Club Deportivo has been unbeaten for six competitive games. With this record, the club now has 14 season points and the penultimate place in La Liga. The distance to the saving bank is only one meter.
Under the Mexican coach, Leganes has again become an uncomfortable opponent. There have been two home wins in the league, against Celta de Vigo and Espanyol Barcelona, and two away draws, at Deportivo Alaves and Real Valladolid.
