Rayo Vallecano coach Jose Ramon Sandoval acrobatically stops Diego taking a quick throw
By all accounts Rayo Vallecano coach Jose Ramon Sandoval is a bit of a nutter.
You would have to be to coach a team with minimal resources in La Liga and Sandoval is even being sued by his own employers.
(An excellent article by Sid Lowe on Rayo and their coach is here.)
On Sunday night Rayo Vallecano went down to a 1-0 home defeat to Atletico Madrid and Sandoval attracted attention late on in the game as he acrobatically stopped Diego from taking a quick throw for the opposition.
Somehow, Sandoval got away with just a word from the referee. It’s difficult to see Sir Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger pulling something like this off!
