Madrid, Nov 13 (AFP) Spanish league strugglers Celta Vigo sacked Argentinian coach Antonio Mohamed and replaced him with Portugal's Miguel Cardoso, the club said Monday.

Mohamed, 48, arrived at Celta in the summer but has registered three wins, five draws and four defeats so far, including a decisive 4-2 defeat to Real Madrid on last weekend.

Mohamed becomes the second Argentinian coach to face the chop from La Liga after Leo Franco was sacked by Huesca.

Cardoso, 46, takes the reins at Celta barely six weeks after being sacked by French Ligue 1 side Nantes, with whom he won just one game, drawing three and losing four in his opening eight games in charge. AFP
