Muriqi left without a coach as Arrasate is sacked

Mallorca have sacked coach Jagoba Arrasate after poor results this season in Spain’s La Liga.

The Spanish club said in a statement that Arrasate’s departure would pave the way for a new chapter aimed at securing their survival in Spain’s top flight.

“Mallorca wishes to publicly thank Jagoba Arrasate and his entire technical staff for their work, professionalism and commitment during his time in charge of the team. Their daily dedication and exemplary conduct have always been in keeping with what this institution represents. The club wishes you all the best, both personally and professionally, in your future projects,” Mallorca’s statement reads.

Kosovo striker Vedat Muriqi is Mallorca’s leading player.

He has scored 16 goals and has now reached the 50-goal mark in La Liga in a Mallorca shirt.

He is the second-highest goalscorer in the club’s history. Only Samuel Eto’o has scored more, with 54 goals.
