- Marcelino quits Racing post
Racing Santander coach Marcelino Garcia Toral has confirmed his decision to quit the club following the end of the La Liga season.
The highly-rated Spanish tactician has been linked with a host of top jobs - and in particular Valencia - after guiding unfancied Racing to sixth place in the league this season.
Marcelino had suggested in March that his tenure at El Sardinero would only last one season.
"Two months ago I met with the president and I told him, with plenty of notice, that I wouldn't be continuing with the team," he confirmed.
"I wanted to seek the chance to coach a bigger side with a greater chance of winning trophies - one of the so-called big clubs.
"That was the idea and I'll go through with it."
