Former reserve team coach Jose Aurelio Gay will remain in charge of Real Zaragoza until the end of the season.

Gay took charge of first-team affairs at La Romareda earlier this month following the sacking of Marcelino, with his first game at the helm ending in a 6-0 thrashing by Real Madrid.

However, a club statement confirmed: "Jose Aurelio Gay is going to remain the coach of Real Zaragoza's first team for the rest of the season.

"The coach has told the club's board he feels able to overcome the team's current position.

"Real Zaragoza have held discussions and interviews with several coaches and the arguments of Jose Aurelio Gay, an in-house coach, were the ones that have convinced the club."
