JAKARTA - The Spanish club Malaga finally sacked coach Victor Sanchez on Saturday, January 11 local time. This is related to the circulation of sexual videos involving Sanchez on the internet.
Earlier on Tuesday, the 43-year-old former Real Madrid and Spain winger was suspended by Malaga. Now, the club says the two sides could not achieve a "friendly breakup".
"The Malaga Football Club has made the decision to sack Victor Sanchez del Amo for disciplinary reasons," in a statement Malaga revealed on their official website.
"Malaga has made its decision taking into account the serious damage caused to the institution by recent events, which aims to minimize the impact on the team and the whole organization.
"Until a new coach is appointed, Sergio Pellicer will act as the first team coach."

According to Football Espana, Sanchez has responded to the appearance of the video by claiming he was a victim of blackmail.
"The problem is being handled by the police," he said. "Sharing or disseminating intimate content from anyone without consent is a crime."
Sanchez was appointed by the Costa del Sol club in April. He successfully maintained Malaga's status as a second division club despite heavy financial constraints and off-field turmoil.
Malaga, who failed to promote to La Liga last season, are 16th in Spain's second division league of 22 teams.
As a player, Sanchez's name was known when he played for seven seasons at Deportivo La Coruna. During 11 seasons playing in La Liga, he collected 49 goals in 350 games and seven titles.
