Getafe have appointed Quique Sanchez Flores as their new manager following the departure of Cosmin Contra.

Contra took charge of his final Getafe match at the weekend, with the Spanish side losing 2-1 at home to capital rivals Rayo Vallecano.

The Spaniard has moved on to Chinese side Guangzhou R&F, but Getafe have not taken long to appoint a replacement.

Flores began his managerial career with Real Madrid's youth teams, before being chosen to lead Getafe in their maiden La Liga season back in 2004.

The 49-year-old has also had managerial spells with Valencia, Benfica, Atletico Madrid and latterly Al-Ain.
