Deportivo La Coruna have appointed Fernando Vazquez as the club's new manager.

Vazquez, 58, replaces Domingos Paciencia, who resigned earlier on Monday.

Depor have given Vazquez a contract until the end of the season, but the deal will automatically renew for a further year if the Spanish outfit avoid relegation.

"I am happy for this chance with Deportivo," said Vazquez. "I know this is a difficult time, but I am sure that nothing is impossible and the idea now is to win eight games."

Depor currently sit bottom of the La Liga table, six points from safety.
