Sevilla have fired coach Marcelino García Toral after the 46-year-old failed to halt a run of disappointing results.

Marcelino, who took charge last summer following the departure of Gregorio Manzano, leaves with Sevilla 11th in the standings and just four points above the relegation zone.

We've got to post a quick recap of what we watched this past weekend but first, very briefly, here are two games today that you could tune in for, in case you're looking for something to watch this afternoon/evening (depending on your timezone):

African Cup of Nations, Côte d'Ivoire vs Angola (1pmET, Al-Jazeera Sports / Eurosport International): The group stage of AfCON2012 wraps up over the next couple days.

Diego Simeone says he is unfazed by the prospect of turning around Atletico Madrid's faltering season after being formally unveiled as their new coach.

The former Argentina captain was named as the replacement for the sacked Gregorio Manzano on Friday, signing a contract until the end of the 2012/13 campaign.

While the retaining of David Beckham's services remains up in the air for the Los Angeles Galaxy, five other players saw their contract situations get a lot clearer on Friday.

Sean Franklin and Bryan Jordan re-signed with Los Angeles, while Adam Cristman's option was picked up, allowing Bruce Arena to keep key parts of the deep squad that won the 2011 MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield.

Atlético Madrid have named Diego Simeone as their new coach following the dismissal of Gregorio Manzano.

The former Argentina midfielder, 41, scored 23 goals in 134 appearances during two spells at Atlético, winning a domestic double in 1995/96. Simeone moved to Europe to join AC Pisa and then Sevilla FC, signing for Atlético from 1994-97.

Former Argentina captain Diego Simeone has quit as Racing Club coach fanning media speculation he might be in line to take charge of his former club Atletico Madrid.

Gregorio Manzano is fighting for survival at Atletico where the fans are in open revolt against him and the board with the side in mid-table after some wildly erratic performances.

It was Inevitable - Kim Jong Il thought so soo - hahahah.
. In a way, even after Adrian scored the opening goal in last night's El Derbi Madrileno, Madridistas the world over (and perhaps even Rojoblanco supporters) didn't feel too rattled (or euphoric in the case for Atleti supporters).

La Liga heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid will want vast improvement when they host Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano respectively on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho's Real in particular need to buck up their ideas if they are to end Barca's three-year stranglehold on the title after dropping more points in an uninspiring 0-0 draw at Racing Santander in midweek following a shock 1-0 defeat at Levante on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid star Sergio Aguero has arrived in Manchester to complete his reported £40m move to Manchester City.

Aguero said on Twitter:

"Just arrived in Manchester to tie up the details of the signing for City. Everything is going well. I'll tell you more in a little while.

Gregorio Manzano está cada vez más cerca de regresar al banquillo del Atlético de Madrid. El entrenador jienense se encuentra en las instalaciones del Vicente Calderón, junto a su agente Manuel García Quilón, reunido con el director deportivo del conjunto colchonero, Jose Luis Pérez Caminero.
