Sebastian Beccacece has been named new coach of Elche.

The Argentine takes charge after the dismissal of Pablo Machin yesterday.

Beccacece takes the job after being sacked by Sevilla this morning as Jorge Sampaoli's assistant. Sampaoli was also shown the door.

The 42 year-old has past senior coaching experience with Defensa y Justicia, Independiente and Racing de Avellaneda.

Elche are currently rock bottom of the LaLiga table.
