He will be in charge this weekend for the clash with Athletic Bilbao and Marca says management are now leaning towards Rubio remaining in place for the remainder of the season.

As such, inside the club's academy system, Manu Olivas moves from the Juvenil A to the reserve team and the ex-footballer Sisi takes the reins of the División de Honor team after having started this season with the Juvenil B.

Rubio will have 14 games to keep Valladolid in the LaLiga. They are currently bottom of the table, eight points from safety.
