Following Friday's defeat in Vitoria, Gonzalez accepted the loss would probably mean the end of his two years at Cadiz, where he had twice helped the club avoid relegation, despite one of the lowest budgets in La Liga.

"I want to thank the players for all this time and let's see what happens. Today was one extra chance that we earn, but I have to thank the boys for what can happen from now on," he said.

The early favorite to replace Gonzalez is Spartak Moscow coach Guille Abascal, with others such as former Granada and Espanyol coach, Diego Martinez and former Almeria boss, Joan Ferrer 'Rubi' turning the job down.
