MADRID (Reuters) - Alaves sacked coach Luis Zubeldia on Sunday after failing to score in their opening four La Liga matches, suffering only defeats including a 3-0 home thrashing by Villarreal earlier in the day. "Deportivo Alaves have decided to sack the Albiazul coach after the results obtained at the start of the season. For the moment Javier Cabello (an assistant coach) will take charge of the first team," said Alaves in a statement. "We are grateful to Luis Zubeldia for the work undertaken in this period and we wish him the best of luck in his professional future." Alaves were beaten by Leganes, Barcelona and Celta Vigo before another defeat at Mendizorroza by Villarreal sealed the coach's fate.
