The Spanish Segunda Show

We are delighted to be able to offer up another interview with one of the protagonists of Segunda. Awer Mabil of CD Castellón talks to Liam and gives one of the most compelling personal stories we have heard behind his football journey. From a refugee camp to Australia and then a European tour culminating in his arrival in Segunda at CD Castellón. Awer is a positive, interesting and incredibly eng...

This week we saw none of the top four win and bizarrely Racing Santander still extended their lead at the top, we have the unexpected departure of not one but TWO Segunda coaches, one of them after winning 3-0 away from home, and sparks flew in the post match press conferences with Pacheta of Granada CF and Luis Garcia of UD Las Palmas particularly unhappy with what had happened off rather than on...

This week we saw multiple changes and multiple cup disasters for Segunda sides, another Segunda coach lost his job, it was home sour home as at the time of recording we have seen NO Home wins in any of the 11 Segunda games of the MD Racing Santander went outright top with a stunning remontada and CD Castellon showed us they are here to stay with a statement win in Riazor.  In Part 2 we cover Racin...

This weekend in Segunda the automatic promotion chasers at the top separated out a little, for now at least, as two won and two dropped points. CD Castellon and Ceuta have catapulted themselves into top 6 contention with a string of results, whilst down the bottom, 9 points adrift just a few weeks ago, Real Zaragoza are now just 3 from safety following 3 wins in a row. We aim to pack as much of th...

We are honoured to have been given the opportunity to interview Córdoba CF goalkeeper Iker Álvarez.

This weekend in Segunda the teams at the top continued to set a blistering pace as 4 of the top 5 won. We also saw Segunda become the European leader in managerial sacking as Pellicer left at Malaga and Ibai Gomez of Andorra was also given his marching orders, with a few more on the brink. We even saw a second victory in two weeks for Real Zaragoza, with ten men. In part 2 of this week's show we h...

This weekend in Segunda the Race for the top spots really heated up as we ended the weekend with just one point covering the top five teams. It was also a weekend of Derbis with an Andaluce derbi, an Aragonese Derbi and the Derbi of Burgos all taking place. We also have two coaches making their dugout debuts with their new sides and a third taking charge of his first game as permanent coach. Why w...

Liam and Alex start the show on a sombre note to mark the sad scenes that took place with the death of a supporter in Ceuta.

Match day 12 saw us lose our 6th coach of the season as Fran Justo at Mirandes got his marching orders with the club seemingly going from boom to bust, Ramis’s Burgos just keep delivering as they won in Butarque to move up to third, late late drama in Castellon as the host scored twice in stoppage time to come from behind and beat Malaga, Cultural Leonesa finally got that first home win, Ceuta con...
