Racing part company with Fernando Pereira
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.
Match10 Feb 2029
Racing taken apart
0‑3 to Progreso, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Boardroom12 Feb 2029
Racing have nobody left to take training

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Racing
