Sergio Mallo and Manu Etayo chosen to replace Toni Malla
The board of Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto has decided to place its faith in first-team assistant coach Sergio Mallo and bring in Manu Etayo as his assistant to replace Toni Malla. The latter will in turn become head coach of the Primera Nacional reserve team, combining both roles.

In this way, Mallo's youth is balanced by the experience of a women's handball legend who is fully integrated into the city following her time at Balonmano Morvedre.
The development of young talents is guaranteed by a coach of Etayo's experience, having spent decades developing young players who go on to join first teams.
The red-and-white club's project remains unchanged and continues along its established roadmap regarding the Plata team, whose sole objective is promotion to the top tier of Spanish handball.
The rest of the coaching staff will remain unchanged, with Carlos Greses continuing to oversee the physical department and Vicent Sanchís responsible for specific goalkeeper training and scouting.
The new staff will get under way this Saturday with a double session, and again on Sunday, to prepare for the return to competition after the Christmas break. They will visit the leaders, Cajasol Sevilla BM Proin, next Saturday the 17th from 20:30 at the Centro Deportivo Amate.
