Flores reveals he is leaving
Atletico Madrid coach Quique Sanchez Flores has confirmed that he will be leaving his role at the end of the season.
Atletico were looking for a Champions League finish at a minimum this term, but that is now beyond them.
Flores, who was appointed in October 2009, had major success last term winning the Europa League and making the Copa del Rey final.
But this season has been a disappointment with Atletico knocked out of Europe early on and currently in sixth.
Flores is also understood to have fallen out with leading striker Diego Forlan in recent weeks.
They face Hercules at home on Sunday with the Spaniard telling a press conference: "That will be my final match at the (Vincente) Calderon stadium and I hope I'll be able to control my emotions."
