Real Mallorca have a preliminary deal with Gregorio Manzano that will see him return for a third coaching stint at the struggling La Liga club following Monday's sacking of Jaoquin Caparros.
.
'' RCD Mallorca have come to an agreement in principle with Gregorio Manzano for him to take charge of the first team '', Mallorca said in a statement on their website.
.
Manzano would be presented to the media at the club's iberostar stadium on Tuesday, they added.
.
Mallorca dismissed Caparros after a poor run of form left the Balearic Islanders one place from bottom with just half of the season played.
.
They made a strong start to their campaign, winning three and drawing two of their opening five matches, but their form dropped and Sunday's defeat at Real Sociedad was the final straw for the club's board.
