Awaziem & Omeruo are central to Aguirre's return to prominence at Leganes

The Mexican coach was unceremoniously fired by Egypt in July, and is slowly rebuilding his reputation with the Cucumber Growers

Last Saturday, Real Murcia were the latest side to feel the wrath of a resurgent Leganes, who extended their unbeaten run in all competitions since December to six.

Javier Aguirre’s troops thumped the Segunda Division B side 4-0 at Estadio Nueva Condomina to advance to the third round of the Copa del Rey.

It's an encouraging turn of events for them after an appalling start that saw the Cucumber Growers rooted to the foot of the table after nine games, leading to Mauricio Pellegrino's dismissal on October 21 with the Butarque outfit on a paltry two points.
