Paco Jemez's position is already in danger at Granada

The defeat against Athletic has handed the coach his worst ever start in the top flight

Paco Jemez is beginning to lose support at Granada after earning just two points in his opening five matches. 

The defeat against Athletic Club once again revealed evidence that the team, who have conceded the most goals in LaLiga, is not responding to the expectations on the pitch. 

Granada hung in against Ernesto Valderde's side thanks to goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and could even have won the game, but their immaturity was on show as they ended up losing 2-1. 

The two games before the international break, away at Alaves and at home to Leganes, could be decisive for Jemez's future, keeping in mind they are direct rivals for relegation. 

Signed by Granada after he left Rayo Vallecano, expectations were high with new owners at the club, but they are not hiding their disappointment at how the season's begun. 

It's Jemez's worst start as a manager in Spain's top flight, worse than the three points Rayo accrued at the start of the 2013-14 season.
