Mohamed was appointed on a two-year deal in May but lasted only 13 games at Balaidos, winning just three times.

The defeat to Madrid proved to be the final straw for the Celta hierarchy, which confirmed that Mohamed would not continue in the role.

Minutes later, the club confirmed the appointment of former Nantes boss Cardoso as its new manager.

Cardoso's first match will come against Real Sociedad on 26 November.
