José Bordalás will lead his 212th match with Getafe today. Against Granada, except for an unexpected turn, he will sit for the last time on the blue bench. Despite the fact that he still has one more year left on his contract, the paths of Ángel Torres and the Alicante coach are going to separate. Mestalla is seen as the next destination for Bordalás. Valencia wants to close the hiring of the coach at the beginning of the week, who would sign for two seasons.
The negotiation between Valencia and the Bordalás agents have been cooking for weeks. There is still nothing concrete, although it is on track. But Valencia has not yet contacted Getafe. Ángel Torres will not put obstacles in the way of Bordalás, so the Azulón president transmitted it to the coach. The services provided during these five years weigh (including a qualification for the Europa League), although as reported by AS Torres it will try to get some benefit either in the form of a transfer or that Valencia renounces the percentage it has on the capital gain of a future Maksimovic transfer.
Valencia does not want to extend the hiring of the new coach over time. Voro fulfilled his mission to avoid greater evils after a mediocre season for the team. Bordalás fulfills the profile that Anil Murthy said had to be the next tenant of the Mestalla bench, a “leader” and a technician who takes advantage of the players under his command, and with Bordalás will try to recover order and illusion, although the social crisis that Valencia is dragging goes beyond the signing of a coach.
