José Bordalás will not continue on the Getafe bench, and the Madrid club is clear about his replacement. The chosen one is José Luis Mendilibar. The Basque coach is the first option, at the moment, to take charge of Getafe. After the Biscayan coach has not achieved salvation with Eibar, now the doors of the Madrid club are open to him. The talks have already started and there has been a good tune.
Bordalás had one more year of contract with Getafe, but his future passes through Valencia, a club with which he has already reached an agreement. That vacancy left by the Alicante coach has given rise to several rumors about his possible candidate, but at the moment the best positioned is Mendilibar, who has the approval of the Azulón president. The Granada coach, Diego Martínez, is another of the names that have been linked to the Getafense bench, but the Galician coach's option has lost options due to his doubts, so Mendilibar has become the main candidate to occupy the bench at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum.
Mendilibar is one of the most experienced active coaches in the elite of Spanish football. Not in vain, he has directed in the First division Valladolid, Athletic, Osasuna and Eibar, with a total of 436 games. If the contacts with Ángel Torres bear fruit, Getafe will be his fifth team as a coach in the highest category of Spanish football. The Basque led Eibar for the last six seasons, but this campaign has not been able to lead him to maintain the category.
