MADRID, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Jose Bordalas has agreed a new contract with Getafe after leading the club into European competition last season.
The 64-year-old has signed a two-year deal that will keep him at the club until the end of June 2028, after earlier uncertainty over his future amid difficulties in reaching an agreement with Getafe president Angel Torres.
In a statement announcing the agreement, Getafe described Bordalas as "one of the most important figures in the recent history of the club."
Bordalas began his second spell at Getafe in 2023, guiding the team away from the relegation zone. Last season, he led the club to an impressive seventh-place finish in La Liga, securing qualification for the UEFA Conference League despite operating with one of the division's lowest budgets.
He had previously managed Getafe between 2016 and 2021, first leading the club to promotion from the second division before consistently steering it clear of relegation trouble in subsequent seasons.
One player Bordalas will not be able to rely on next season is defender Juan Iglesias, who on Thursday was announced as Sevilla's second signing of the summer after Jon Guridi joined the club a day earlier. ■
