The Alicante coach, José Bordalás, prioritizes staying at Getafe CF and leading the team in the next Conference League, a European classification that has strengthened his position after another outstanding course in the Coliseum. However, the red-and-white team keeps him on their list for the bench after securing LaLiga survival. According to Diario AS, the conversations between the coach and the blue team continue their course and the atmosphere is now more positive. Meanwhile, CA Osasuna continues pending its future as one of the alternatives for its bench. The problem came in the meeting last Tuesday. His representatives found a lower economic proposal than expected and with changes regarding the conditions that had been working during the season. That cooled the negotiation to the point of situating his departure as the most likely scenario. However, the break was never definitive. During the last days the contacts have continued and the coach himself was at the Coliseum this Sunday to try to approach the positions with the blue entity. The underlying message has not changed: he wants to stay, but with a contract in line with his trajectory and the sporting result obtained. Getafe had prepared a future without Bordalás. In that scenario, the name of Fabio Celestini appeared with a principle of agreement to take over the bench if the Alicante coach finally did not continue. That alternative still exists, but it no longer seems so immediate. The blue team has lowered the tension and the differences have been reduced, although there is still no official agreement. The next hours will be decisive because the contract of Bordalás expires at the end of the month and Getafe needs to resolve as soon as possible its planning. The continuity of the coach also affects directly the market. Several important players have grown under his command and the European classification obliges to build a more extensive squad. Losing the coach in that context would have meant opening a much deeper reconstruction. The situation also interests in Pamplona. Osasuna is looking for a coach and Bordalás is among the valued names to start a new stage in El Sadar. The red-and-white team has already explored his profile, although it knows that the coach's priority is Getafe. For Osasuna, Bordalás would represent a change of energy: strong character, experience in LaLiga and ability to order competitive teams from intensity. His arrival would have an immediate impact, but it would only be viable if he breaks definitively the negotiations with Ángel Torres. For now, the scenario has moved in the opposite direction. What seemed like an announced departure has been transformed into an open negotiation, with real options for continuity.
