Osasuna canceled the appointment of Luis Miguel Ramis and brought back Jagoba Arrasate, a new coach signed until 2029. The decision came after a series of disappointing results, including a 5-2 defeat against Betis and a loss of four out of five matches, with only one draw. Arrasate, who led the team for 256 matches, is the second most capped coach in the club's history.
The change of coach was motivated by the precariousness of the season. Osasuna have remained without a win since 31 August, when they won against Getafe, and have accumulated just one point in five subsequent matches. The team occupies 16th position in the La Liga table, three points away from the relegation zone. In addition to the draw against Betis, defeats against Alaves (2-5) and Atletico Madrid (0-4) worsened the situation.
Arrasate, who has already played an important role in the club's history, has been chosen to lead the team into a new phase. The club, which had focused on Ramis after his exit from Burgos, has decided to return to its former coach in view of a restructuring of the team and a search for stability in the league. Arrasate has signed a contract until 2029, confirming Osasuna's intention to build a long-term project.
With the arrival of Arrasate, the club's technical management hopes to reverse the negative spiral and avoid relegation. The next meeting in Osasuna will be crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of the new coach and to try to recover precious points in the La Liga standings.
