The coach, who has been at the helm for 333 days since his arrival on July 9th, faces the challenge of returning the club to the top flight of national football. After a regular season in which the team remained in the upper part of the table, the Asturian manager now faces a historic tie for the club, which celebrates its 76th anniversary this year.
Despite criticism received during the campaign regarding his substitution management, the coach has managed to consolidate a solid and pragmatic unit. The team arrives at this fixture with several key players sidelined, but determined to overcome an opponent that has shown a high level of competitiveness throughout the season.
The atmosphere in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one of high anticipation ahead of the first leg. The coaching staff has been working on tactical preparation, maintaining the composure and focus on ball control that has characterized the team under his leadership, as they finalize the starting eleven for the match.
