ANDn just over a week and saying goodbye to this year, the Rayo Vallecano’s bench will remain on the wire for next season. The current tenant and alma mater of the great revelation of La Liga, Andoni Iraola, ends its contractual relationship with the franjirrojo group in June 2022 and he will be free from January to negotiate with whoever he deems appropriate. To the ex-winger, yes, totally focused on sports he is not overly concerned with plans for the future.
After a very busy summer period, Andoni and his coaching staff renewed for just one campaign after promote the team to First Division. Presumably both the technician and his assistants wanted sign two years (probably with an optional one), but the Madrid board of directors opted for a single year after having been discussed at some point in the previous season when the strip did not fuel.
On the horizon, unsurprisingly, is the Athletic de Bilbao. In full election year for the Biscayan entity, Iraola can be a winning trick against a possible voting as a myth of the club – captain for a long time and fourth player with the most games (510) just behind José Ángel Iribar, Txetxu Rojo and Joseba Etxeberria-. Even without urns, the Usurbil could be a viable option for replace Marcelino.
