Since February 2024, Rayo Vallecano has been under the management of Iñigo Pérez, who was initially considered a temporary figure until the end of the season. However, the results achieved by the 36-year-old Spaniard satisfied the club’s management, leading to an extension of his contract for another year. Despite his young age, Pérez confidently fulfilled his duties and managed to keep Rayo in La Liga.
The decision to extend his contract might also be related to the club’s limited financial resources. The team started the new season in excellent physical condition, allowing them to secure points through a physical style of play in an away match against a strong Real Sociedad. However, such a strategy might not be sustainable in the long run. In the last round, “Los Franjirrojos” played an away match against Getafe, which was low on goal-scoring opportunities (0:1) and ended in a 0:0 draw.
Since July 1, Barcelona has been led by German coach Hansi Flick, known for his work with Bayern Munich and the German national team. During the preseason, the Catalans played five friendly matches, securing victories against Olot, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, but losing to AC Milan and AS Monaco.
In the first round of the 2024/25 La Liga season, Barcelona secured a narrow yet confident 2:1 victory over Valencia at “Mestalla,” thanks to a brace from Robert Lewandowski. Last weekend, the Blaugrana hosted Athletic Bilbao and claimed three points with another 2:1 win.
