Despite being on the verge of guiding Getafe to European competition, head coach José Bordalás will not renew his contract, which expires at the end of June, according to Spanish newspaper "Marca." He was reportedly offered a new deal by president Ángel Torres until 2028 but declined.

"I don't deserve what happened this season, I wouldn't wish it on anyone," Pepe Bordalás stated earlier in the calendar year, referencing the club's issues with financial restrictions and salary caps.

Two names are already being floated as potential successors: former Getafe players Fabio Celestini and Veljko Paunović. Swiss international Celestini won a domestic double with Basel a year ago before signing a two-year deal with CSKA Moscow. He would need to terminate his contract with the Russian club to make the move to Madrid, as reported by BTA.

The other option is Serbia's national team coach, Veljko Paunović, who has a clause in his contract allowing him to be released by the Serbian Football Association if he receives an excellent offer from a club team. Veljko's son, Petar, currently plays in Getafe's youth academy.
