Luís Castro, who achieved the remarkable feat of securing Levante's LaLiga survival, is attracting interest from several European clubs, reports Sport. His excellent season has put him on the radar of teams in France, Greece, Italy, and also Portugal.
The Portuguese manager arrived at the Orriols-based club midway through the season, facing an extremely adverse situation. The team was in the relegation zone and was a prime candidate for the drop. The coach, who had come from a stint at Nantes where he faced harsh criticism from the club's president, responded on the pitch with hard work and results.
The Portuguese coach's impact was immediate. Luís Castro managed to restore confidence in the dressing room and, through an extraordinary run of good results, especially in the final stretch of the season, he turned around a situation that few believed was possible, securing their place in the top flight of Spanish football.
This notable performance has not gone unnoticed. According to the same source, concrete offers have arrived in recent weeks from clubs such as Saint-Étienne, which has since appointed Ian Cathro from Estoril, and Nice, which narrowly avoided relegation in France. There have also been inquiries from Italy, Greece, and Portugal, although no other club names were mentioned.
Despite the interest, there is a belief at Levante that Luís Castro's initial intention is to remain with the project. The manager maintains an excellent relationship with the club, which, in turn, is extremely satisfied with his work. However, an offer from a top-tier project, considered "too good to refuse," could lead the coach to consider a move.
