Osasuna identify two leading candidates to replace Jagoba Arrasate | OneFootball

The board at La Liga outfit Osasuna have identified a pair of leading candidates in their search for a replacement for the outbound Jagoba Arrasate.

Beloved Rojillos boss Arrasate is of course all set to move on this summer.

As much comes with the Spaniard having come to the decision not to renew his expiring contract in Pamplona.

Those in a position of power at Osasuna, as a result, have been forced to kickstart efforts to bring in a new tactician, with a view to the 2024/25 campaign.

And, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, it would appear that two such managers have positioned themselves clear of the competition.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, citing Relevo, Rubi and Vicente Moreno are the pair in question.

Both Rubi and Moreno currently find themselves out of work. Not only that, but, interestingly, both were sent packing by the same club last year, in the form of Almería.

With Alavés mastermind Luis García Plaza now off the market after renewing his contract, Rubi and Moreno are considered the best alternatives, with negotiations with the pair expected to continue over the days ahead, before one is unveiled as the latest installation on the bench at El Sadar next week.
