Javier Aguirre met with Pablo Ortells on Wednesday morning to find out about his future at the club. The sports director officially informed the Mexican coach that there won’t be a contract renewal, as the club is looking to make a change in the managerial position for the upcoming season. This decision comes after Aguirre returned to the island from a brief break and is gearing up to face Getafe in their last league match on this afternoon.
The meeting with Ortells took place just after Aguirre’s return and before he began preparing for the final game against Getafe, which will also mark his last match as Mallorca’s coach. The club has been ready to bid farewell to Aguirre, with Jagoba Arrasate expected to take over, as reported by MARCA on May 15th. Arrasate was chosen for his successful track record at Osasuna, his focus on developing young talent, and the stability he has brought to his previous teams.
Mallorca has been grateful for Aguirre’s two-and-a-half years of service, which included three successful seasons ensuring the team’s stay in the top flight and reaching the final of the Copa del Rey after 21 years. The club sees a promising future with Arrasate at the helm, hoping to continue their development of young players and aim for further successes in both domestic and international competitions.
