Valencia CF Vs Getafe CF: Bordalas Returns To Mestalla For A Direct Duel In The Race For A European Place
UEFA Europa League: Matches between Valencia CF and Getafe CF have been particularly vibrant in recent years. There have been several high-voltage encounters between these two teams who have been competing for similar objectives in recent seasons, and the intensity of these clashes has given rise to a unique rivalry.
Ahead of this weekend’s duel, Jose Bordalas will undoubtedly be at the centre. Born in Alicante, the province next to Valencia, the coach who just turned 60 has become one of the most high-profile figures in Spanish football.
After spending most of his managerial career in the dugouts of more modest clubs, he achieved his first promotion to LaLiga level with Deportivo Alaves in 2016, even if he wasn’t kept on for that project for the following season. But, after he got the call from Getafe CF, who had just gone down to the second tier and were struggling, the rest is history.
