Osasuna seeks coach: Braulio Vázquez narrows list to four. The club's sports director is in the process of choosing the coach who will replace Alessio Lisci. Although no smoke signals are expected until next week, the list of candidates is becoming increasingly reduced. In the current moment, it is four. Among them is Catalan Carles Martínez, who has closed his cycle in Toulouse, but there are three other coaches whose names have not been disclosed. There are contractual situations with some of them that are pending to be known. In that already narrowed agenda, there appear coaches who have experience in First Division. Braulio is sifting through the options, knowing that Carles Martínez has already made a good impression and demonstrated a good knowledge of Osasuna when he had a meeting with him a year ago. The club is aware that Rayo Vallecano has also set its sights on this coach, who was in Barcelona's youth academy and has done a more than dignified job in France. The entity has taken a more direct path than in the last two years, when it knew with sufficient time that both Jagoba Arrasate and Vicente Moreno had taken the decision not to continue. Arrasate announced his decision in March and from then on, a wide range of candidates opened up, which finally narrowed down to two names, Rubi and Vicente Moreno. Last season, the latter also anticipated his decision not to continue, when he received an offer from Qatar that he considered irrechazable. There were still a few days left for the league to end and Osasuna was not clear if it would continue or not. Months before, it had offered Iñigo Pérez a three-year contract that the now Navarrese coach of Villarreal rejected to continue growing in Vallecas. Braulio focused on several coaches and ultimately, a trio was formed with Antonio Hidalgo, Carles Martínez and Alessio Lisci. The brilliant year of the Italian in Mirandés ended up deciding the decision, announced when the playoff of ascension ended in June. Lisci was not discussed six months ago in Osasuna, which did not contemplate breaking his contract at zero cost if it stayed below the 11th place in the classification. But the team's fall and that disappointing salvation made take the decision of the change of coach, and stop the negative trend for the next season. Braulio did not move a pawn until after announcing the dismissal on Monday, May 25. From there, the calls began, like the one made to Imanol Alguacil, who conveyed that his desire is a team that plays in Europe.
