Osasuna has kicked off the 2026/27 pre-season with Luis Miguel Ramis as the new manager, taking over from Alessio Lisci after a turbulent campaign that ended in survival at Getafe on May 23. The team, which finished the season with 11 wins, 9 draws and 18 losses (42 points, 17th in La Liga and five consecutive defeats), begins its preparation at the Tajonar facilities with an open training session for members, now numbering over 20,100 season ticket holders.
Who is Osasuna’s new manager?
Luis Miguel Ramis, 55, arrives in Pamplona after his stint at Burgos with a two-year contract. The Tarragona-born coach inherits a squad weakened by the departures of Juan Cruz, Javi Galán and Víctor Muñoz, the latter a 2026 World Cup participant, and must connect with Osasuna’s identity to restore the lost direction. Ramis makes his La Liga debut after a career in Segunda División, where he left his mark at Burgos, and takes charge with the mission of returning Osasuna to a path of stability.
No signings yet, but a clear project
The Navarrese club has opted for caution in the summer market and, for now, has not signed any outfield players. The main novelty has been the managerial change, while the team trains at Tajonar with 26 available players, except Ante Budimir, who is resting after his World Cup participation. The club, which earned nearly €20 million from the sale of Juan Cruz, is targeting selective reinforcements and will not rush, aware that the market is heating up and other teams may be forced to sell.
Pre-season with UK tour and return of the Ciudad de Pamplona
Osasuna’s preparation includes a friendly against Racing de Santander on July 29, before traveling to the UK to face Norwich City and Ipswich Town. A possible clash with Napoli and the return of the old Ciudad de Pamplona tournament, where Osasuna will face Al Ain from the UAE, is also on the cards. The pre-season begins with the presence of players like Unai Santos, Miguel Auría and Rafa Fernández, on loan from the youth team, as the side seeks to regain rhythm after a season to forget.
Osasuna closed the campaign with five straight defeats and a goal record of 44 scored and 50 conceded (a -6 difference), 52 points behind leaders Barcelona. The Navarrese side, which lost 1-0 at Getafe on May 23, faces the new season needing to turn around a tough start and rediscover the identity that once had them dreaming of Europe.
