Celta extend Giraldez until June 2028 before Valencia clash | OneFootball

Celta have extended head coach Claudio Giráldez’s contract until June 2028, the club said in a statement, with the news landing ahead of a testing LaLiga meeting with Valencia.

Since taking over in March 2024, Giráldez has reshaped the Vigo side in results and playing identity. Under him, Celta have secured prominent league positions and sealed a notable return to European competition.

The renewal underlines a model built on coherence, homegrown talent and a recognisable style. The Galician coach has leaned on A Madroa’s academy, promoting youngsters into first-team rhythm and trusting them in high-stakes moments.

That approach has carried into the UEFA Europa League, where Celta have reached the quarter-finals while playing with ambition against elite opponents. The entire coaching staff will continue alongside Giráldez, strengthening a collective, long-term project anchored in stability.

The impact has been immediate and sustained, with Celta moving from battling survival to becoming serious contenders for European spots. Their growth is seen both in the table and in a dynamic, competitive idea that has reconnected with supporters.

The new deal to 2028 offers planning certainty and continuity for a project with clear horizons. With Valencia next, Celta approach the future with optimism and the sense they are on the right path.
