UD Almería ‘in advanced talks’ with García Pimienta, Rubi still under contract

UD Almería are progressing plans for next season and are in advanced talks with García Pimienta to take charge, Diario de Almería reports. The Catalan coach is the leading candidate to become head coach.

Any agreement still hinges on Rubi’s contract. The current coach has one year remaining, and García Pimienta’s arrival is contingent on a termination deal.

The sporting department believes his profile fits the style the club want to implement. He has stood out for a possession game, prominence with the ball and the development of young players.

While Rubi’s situation is addressed, negotiations are continuing to progress and optimism is growing on both sides.

If finalised, Almería would start a new chapter in the dugout with one of the most sought-after coaches in the national market.
