Iñigo Pérez and his memories

Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano, tied on points, meet in El Sadar with different sensations. The Rojillos still have the euphoria of progressing to the Cup quarterfinals in their bodies, an enthusiasm that they must contain, since in the League they have already accumulated seven games without winning and need to rediscover victory. The Vallecanos fell clearly in the Cup against Real, but they are on a good track in the regularity tournament (follow the game live on As.com).

At the head of the Madrid team, an old acquaintance, Iñigo Pérez. The Navarrese, former Osasuna player between 2019 and 2022, the year in which he retired, returns home to sit on the visiting bench. When the decision made by Jagoba Arrasate not to continue in Osasuna became known, the rojillo club considered many names and among them was that of Iñigo Pérez. Finally, the one chosen to take charge of the Navarrese team this season was Vicente Moreno, who is doing a good job with the red team. The Valencian signed for a single season and to date there is no evidence that the club has made him any offer to renew.

For its part, Iñigo Pérez ends his contract with Rayo in June and who knows if next season he will be the one who sits on the Osasuna bench to lead the team that occupies part of his heart. Without a doubt, his profile adapts to the philosophy of the Pamplona club. A man of the house who has deeply internalized the values ​​of the rojillo team, having been part of it as a player. “I’m from there, I’ve played there and in the run-up this bond is always generated. It’s going to be strange to face El Sadar as head coach. I hope luck and the result change but it is special to return home, I am an Osasunista,” he confesses.
