Leganés overhauls its project with a new squad and coach

Leganés has moved fast to change its reality after a season that nearly slipped away. According to MARCA, the turning point came when 885 Capital took control of the club and launched a new phase led by Eduardo Cosín, with Andrés Pardo driving an intense sporting direction plan in Butarque.

From survival to ambition

The piece recalls that the team was close to the relegation zone and had to fight for its place to the very end, including a decisive stretch that went right down to the wire against Mirandés. From there, the club has tried to reset both the blueprint and the personnel, betting that the margin to compete improves with a renovated roster.

The same rebuild has also meant numerous departures, including players linked to loan moves and returns. The article names Jorge Sáenz, Cissé, Miguel San Román, Óscar Plano, Asué, Duk, Diego García, Juan Cruz, Figueredo, Guirao, Juan Soriano, Miguel de la Fuente, Gueye, Javi Hernández, Pauwels, Gøthler, Roberto López and Gonzalo Melero, among other movements.

Rubén Albés sets the tone

Beyond signings, Leganés also has a new coach: Rubén Albés, who—per the report—is expected to give the team clearer identity and personality. The article closes by noting that while the market does not automatically deliver results, Leganés has made the step it could take: it has changed, invested and shown ambition. It also hints that, with two squad slots still free, they may yet be hunting for one more piece to complete the transformation.
