Sporting de Gijón Still Without Coach, Larcamón Negotiations Ongoing

Sporting de Gijón has not confirmed a head coach for the 2026‑27 season. Negotiations with current coach Larcamón remain unsettled, and the club faces an economic gap caused by a Brazilian offer. The Brazilian offer, reportedly directed at Larcamón, creates a financial disparity that the club has yet to bridge. This gap has delayed any final agreement on his contract extension. In response, Sporting de Gijón has identified Diego Martínez as an alternative option. Martínez is described as the club’s plan B should talks with Larcamón collapse. The uncertainty leaves the Asturian side without a definitive manager as preseason approaches. The club must decide quickly to ensure stability for the upcoming campaign. Sporting’s board is weighing the financial implications of retaining Larcamón against the potential cost of appointing Martínez. Both options carry distinct budgetary considerations. A decision is expected before the start of the 2026‑27 season, with the club aiming to announce its coaching appointment in the coming weeks. The outcome will shape Sporting de Gijón’s preparations for the new campaign.
