Girona’s Pre-Season Strategy in La Garrotxa
Girona returned to work on July 8, and the team moved their operations to the Vall d’en Bas for a concentrated training block. This location, situated in the Garrotxa region near the Puigsacalm massif, has become a staple of the club’s pre-season routine. According to club scheduling, the squad is slated to remain in the area until Saturday to build fitness ahead of the La Liga opener against CD Leganés at Estadi Montilivi in mid-August.
Coaching Stability and Development
While the focus remains on the first team, the club’s broader coaching structure has seen notable developments. Quique Álvarez, who previously managed Girona B in the Segunda RFEF, has taken on an expanded role within the organization. Recently celebrating his 51st birthday, Álvarez has transitioned into a key position within the primary staff, working closely with Míchel to maintain the high standards that guided the club to its current standing in Spanish football.
The choice to spend his birthday in the Garrotxa, rather than with family, highlights the intensity of the current training phase. With the team aiming to build upon the momentum from the previous year, the staff is prioritizing the training environment, utilizing the facilities at the Royalverd Training Center to ensure players are physically prepared for the demands of the 2024-2025 season.
