Ionuț Radu's coach made the decision, even during the competitive break » He signed the contract

Under the command of Giraldez, Ionuț Radu became a key man in the gear of Celta Vigo, starting every match in La Liga and one of the most appreciated players in the squad.

In the last match with the club team, Ionuț Radu suffered an injury that made him uncertain for the match against Turkey, in the World Cup qualifier. He eventually made the squad and played in Istanbul, as well as a half in Tuesday night's 0-2 loss to Slovakia.

Ionuț Radu's coach extended the contract

“Celta Club has reached an agreement with Claudio Giráldez to extend his contract as head coach of the first team until June 2028, thus ensuring the continuity of a project that continues to generate excitement every season.

The club's commitment to the Galician technician is the result of an impeccable track record since taking over the Celta technical bench in March 2024. During this period, the first team progressed, establishing themselves in important positions in LaLiga and returning to European competitions, where they once again competed with personality, reaching, for the time being, the quarter-finals of the UEL.

This evolution was accompanied by a clear playing identity and a firm dedication to the A Madroa academy. Homegrown players have been given a prominent role in a club model supported by the bench, where the entire staff, also made up of people brought up at the club, will also renew their contracts.

Through this agreement, Celta and Claudio Giráldez continue to develop together on a path that will certainly make history for the club,” Celta Vigo said in an official statement on the club's website.
