MADRID, Spain - Getafe reappointed coach Jose Bordalas on Saturday to try and help the team escape relegation from La Liga.
The Madrid minnows had announced Friday that sporting director Ruben Reyes was going to take charge of the team after local media reported Bordalas had rejected the job.
Later reports said president Angel Torres had convinced Bordalas to return.
"The coach from Alicante returns to what is his home," said Getafe in a statement.
"As Azulon coach, he took charge of 212 games between 2016 and 2021, in that time achieving promotion to the top flight and qualifying for the Europa League." The Spanish side sacked coach Quique Sanchez Flores on Thursday following a home loss to Almeria and are without a win in five league games. They fell into the bottom three when Valencia won on Thursday evening.
