With just over three days remaining before the clash, Elche CF prepares for a pivotal Monday showdown against Mallorca, under the stewardship of interim coach Alberto Gallego. He is joined on the bench by assistants Nino and Dani Llácer, and their influence is growing stronger as the Balearic side looms large on the horizon. The Franjiverde squad continues to build momentum behind closed doors, sharpening tactics and unity as the calendar tightens toward kickoff.
The team will resume training at the Diego Quiles field on Friday morning, beginning at ten-thirty. Gallego, Nino, and Llácer will continue to shape the plan for the third consecutive day, alongside the rest of the home coaching staff. The adjustment to a new era has been rapid, yet the dynamic on the touchline remains focused and disciplined. With the new coach’s arrival appearing increasingly likely to alter the setup, players are navigating a period of transition that still leaves room for preparation and refinement ahead of the Mallorca match.
Alberto Gallego is treating the Mallorca game as a decisive moment for the club. On Wednesday, he entrusted 45 minutes of the second half of the fixture against Orihuela to Nino and Llácer, a move designed to balance experimentation with reliability. The Catalan coach is cultivating a positive and relaxed atmosphere, even as challenges accumulate off the field. Medical and fitness staff report that the squad is responding to the demands, and Gallego has a rough draft of the starting XI that could line up on Monday, reflecting a strategic blend of experience and form.
There is a clear sense that opportunity could come for several players as the team seeks visible progress in the standings. If Bragarnik finalizes a new managerial hire, the club might seize the moment to accelerate integration or adjust tactics further for the remainder of the season. The football world has seen unexpected twists before, and Elche keeps a vigilant eye on how those changes might translate into performance on the pitch. In the meantime, preparation remains thorough, and the squad is highly motivated to deliver a strong showing against Mallorca, aiming to solidify their positioning and spark a push forward that could reshape their trajectory in the league.
