Sotelo: “Luis Castro is willing to take on any player, I like him a lot as a coach”

On August 26, Levante midfielder Hugo Sotelo expressed strong support for his coach, Luís Castro, highlighting the manager's philosophy of placing trust in players regardless of their name, salary, or age. Sotelo stated that this inclusive approach convinced him and played a decisive role in his decision.

Simultaneously, in a separate development reported on August 26 in Andorra La Vella, international goalkeeper Jesús Owono completed a free transfer from Alavés to Andorra. The 25-year-old from Bata signed a two-year contract with an option for two additional years, running until 2029, while Alavés retained a 50 percent future sale clause after Owono found himself without a secure spot at his previous club.
