Real Valladolid has reached an agreement with Javi Baraja to extend his contract as coach of the reserve team until 2028. In this way, the Valladolid coach will continue at the helm of the reserve team until June 30, 2028. The renewal represents a vote of confidence in the work done by Baraja during the recently completed campaign, in which he returned to the bench of the Promesas to lead one of the youngest teams in the category. The team had to fight until the last matches to secure permanence in Segunda Federación, a goal that was achieved after a notable reaction in the second half of the championship. After a difficult start, the reserve team experienced a clear improvement in their performance and became the third best team in the second half, allowing them to arrive with options for salvation in the last match and finally certify their continuity in the category. With this agreement, the blanquivioleta entity continues a project based on the development of young footballers and the consolidation of a block with a future projection. The club also maintains its confidence in the technical staff led by Baraja, who will continue working with a team that is expected to become one of the pillars of the Valladolid youth academy in the coming years. Born in the Las Delicias neighborhood and deeply linked to Real Valladolid, Javi Baraja will face a new stage at the helm of the Promesas with the challenge of continuing to drive the sporting growth of the young talents of the club and consolidating the reserve team in Segunda Federación.
