Burgos CF kicked off pre‑season on July 8 under Sergio Francisco, with 24 players training at the Ciudad Deportiva. The coach highlighted the squad’s readiness and the upcoming arrival of Víctor Mollejo next week.

What did the first session reveal?

The coaching staff noted an atmosphere of enthusiasm and commitment. Captains Curro Sánchez and Grego Sierra delivered the continuity message, reminding that much of last season’s core remains. Additionally, reserve‑team players trained alongside the first‑team, receiving equal treatment.

How does Florian Miguel’s departure impact the side?

Florian Miguel announced his exit after two seasons, leaving a defensive gap. However, Oier Luengo signed an extension and will stay at El Plantío, providing experience at the back. The loss is offset by new signings that, according to the manager, will settle quickly.

What are the project’s goals?

Sergio Francisco stressed the need to build on the momentum of the previous year, when the club gathered 72 points and missed the playoff by a narrow margin. The aim is to keep the defensive solidity that made them one of the most reliable sides in the division while adding offensive firepower.

What’s the current league standing?

Burgos CF currently sits seventh in Segunda División with 72 points (20 wins, 12 draws, 10 losses) and a recent form of WWWDD. The team has scored 48 goals and conceded 33, leaving a +15 goal difference, yet remains 10 points behind leaders Racing Santander.

What’s next for the squad?

The next training session will see Víctor Mollejo fully integrated and set‑piece routines refined. Coaches trust that the blend of experience and youth will enable Burgos CF to contest promotion spots and perhaps return to the playoffs before the season ends.
