The future of Manuel Pellegrini at Real Betis is in doubt due to the irregular results that have marked the season. The Betis board is already considering alternatives in case the Chilean fails to turn the situation around, and among the names gaining strength are Luis García Plaza and Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, as reported by Nacional Cat.

Both coaches represent different profiles but are viable options if the club decides on a coaching change for the upcoming season.

The Betis team is going through a performance crisis in LaLiga, where it is far from the European spots. The lack of consistency in the domestic league, coupled with the elimination from the Copa del Rey and struggles in the Conference League, have raised doubts about Pellegrini's continuity. Despite having players like Isco, Lo Celso, Antony Santos, and Vitor Roque, the team has not managed to establish itself as a strong contender for European competitions.

Luis García Plaza and Tata Martino, on Betis' radar

In this scenario, Luis García Plaza emerges as a strong candidate for the position. With extensive experience in Spanish football, he recently coached Alavés, leading them to promotion to La Liga. Furthermore, he has been with clubs like Mallorca, Levante, Getafe, and Villarreal, providing him with the experience to manage a team with European ambitions.

On the other hand, Betis is also considering the option of Tata Martino, who is currently without a team after his time at Inter Miami. The Argentine coach, with experience with national teams like Argentina, Mexico, and Paraguay, in addition to his stint at FC Barcelona, would represent a more daring choice but with a strong media and renowned profile.
