Levante’s Remarkable Improvement Under Luís Castro

Levante has demonstrated notable improvement since Luís Castro took the helm. The statistics reflect this progress; under the guidance of the Portuguese coach, the Valencia-based team has secured a total of eight points from five matches, fostering optimism in their pursuit of survival in La Liga.

With a scoreless draw against Atlético this past Saturday, Levante has successfully gone two months—equivalent to four La Liga matches—without suffering a defeat at the Ciutat de Valencia.

Since their last home loss on November 29 against Athletic Club, the team has accumulated six points, having drawn against Real Sociedad, Espanyol, and Atlético, while triumphing in the derby against Elche.

These figures confirm Levante’s best home streak of the season. Prior to the match against Atlético, the Valencians had managed to secure only one point at home, which was during the fourth matchday against Real Betis.

A key factor in the team’s resurgence has been their coach, Luís Castro, who ranks among the club’s top managers in terms of performance in the opening five matches. With these impressive statistics, he stands just behind Juan Ignacio Martínez—who achieved three wins and two draws—and Paco López, who recorded three victories, one draw, and one defeat.
