Season overview

July

On 3 July: The polish former striker Jan Urban makes his return to El Sadar as coach for his former club Osasuna.[1] On 4 July, Argentine winger Emiliano Armenteros agreed to terminate the contract he signed two years prior and which was set to expire on 30 June 2015. He subsequently signed a two-year deal for Mexican Tuxtla Gutiérrez side Chiapas for a €7.5 million transfer fee.[2] On 9 July, Jan Urban confirmed the official presentation of Osasuna pre-season matches on 14 July.

February

On 1 February, referee José María Sánchez Martínez suspended Osasuna's match with Real Zaragoza at El Sadar due to snow accumulation on the pitch.[3]
