Contract extensions for Sergio Pellicer and Manolo Gaspar the next priority

With just one player coming in in January, securing the coach and sporting director is the next move for the administrator at Malaga

With the January tranfer window now closed and no changes to the squad, the focus now for Malaga's judicial administrator, José María Muñoz, is to secure the futures of head coach Sergio Pellicer and sporting director Manolo Gaspar beyond the end of the season.

Having signed full-back Alexander González early on in the window to replace the injured Iván Calero, the remainder of the window saw no further activity with the club hampered by financial restraints.

Both Pellicer and Gaspar's contracts are due to expire in the summer and Muñoz is keen to reward the pair for their work in stabilising the club on the field, assembling a competitive squad with limited resources.

The stay of Muñoz is also set to be renewed, with the judge who installed him prepared to extend his placement for another six months while legal proceedings against majority owner Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani continue.

Muñoz's work continues to be focused on reducing costs and getting the club's balance sheet in order.

One source of revenue being pursued is that of sponsorship money Muñoz says is due from hotel group BlueBay, who had their name on the back of Malaga's shirts during the 2013-14 season. The administrator claims the debt is around 2.65 million euros but is yet to receive any formal response on the matter.
