Oct 12 (Reuters) - Osasuna ⁠parted ways with manager Luis Miguel Ramis ⁠after eight matches in charge on Monday, ‌and replaced him with Jagoba Arrasate, who returns two years after leaving the club.

The Navarrese side have won ​twice inLaLiga and sit 16th ⁠in the table with ⁠eight points. A ragged5-2 defeat by Real Betis ⁠on ‌Sunday was Ramis' final chance to prove he was the right person ⁠for the job.

Arrasate has signed a contract ​until 2029. ‌The 48-year-old returns to El Sadar after ⁠a two-year ​gap, during which he managed at Mallorca.

Vicente Moreno, Alessio Lisci and Ramis all had spells as ⁠manager after Arrasate, but none lasted ​more than a season. Ramis took the reins in July, but a run of four defeats ⁠in five, conceding 17 goals, ended his tenure.

In his first six-year stint at Osasuna, Arrasate became a hero in Pamplona, guiding them back ​to LaLiga and taking ⁠Osasuna to a second Copa del Rey final ​appearance in their history in ‌2023. They qualified for the ​Conference League in the same season.
