Garitano wastes no time as new boys Dómina and Cordero hit the ground running
Cádiz's new signings Jerónimo Dómina and Antoñito Cordero joined their first training session under Gaizka Garitano as the club prepares for Segunda División's second half.
Cádiz CF kicked off 2026 with immediate business, as new signings Jerónimo Dómina and Antoñito Cordero joined their teammates for an intense New Year’s Day training session under Gaizka Garitano’s watchful eye.
New attacking options bolster squad
The Yellow Submarine have shown proper ambition by securing these two attacking reinforcements well before their next league fixture against Deportivo La Coruña. Rather than leaving it till the dog and bone at the transfer deadline, the club’s sporting directors have moved swiftly to give Garitano additional firepower.
Argentine talent Jerónimo Dómina represents a longer-term investment for the club. The young forward arrives with potential to burn but will need time to adapt to the unique demands of Spanish football. Getting him in early doors gives him precious adjustment time before the competitive action resumes.
Meanwhile, Antoñito Cordero returns to familiar Spanish shores after his Belgian adventure, joining on loan. The Andalusian winger brings valuable Segunda División experience and should hit the ground running, offering immediate impact without the typical bedding-in period foreign signings often require.
Fan welcome planned
The club’s planning extends beyond just the transfer market, with a brilliant touch for supporters to start the year. Cádiz have arranged an open training session at Nuevo Mirandilla this Friday at 10:30 am, giving the faithful their first glimpse of the new additions in the famous yellow shirt.
It’s a proper smart bit of community engagement that should create a festive atmosphere as families can watch their heroes prepare for the business end of the season. The timing couldn’t be better, with the session allowing supporters to see how Garitano plans to integrate his new attacking options before competitive fixtures resume.
Smart business strategy
What’s particularly impressive about Cádiz’s approach is the proactive nature of their transfer dealings. By securing these signings right at the start of January:
- Both players can participate in a full training schedule before competitive matches
- Garitano has time to experiment with tactical adjustments
- The club avoids the premium prices that often come with deadline day panic buys
With half a season still to play, Cádiz have positioned themselves well for a strong 2026 campaign with these calculated reinforcements.
