Levante's new signing, Algerian center-back Aïssa Mandi, has joined his first training session under coach Luís Castro after a special holiday period following the 2026 World Cup. Mandi, 34, was eliminated in the round of 32 with Algeria against Switzerland on July 7. He was welcomed by teammates with a guard of honor. The defender signed as a free agent from Lille until June 2028. This marks his third La Liga stint after playing for Real Betis (five seasons) and Villarreal. Levante is preparing for their season opener against Espanyol on August 16 at RCDE Stadium.
