Leganes coach Javier Aguirre has said that Spain's La Liga will resume on June 20 and end on July 26 despite league bosses refusing to confirm his claim.
Aguirre told Marca Claro on Thursday that he had been told officially of the plan to restart the championship which has been in cold storage since March due to the coronavirus.
"We already have a start date for the league -- on June 20 we will start La Liga and after five weeks we officially finish, on July 26," said Mexican coach Aguirre whose side were second bottom of the table when action was halted two months ago.
"Matches will be played Saturday-Sunday and Wednesday-Thursday, 11 rounds.
"La Liga has just informed me officially and I am very happy about that because we have now scheduled the training sessions. We start tomorrow (Friday) because thankfully we passed the tests."
