Due to the growing competition Gallardo played noticeably less.

Players out on loan

So it was that he was on loan for the 2004/2005 season at Premiership football team FC Getafe. There he was able to slightly more than half of the league games contest and he also scored a hit. However, Sevilla did not need him once and gave in further to the Portuguese first division club Vitória Guimarães. He was not happy and a half years, as two missions later, Paco Gallardo left the club already back to play one more time as Players out on loan at Spanish side Deportivo La Coruña.
