Deportivo Alavés has a new coach. Following Chacho Coudet's departure mid-season to take over at River Plate after Marcelo Gallardo's exit, the babazorro club has found his replacement.

As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Quique Sánchez Flores has been chosen to lead the Vitorian team. An experienced profile, well-versed in LaLiga and accustomed to handling critical situations.

Coudet leaves a delicate situation behind

The departure of the Argentine coach occurred at a particularly sensitive moment in the season. With the team fighting to secure survival and crucial matchdays ahead, the coaching change had to be made precisely.

Alavés' sports management considered various profiles to ensure immediate stability. The priority was not to start a long-term project but to guarantee competitiveness and solidity in the short term.

Experience in high-pressure environments was a decisive factor.

Imanol, ruled out for economic reasons

One of the enticing names was Imanol Alguacil. His time at Real Sociedad left a positive impact, and his knowledge of the Basque environment made him a natural choice.

However, negotiations did not progress. The former txuri-urdin coach has a high status, and his financial demands exceeded the margin Alavés was willing to assume at this stage of the season.

The club understood that compromising its financial structure mid-season was not feasible, especially when the priority is immediate sporting stability.

Quique, a specialist in complex scenarios

The final selection points to a proven profile. Quique Sánchez Flores is a coach with extensive experience in Spanish football, accustomed to taking on projects in challenging situations.

His pragmatic style, focusing on defensive organization and structural solidity, aligns with Alavés' current needs. He is not a coach for long building processes but for immediate impact.

In LaLiga, he has shown the ability to reorganize teams in crisis and restore their competitiveness in adverse situations. That experience weighed heavily in the final decision.

The challenge is clear: stabilize the team and secure the objectives in a crucial phase of the season. With the announcement confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Alavés is embarking on a new era in the dugout.

Now, the focus shifts to the field. Quique will have to prove from day one that his arrival is the right move to avoid setbacks in the season's closing stages.
