Deportivo Alavés Appoints Eduardo Coudet as New Head Coach

In a swift move following the dismissal of Luis Garcia Plaza, Deportivo Alavés has announced the appointment of Eduardo Coudet as their new head coach. The Argentine tactician has signed a contract that runs until June of this season, with the option to extend for another year based on performance outcomes.

A Promising Career

Eduardo Coudet, born in Buenos Aires on December 9, 1974, is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished South American coaches in contemporary football. With nearly 80 matches of experience in La Liga, Coudet brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Alavés squad. His coaching career has seen him at the helm of prominent clubs including Rosario Central, Tijuana, Racing de Avellaneda, Atlético Mineiro, Internacional de Porto Alegre, and most recently, RC Celta de Vigo in Spain, where he spent three successful seasons.

Coudet’s coaching accolades include winning the Argentine Super League and the Champions Trophy with Racing, alongside multiple runner-up finishes in the domestic cup. His reputation is further bolstered by his close attempts to lead Celta to European competition during his tenure.

Immediate Integration

Coudet will step into his new role immediately, as he prepares to lead Deportivo Alavés in their upcoming Copa del Rey match against Deportiva Minera. The club aims to build momentum and stabilize its season under his command. Accompanying him are two assistant coaches, Patricio Graff and Carlos Miguel Fernández, as well as physical trainers Octavio Manera and Guido Cretari. This support staff is expected to facilitate a smooth transition and embed the new coach’s philosophy into the team dynamics.

Club’s Press Release

In an official statement, Deportivo Alavés expressed their enthusiasm about Coudet’s hiring, stating: "Deportivo Alavés has reached an agreement to hire Eduardo Coudet as the new first team coach. The Argentine coach, with almost 80 matches of experience in La Liga, signs with the babazorro team until the end of the current season, with the possibility to extend his relationship for another season depending on the objectives."

Looking Forward

As Coudet steps into the demanding role of head coach, the challenges ahead will require tactical acumen and strong leadership to guide Deportivo Alavés through the remainder of the season. Fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how his arrival impacts the team’s performance in both La Liga and domestic cup competitions. His ability to foster a competitive spirit and instill confidence in the players might be crucial in navigating the challenges of the forthcoming matches.

Coudet’s experience and previous successes in the league suggest that Deportivo Alavés may find the stability they need to thrive in the competitive landscape of Spanish football. The spotlight will be on him as he embarks on this new chapter with the babazorros.
