The future of Real Sociedad's bench could take a significant turn for the upcoming season. Julen Lopetegui, currently without a team after leaving West Ham, has expressed interest in taking over the reins of the txuri-urdin team. With Imanol Alguacil's contract coming to an end in the summer with no signs of renewal, the board in San Sebastián is considering a change in direction to revive the project.

Despite having secured the team in the upper zone of LaLiga in recent seasons, the current campaign has been disappointing for Real Sociedad. Occupying the eleventh position with 31 points and the qualification for the next UEFA Champions League practically ruled out, the feeling is that the team has reached its limit under Alguacil's management. Although still alive in the Europa League and the Copa del Rey, the inconsistent performance in the domestic league has raised doubts about the coach's continuity.

Julen Lopetegui Wants to Return to LaLiga

Given this scenario, Lopetegui sees an opportunity to come back to LaLiga and lead a team with European ambitions. His experience in Spanish football, paired with his successful stint at Sevilla, where he won the Europa League, makes him an attractive option for Real Sociedad. The board has not made a final decision, but the offer from the former Spanish national team coach is on the table and will be evaluated in the coming weeks.

The Basque club has not yet officially commented, but everything points to the bench having a new occupant next season. Lopetegui awaits his opportunity, and Real Sociedad could be the ideal destination for his return to LaLiga.
