Imanol Alguacil has become the most coveted piece on the board after his bitter experience at Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia, where he was dismissed in February. Three major projects such as Valencia CF, Girona FC, and Rayo Vallecano have set their sights on the coach from Orio. While Valencia CF hesitates about the continuity of Carlos Corberán, in Montilivi, they already envision a future without Míchel Sánchez, who is heading to Ajax.

On the other hand, the Rayo Vallecano board is looking for a reliable replacement in case Íñigo Pérez leaves for Villarreal's bench. This chain of movements places the Basque coach in a privileged position to lead a new winning cycle in European elite football. His ability to manage competitive squads and his daring football proposal are the credentials that seduce technical secretariats across half the country.

Valencia CF has emerged strongly in the bidding, seriously considering hiring the Guipuzcoan strategist to take on the always demanding Mestalla bench. Although the renewal of Carlos Corberán seemed on track, the defeat against a rotated Atlético de Madrid has shaken the confidence of the club's management.

Corberán himself recently denied having signed his new contract, leaving the door open for a replacement that Valencia fans are starting to demand. The board sees the Basque coach as the ideal figure to instill the competitive character that the team has lost in the last league fixtures.

Imanol Alguacil and Girona FC's interest in succeeding Míchel

The possible departure of Míchel Sánchez after a historic five-year period at Montilivi forces the Catalan team to seek a successor who maintains the identity. Imanol Alguacil emerges as the top favorite of Girona's sports management to take over a project that has solidified its position in the top ranks.

His experience in European competitions and his proven success at Real Sociedad align with the profile of a methodical and offensive coach that the club requires. The Girona board believes that the Oriotarra is the right person to manage a squad that aims to continue making history on the continent.

Uncertainty in Vallecas also fuels rumors, as Rayo Vallecano considers him as a candidate following the almost certain departure of Íñigo Pérez. According to sources close to the club, Alguacil competes with Jagoba Arrasate in the speculations, although the charisma of the former Real Sociedad coach is well-liked in the franjirroja offices.

Meanwhile, in Valencia's capital, the transfer market is lively due to the possibility of seeing the Basque coach leading the iconic Mestalla stands. The coach is looking for an environment where he can replicate the successes achieved in San Sebastián, where he won the Copa del Rey and secured five European qualifications.

Mestalla's commitment to the hierarchy of the Oriotarra coach

Valencia's technical secretariat particularly values the coach's ability to enhance young talent, a key pillar in the club's current philosophy. Imanol Alguacil represents a blend of discipline and creative football that could bring the team back to contention for international honors.

Despite his recent brief stint in the Middle East, his reputation in Spain remains untarnished thanks to an impeccable six-year career. The summer of 2026 will be remembered as a great generational change in the dugouts, with names like Ernesto Valverde also announcing their final farewell.

Ultimately, the destiny of the Oriotarra will shape the roadmap of a season that promises intense emotions from the technical areas in every stadium. Imanol Alguacil has the opportunity to redeem himself from his poor Arabian experience and prove that his football is still of top international level.

Valencia CF seems to have taken the lead in the negotiations, but the shadows of Girona FC and Rayo Vallecano still loom large. The final decision will depend on the ambition of the sports projects and the alignment with the boards seeking a leader for their squads. What is certain is that the Basque coach will not remain far from the heat of Spanish technical areas for much longer.
