Quique Sánchez Flores has agreed to become the new Alavés manager, with a contract that will keep him until June 2028.
Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano who broke the news said everything is now set for the Spanish tactician to resume at the club.
The former Valencia coach has handled demanding dressing rooms at Atlético, Sevilla and Valencia. His most recent role came at Sevilla in 2023/2024, taking on an unstable project and attempting to steady it amid institutional and sporting turbulence. In Mendizorroza, his appeal lies in deep LaLiga knowledge, defensive organisation and the ability to work with tight squads under high pressure.
Alavés crave stability and points, and would want a tactician capable of imposing order quickly if Coudet does accept River’s proposal. The squad have been inconsistent, competitive in spells yet short of continuity, and recent performances have raised concerns about game management.
Sánchez Flores has also been floated this season as a possible emergency option at Valencia if a severe crisis unfolded with Carlos Corberán, though that scenario did not materialise.
