Girona officially announced the recognition of Quique Alvarez as the new head coach of the first team. The 50-year-old farmer changed his position at Michela Posad and signed a contract for one season.
The leadership of the Catalan club was determined not to joke with the mentor on the side, but to continue the course of developing the power structure. Alvarez is well acquainted with the Gironi system, and has also worked in the reserve team for a long time..
Gironi B has achieved many results: from the very beginning he led the team from Terceri RFEF to Segundi RFEF, and last season he successfully consolidated them on a new level. The club is particularly committed to working with young players and developing the talents of the academy.
The coaching staff of the new coach will include his brother Oscar Alvarez, who will become an assistant, as well as Jordi Balcells, who is recognized for the physical preparation of the team. The grievances have already been dealt with in the structure of the club and are well aware of the internal processes.
Kike Alvarez has a solid football background. In the past, he played in the position of a central defender, having passed through the Barcelona academy and having witnessed fifteen deaths in professional football, while protecting the colors of Villarreal. After completing his career, he worked with the Barcelona system, and also entered the coaching staffs of Villarreal, Alaves and Levante.
The new coach has an ambitious goal - to take Girona to La Liga after last season's defeat.
