Deportivo Alavés Names Quique Sánchez Flores Head Coach Ahead of Mestalla Debut

The former Valencia stalwart begins his tenure against his old club in a setting he knows well.

Overview

  • His first match in charge will be away to Valencia at Mestalla, which he described as a very special moment.
  • At his presentation, he said Valencia’s supporters were once his crowd and expressed clear affection for them.
  • He spent ten seasons at Valencia as a player and later managed the club from 2005–06 to 2007–08.
  • His résumé spans multiple LaLiga posts plus stints abroad, including Watford in England and a spell in China, and he had earlier been a fan-linked rumor to replace Carlos Corberán that the club did not pursue at the time.
