Imanol Alguacil's departure from Imanol Alguacil at the end of the season prompted Real Sociedad to activate to find a successor. According to Marcatwo names emerge to take place on the bench of Anoeta: Julen Lopetegui and Michel. The first, trained in Zubieta, has been free since leaving West Ham at the start of the season and appealed to managers for his knowledge of the club and experience. First contacts have even already taken place.

Michel, current coach of Girona, appeals to the proximity of his style with that of Imanol. Its situation remains unclear in Catalonia, and a separation is not excluded at the end of the season. But its release clause, fixed at two million euros, could cool the ardor. Finally, the internal track leading to Sergio Francisco, coach of the reserve, seems to be dismissed despite its good results.
