Athletic will meet an old acquaintance tomorrow in Nuevo Los Cármenes de Granada. Aitor Karanka He has been the coach of the Nasrid team since April 18 where he took over Ruben Torrecilla, who became the coach selected on an interim basis for five games to be replaced Robert Moreno. This is his third coach of the season.
During this time, the man from Gasteiz is undefeated and receives the lions with a rush of 2-6 achieved on Saturday at the Son Moix with an exhibition of Jorge Molina. The 40-year-old veteran striker scored two goals and provided two assists to achieve his team’s most impressive victory in the 2021-22 League.
Karanka He added a well-deserved draw against Atlético de Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano (0-0) in his first game under Nasrids management and the next day he also drew with Celta at home (1-1). The Gasteiz player took over on the bench where the team was fourth from the bottom with relegation points (29), the same as Mexican’s Mallorca Javier Aguirre. Now he is in the same position, but he left the red zone marked by the vermilion team by two points with three games left to play. In addition to receiving the lions, they will play the next day against Betis ’home and will close the regularity tournament in their field against the Spanish.
Granada are the second worst team at home with 18 units added in 17 games. Only Cádiz exacerbates these numbers (17). The lion’s next rival has four home wins (Sevilla, Atlético, Alavés and Mallorca), six draws (Valencia, Getafe, Barça, Cádiz, Rayo and Celta) and seven losses (Betis, Real Sociedad, Real Madrid , Osasuna, Villarreal, Elche and Levante).
This is the former Athletic player’s first experience as head coach in the League after becoming an assistant to Mourinho at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. Later, he continued his career in England, as key manager of Birmingham, Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough, where he achieved promotion to the Premier League.
KarankaThe 48-year-old was a lion for eight seasons in two different seasons (1993-04/1996-97 and 2002-03/2005-06) in which he played a total of 202 official promises with four goals in his credit. In between, he was a footballer for Real Madrid.
Tomorrow he will meet his former team for the first time as the manager of a LaLiga team. Most likely, there is little time for sentimentality because being permanently in the highest category and Athletic, a European area, is at stake.
