That news has been talked about for a long time, but it wasn’t until this Monday afternoon that Barakaldo made it official. Imanol de la Sota will continue another season as the bench leader of the factory team. Gualdinegros accumulated two consecutive promotions (from Third to Second RFEF and from Second to First RFEF) with Santurtzi coach at the head of the team.
“The renewal of Imanol represents a solid step towards consolidating the sports project of Barakaldo CF, which continues to bet on a competitive and attractive style of play. From the club, we call on our fans to continue to support the team in this new season full of challenges and opportunities,” said the statement issued by the manufacturing entity to announce the continuation of its coach.
De la Sota, who also has a past in the Athletic youth categories, and his students placed second this season in their Second RFEF group. Despite everything, Bilbao Athletic’s brilliant season did not take away from Barakaldo’s excellent campaign in the slightest, as they finished second with 76 points. Their promotion to the Primera RFEF, unlike the puppies, had to be certified after defeating Atlético Paso and Orihuela CF in the playoffs.
« If we don’t get the promotion; This team, for many reasons, is part of Baraka and Biscayan football history, but in my opinion, what they did made them legends of Baraka and they deserve it. “I have never felt comfortable, respected and loved anywhere here,” said De la Sota himself after completing the jump to the new category.
