Almería Appoint New Manager Ahead of Promotion Push

Almería have hired Spanish coach Paco López to lead the team following their relegation from La Liga. Known for his time at Levante, López brings experience, tactical flexibility, and a positive attitude to the club.

His main objective is clear: take Almería straight back up to the top division. The club has already begun planning a busy transfer window, with focus on retaining key players and signing smart additions from Segunda División.

López wants to implement an aggressive, possession-based system to dominate games in the second tier. Pre-season will be used to test out new tactical ideas and integrate young players from the academy.

Almería fans are optimistic about the appointment. Despite a tough year, the squad still has quality—and with the right leadership, a quick return to La Liga is very possible.

The board’s confidence in López shows their commitment to stability and long-term planning, rather than making panic decisions after relegation.
