SD Eibar's coach, Gaizka Garitano, received the award for the 'Best Manager in the 2013-14 Liga Adelante' at the '2014 LFP Awards Ceremony' beating his peers Quique Setién (CD Lugo) and Fernando Vázquez (RC Deportivo) in the voting.
Gaizka Garitano's work in the SD Eibar dugout was, and continues to be, exceptional. The manager from San Sebastian won two promotions in as many years to take the team from the Ipurua from the Segunda B to the Liga BBVA in just three seasons, more than enough to earn him this award.
A 45% win-rate last season was enough to take the Armeros the Liga Adelante title and automatic promotion above RC Deportivo. The perfect union between him and his players continues to rewrite the history of Eibar in Spanish football.
"I'm collecting this award on behalf of the coaching staff, without them it
would not have been possible. But above all I'd like to thank the players,
I'm very proud to have been your manager."
