RC Deportivo have installed Gaizka Garitano as their new first-team coach ahead of the 2016/17 campaign. The Basque manager has arrived at the Galician club alongside Patxi Ferreira, who will serve as his assistant, as well as the analyst Jose Luis Ribera and fitness coach Eduardo Dominguez.

Prior to becoming a coach, Garitano enjoyed a lengthy playing career, during which he represented Athletic Club B, UE Lleida, CD Ourense, SD Eibar, Real Sociedad and D. Alaves. His first managerial gig was at Eibar, whom he got promoted to the top flight, while he has also coached Real Valladolid, so at Deportivo he will embark on his third assignment in the dugout.

Garitano was unveiled in the press room at Riazor earlier this afternoon.
