However, the story was not as expected. The red and white team, which eventually achieved salvation with Quique Sánchez Flores five games before the end of the season, did not start at all well and The leaders of the white and red decided to do without the services of the former Eibar player.

A few months later, in early February, Olympiacos contacted him and gave him the opportunity to manage a team outside of Spain for the first time in his career. There he met with two other former Seville players, such as Jovetic and Iborra, and with them he managed to rise to the Conference League this Wednesday.
