The last First Division bench that remained vacant for next season has finally found a tenant. The Deportivo Alaves on Wednesday announced the hiring of Paul Machin for a campaign, a closed operation for days was awaiting legal proceedings afford to be official. With this move, and at the expense of what may happen after the end of the European competitions and with the pending promotion in the Second , all the First teams have a confirmed coach for next season.

There have only been, at least for the moment, four changes of coach, a surprisingly low number. In the case of Alavés , Muñiz did not achieve continuity after leading (and saving) the team in the last four days and the club considered other options. Finally he opted for Machín, who on July 22 had committed to the Chinese Qingdao . Days later he announced his resignation "for personal reasons" and now signs with Alavés. Machín, after a long and successful stage at Girona, has been removed by Sevilla and Espanyol in the last two campaigns.

The Valencia and Betis changed their technicians after finishing this season with two interim coaches and house, Voro and Alexis Trujillo , respectively. The Ché team has decided to bet on Javi Gracia , who returns to Spain after a stage in Russia and another at English Watford, while Betis does it for Manuel Pellegrini , who comes from a bad experience at West Ham. The fourth and last move is that of Unai Emery to replace Javi Calleja at Villarreal, despite the fifth position in which the 'groguets' finished the season.

Those who are still on the same team

In the rest of the benches , the bet is for continuity, including the two that promote Second, Míchel in Huesca and Álvaro Cervera in Cádiz. Along with them, Zidane (Madrid), Setién (Barça), Simeone (Atlético), Lopetegui (Sevilla), Alguacil (Real), Diego Martínez (Granada), Bordalás (Getafe), Arrasate (Osasuna), Garitano (Athletic), Paco López (Levante), Sergio (Valladolid), Mendilibar (Eibar) and Óscar (Celta) will continue in their positions. Except for Setién and Óscar, they have all been in office for at least one full season.

Despite everything, Setien's doubt persists, for whom it is difficult to imagine next year at the Camp Nou if Barça do not complete a good Champions League. There are also rumors about the continuity of Bordalás in Getafe, although the benches for which it sounded have gradually found their owner. The final unknown has to do with the third team that ends up ascending to First . The feeling is that Zaragoza (Víctor), Girona (Francisco), Fuenlabrada (Sandoval) and Elche (Pacheta) would keep their current coach in case of promotion. With the fifth in contention, Almería, it is not possible to make a prediction after a season with four different coaches.

Those who have changed their coaches are the three teams that have dropped . The Leganés bet on Josep Lluís Martí instead of Javier Aguirre and Espanyol have paid a transfer to Mallorca to put their project in the hands of Vicente Moreno after Rufete's interim. The Vermilion Club, meanwhile, has yet to announce its new manager. The best placed is Andoni Iraola , so far at Mirandés.
