🚨On his way to River, Alavés announce Chacho Coudet's departure | OneFootball

Deportivo Alavés has officially announced the departure of Eduardo "Chacho" Coudet as the head coach of the first team. After reaching an amicable separation agreement, the Argentine coach ends his tenure at Mendizorroza, closing a chapter that began in December 2024. The Vitoria club publicly thanked him for the commitment and professionalism he showed during his time there.

A record of 55 official matches

Since his arrival, Coudet led the team in a total of 55 official matches, divided between LALIGA EA SPORTS and the Copa del Rey. Although his management sought to provide stability to the team in the top division, both parties have decided that this is the right time to part ways as the 2026 season reaches its final stretch.

Chacho heads to River

The Alavés management is already working on hiring a successor to lead the club's upcoming professional challenges. Meanwhile, the Argentine coach is ready to take over at River Plate. President Stefano Di Carlo has already confirmed to ESPN that he will assume the role in the coming hours.
