Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea (born 4 July 1971), known simply as Imanol, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right back, and the current coach of Real Sociedad B.

He appeared in 121 games in La Liga over the course of nine seasons (eight goals scored), representing Real Sociedad and Villarreal. In 2014, he started working as a manager.

Playing career

Born in Orio, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Imanol was a Real Sociedad youth graduate. He made his senior debuts with the reserves, playing two full seasons in Segunda División B.

On 29 September 1990, Imanol made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Real Oviedo. He was definitely promoted to the main squad in the 1991 summer, and went on to appear regularly in the following campaigns.

Imanol scored his first professional goal on 20 September 1992, netting his side's first in a 2–1 away win over Albacete Balompié. He featured rarely during the final years of his stint at the Anoeta Stadium as he dealt with several injury problems, leaving the club in 1998 after playing only four matches during the season.

Subsequently, Imanol joined Villarreal CF also in the top division, appearing sparingly and suffering team relegation. After returning to the top tier in 2000 he was released, and moved to Segunda División's Real Jaén.

Imanol then resumed his career in the third level, representing FC Cartagena and Burgos CF. He retired with the latter side in 2003, aged 32.

Managerial career

On 26 July 2011, Imanol returned to his first club Real Sociedad, being appointed manager of the youth setup.[1] On 17 June 2013 he was named Asier Santana's assistant at its reserve team,[2] and was also in charge of the main squad along with Santana in November 2014 after Jagoba Arrasate's dismissal.[3]

After the arrival of David Moyes in November 2014, Imanol was included in the first team staff,[4] but he was appointed manager of the B-side late in that month.[5]
