Template:Spanish name José Luis Mendilibar Etxebarria (born 14 March 1961) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current manager of SD Eibar.
Playing career
Mendilibar was born in Zaldibar, Basque Country. He enjoyed an average career as a player, never representing a club in La Liga and successively playing for Bilbao Athletic, CD Logroñés, Sestao Sport Club and SD Lemona.
Mendilibar was a key player in midfield for Sestao during the club's second division years – playing eight years with the club in that level and overall appearing in nearly 300 matches – narrowly missing out on promotion in 1987 under Javier Irureta.[1][2][3]
Coaching career
After retiring in 1994, Mendilibar worked in the youth categories of Athletic Bilbao, before being appointed head coach of UD Lanzarote and then SD Eibar.[4] His success with the latter in the second division, on a very limited budget, translated into a narrow miss on promotion in 2005.
Mendilibar then returned to Athletic,[5] the club he supported as a child, but was sacked after just a few months as the Lions ranked last with just one win in nine matches.
For the 2006–07 season, Mendilibar moved to Real Valladolid, achieving top flight promotion in his debut campaign (with 88 points) and retaining division status from 2007 to 2009. On 1 February 2010, after a 1–1 home draw against UD Almería, he was sacked from his post.[6]
Slightly less than one year later Mendilibar returned to active, replacing sacked José Antonio Camacho at CA Osasuna: his first game in charge was a 4–0 home win against RCD Espanyol.[7] On 3 September 2013, he was relieved of his duties after three losses in as many matches to kickstart the new season.[8]
On 29 May 2014, Mendilibar was appointed at Levante UD, signing a one-year contract with an option for a second season.[9] On 20 October, after only one win in eight games, and no goals scored and 14 conceded from four home outings, he was relieved of his duties.[10]
On 30 June 2015, Mendilibar returned to Eibar, replacing Gaizka Garitano.[11]
