After winning last season’s coach of the month award (in March ahead of Carlo Ancelotti & Xavi Hernández) and being nominated for best coach of last season’s competition despite arriving in November 2023, Marcelino is once again among La Liga’s best coaches.
The Asturian, whose team arrived at the break with 8 points in Champions League places, was selected by LaStats along with Hansi Flick, who has started the league with full wins, and Luis García Plaza, from Alavés, who has 6 points out of a possible 12.
The coach from Careñes competed alongside Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid), Míchel (Girona FC), Diego Pablo Simeone (Atlético de Madrid) and Ernesto Valverde (Athletic Club) for the award for Best Coach of the 23/24. season. This award is supported by Microsoft in the framework of the Beyond Stats advanced statistics project together with LALIGA.
