Eibar renew Mendilibar's contract for another season LaLiga Santander Basque side finished 12th in 2018/19

Jose Luis Mendilibar will continue as Eibar head coach for the 2019/20 campaign after the two parties reached an agreement to renew his contract, which was set to expire this summer.

This will be his fifth consecutive season at the Basque side, and the 58-year-old will give a joint press conference with the club's president, Amaia Gorostiza, and the sporting director, Fran Garagarza, on Wednesday.

Mendilibar's assistant coach, Inaki Bea, fitness coach Toni Ruiz, analyst Andoni Azkargorta and goalkeeper coach Josu Anuzita will all remain at the club for the upcoming season.

Mendilibar first joined Eibar in 2004, when they lingered in the Spanish second tier - staying for just one season - and he almost led them to promotion to LaLiga Santander, before returning to the club after their debut campaign in the top flight in 2015.
