Guti, the new coach of Almeria LaLiga Replaces Pedro Emanuel

Former Real Madrid midfielder Jose Maria Gutierrez, or Guti as he is more commonly known is the new coach of Almeria.

The Indalicos have not yet named the replacement for Pedro Emanuel who left the club on Monday evening.

However, minutes after announcing Emanuel's departure, the club published a strong hint with regards his replacement.

"A certain No.14 is flying in," they tweeted with a Batman style video.

From that moment it was an open secret that Guti was going to take over at Almeria, given he wore the No.14 while at Real Madrid.

Almeria owner Turki Al-Sheikh also published a photo on his social media accounts with the caption: "With the Real Madrid and the Spanish national team legend."

At 43 years old, it will be Guti's first job as coach of a professional team after he spent time in the youth system at Real Madrid, as well as being assistant to Senol Gunes at Besiktas.

Guti is scheduled to take his first training session with Almeria on Tuesday afternoon, with the his first match in charge coming against Real Zaragoza.
