It is a reality that in today’s world of football, volatility This is a very normalized factor in every club. Whether due to poor performance or excellent form, but coaches and players have a very short expiration date, … which prevents them from taking root in their teams. However, in the case of Córdoba CF, Ivan Ania This is a clear example of longevity in the Second Division.
Currently, since his last arrival June 28, 2023the Oviedo coach is playing his third campaign in the Cordoba entity. This fact gave rise to a very special anniversary at the waterside club, as none of the previous coaches had passed the 93 consecutive matches in Cordoba. The demand in El Arcángel is at its peak, an aspect that means that many personalities have not had much time to strengthen their sports project.
In the case of Iván Ania, the promotion to second division his first season and the subsequent consolidation of Blanquiverde’s team in the Second Division provided enough merit for Blanquiverde’s supporters and management to place their trust in the Asturian coach. With 105 matches at the helm of Cordobamarked by joys, disappointments, doubts and ambitions, Ania has built a journey full of nuances that currently places him as the third coach with the greatest continuity on the benches of the teams that make up the Second Division.
José Alberto’s dream of promotion to Racing
Within this particular podium, second position corresponds to Jose Alberto Lopezcoach of Racing de Santander, with 135 meetings led since his arrival on December 13, 2022. In three and a half seasons, the Oviedo coach has managed to keep the Cantabrian team as a contender for promotion to the First Division. However, the last sections Of course, this has been his Achilles heel, which has not yet allowed him to celebrate the long-awaited alirón.
In the current campaign, José Alberto has built a squad in which purpose runs through his veins. Above all, the success in the race was highlighted thanks to a successful attacking trio formed by Villalibre (10 goals), Andrés Martín (9 goals) and Jeremy (8 goals). This trident has propelled Racing de Santander as the most successful team in the category, a condition that allows it lead the ranking alone with 37 points and consolidates itself as one of the main candidates for promotion.
José Juan Romero’s success in Ceuta
Finally, the coach with the greatest continuity in the category is Jose Juan Romero. Talking about the Sevillian coach is equivalent to talking about Ceuta, a club that he managed to create in the second stage of professional football. After a first step in the mackerel entity during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, José Juan decided to abandon the mackerel project to take up the challenge of Eldense in the Second Federation. Although he achieved promotion for the Valencian team to the First Federation, a subsequent dismissal for disciplinary reasons led him to return to Ceuta on September 19, 2022.
Since then, with 141 matches coachedthe coach secured the Ceuta team’s promotion to the Second Division last season. Far from being content with this milestone, Ceuta has become one of the revelations from this course. Despite their “rookie” status, the Maquereau team currently occupies ninth position and, during the first part of the season, ended up sleeping in “play off” positions.
With a ‘Top 3’ already defined, in a season where there have already been ten coaching changesthe most notable coaches are Alberto González with Albacete (75 matches), Rubi in charge of Almería (69 matches) and Luis Miguel Ramis with Burgos (53 matches).
Let’s return to the situation of Iván Ania, after becoming the current campaign candidate sixth coach With the highest number of matches played in Córdoba CF’s history, its revival is fast approaching. In the absence of an official announcement, the Oviedo coach will continue to guide the green and white team towards ambitious goals, while taking firm steps to establish himself as one of the most memorable coaches in the history of the Cordoba club.
