Mendilibar was a key player in midfield for Sestao during the side'sSegunda División years – playing eight seasons with them in that level and appearing in nearly 300 competitive matches – narrowly missing out on promotion in1986–87 underJavier Irureta.[3][4][5]

Early years

[edit]

After retiring in 1994, Mendilibar worked in the youth categories ofAthletic Bilbao before having spells as head coach atAurrerá de Vitoria,[6]Lanzarote andEibar.[7] His success with the latter in the second division, on a very limited budget, translated into anarrow miss on promotion in 2005.[8]

Athletic Bilbao

Mendilibar returned to Athletic in June 2005.[9] His debut was the firstEuropean match of his career, a 1–0 away loss against Romania'sCFR Cluj on 2 July in thesecond round of theUEFA Intertoto Cup (aggregate draw, elimination onpenalties).[10][11] His first top-flight game was a 3–0 home win overReal Sociedad in theBasque derby on 27 August.[12]

Having not added any more victories in the ensuing nine games ofthe season, Mendilibar was its first manager to be sacked. He was replaced byJavier Clemente on 31 October.[13]

In June 2006, Mendilibar was appointed atReal Valladolid in the second division.[14] His team won promotion as champions in hisfirst season, earning a record 88 points and going on a 29-game unbeaten run to secure their place in the top flight with eight fixtures remaining.[15] In thesame campaign, they reached the quarter-finals of theCopa del Rey with aggregate victories overGimnàstic de Tarragona andVillarreal from the league above.[16]

Mendilibar's team retained their league status from2007 to2009. On 1 February 2010, after a 1–1 home draw againstAlmería left them one point above the relegation places, he was dismissed.[17]

Osasuna

In February 2011, Mendilibar returned to work, replacing the firedJosé Antonio Camacho atOsasuna on a deal until June of the following year.[18] His first game in charge was a 4–0 home defeat ofEspanyol on 20 February,[19] and theRojillos stayed up on the final day ofthe campaign with a 1–0 win over Villarreal also at theEl Sadar Stadium.[20]

Mendilibar added a further year to his contract in March 2012,[21] and again in May of the following year.[22] On 3 September 2013, he was relieved of his duties after three losses in as many matches to kickstart thenew season.[23]

Mendilibar returned to Eibar on 30 June 2015, replacingGaizka Garitano.[26] In2016–17, he led the team to a best-everquarter-final finish in the domestic cup before an injury-stripped squad lost 5–2 on aggregate toAtlético Madrid;[27] he andAsier Garitano ofLeganés were joint recipients of the year'sMiguel Muñoz Trophy for best manager.[28] Thefollowing year they came ninth in the league, again a club record.[29]

In May 2021, shortly after theteam's relegation, Mendilibar announced that he would not renew his contract.[30]

Alavés

[edit]

At the turn of the calendar year, Mendilibar returned to the top division at relegation-threatened neighboursAlavés.[31] He was fired less than four months later, with the side in last place.[32]
