Tactical Identity
4-4-2Low BlockAlt: 4-5-1In poss: Cautious 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 in possession; Alavés have limited build-up quality and rely on Calebe's creativity to link play, with direct balls as the primary attacking route.Out of poss: Compact 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 double-pivot block; Quique's system prioritizes defensive solidarity with two banks of four sitting deep to deny space.
Survival football — defensive, organized, direct. Compact block, set-piece reliance. Quique Sánchez Flores hired as firefighter in March 2026.
Third manager this season — Quique hired to avoid relegation. The squad has the second-lowest value in La Liga (€66.9m). Jon Pacheco (€6m, 25) is the standout player. 7 contracts expiring including Pacheco himself. With limited budget, survival and squad retention are the only priorities. If relegated, complete rebuild needed for Segunda División.
