Jon Alemán occupies Llopis' position at Real Sociedad

A man of the house. A young coach, hungry and eager to grow, who has done himself in goalkeeping and to whom no one has given him anything, will be in charge of leading the preparation of goalkeepers of the Real Sociedad first team. He occupies the position of Luis Llopis, who despite having a contract in force until 2022, has decided to leave the San Sebastian club before a new call from Real Madrid (It already tempted him last summer), who has put a blank check to which it is very difficult to say no. The Hernaniarra is an eminence as a goalkeeping coach and returns to the white club, where he was already key in the achievement of the three Champions League with Zidane, making Keylor Navas one of the best goalkeepers in the world. In this way, the Real makes the departure of Llopis official, advanced by Noticias de Gipuzkoa and yesterday the newspaper AS confirmed. Likewise, the txuri-urdin club makes a kind of barter with Real Madrid, because it incorporates into its technical structure Roberto Vázquez, until now goalkeeping coach of the first team of the white entity.

You will not have a simple task Jon German, born in Donostia in 1984, as the goalkeeping coach of the first team, because he has to replace Luis Llopis, which has decided to terminate its contract with the txuri urdin entity. Alemán is a young coach, a man of the house who has been growing and improving year after year, who he has learned a lot under Llopis' baton, and that he has worked as a goalkeeper coach for Sanse for the last three seasons, with Xabi Alonso on the subsidiary's bench. Future values ​​of the Real goal such as Ayesa or Marrero have passed through his hands. Alemán was already the goalkeeping coach of the first realistic team between 2015 and 2018. This year has been an important piece in the Sanse that achieved promotion to the Second Division. It can be said that it is a logical step after the goodbye of Llopis, because during a short period of this last season he was also in charge of the goalkeepers of the first team.

The Royal Society has also announced the hiring of Roberto Vazquez (Madrid, 1983) to fill the position of Alemán in the subsidiary in Second division. To date, he was Real Madrid's goalkeeping coach, a job he has performed for the last 14 seasons, of which the last three have been for the first Madrid team. Vázquez has also worked as a goalkeeping coach at Getafe and CD San ​​Fernando de Henares.

In its statement, the Real society wanted to send a thank you message to Luis Llopis, that lately had had some difference of opinion with other members of the realistic technical secretariat. His departure is very relevant because he had a lot of weight in the work team of Imanol Alguacil, with whom he was very attuned. “Likewise, Real Sociedad would like to thank Luis Llopis for his work and dedication during the three seasons that he has been as goalkeeping coach of the first team, at the same time that he wishes him good luck in the future,” said the San Sebastian club.
