Cádiz CF has embarked on a new phase with the arrival of Imanol Idiakez, who takes over as technical director with the goal of simplifying the game and restoring confidence to a squad affected by adverse results.

Following the departure of the previous coach, whose management failed to revive the team's morale, the club from Cádiz is seeking a change of direction. The previous period was marked by a «mental block» that became evident in every matchday, despite some isolated victories that did not manage to dispel the psychological collapse of the team.
The crisis deepened with a succession of defeats that led to the dismissal of the previous coach after seven games. Now, the responsibility falls on Idiakez, who distances himself from the tactical conservatism of his predecessors, known for their limited offensive proposals.

"He is not coming with his book and his method to Cádiz CF, as he is the first to admit and see that right now, playing well with this team is akin to asking for pears from an olive tree."

The new coach, known for advocating ball possession from the back and combination play, has made it clear that his priority is to adapt to the current reality of the squad. His focus is on simplicity, aiming for players to assimilate basic concepts to improve defensive solidity and attacking effectiveness.
Despite the limited time available, Idiakez is confident that this simplification strategy is the best way to revitalize the team and avoid a negative outcome for the season, given the worrying lack of quality that, as interpreted from his words, he perceives in the locker room.
