Eibar and César Palacios have reached an agreement to extend the Navarrese sporting director's contract until June 2028, aiming to provide continuity to the 'armero' club's sports project.

Palacios joined the Gipuzkoan club in the summer of 2021, during a period of reconstruction following their relegation to the Second Division. Since then, he has been responsible for shaping the squad and the sports structure, successfully consolidating a "competitive team" that is "aligned" with the club's identity, as reported by Eibar.
Under his leadership, the team has consistently maintained a strong presence at the top of the league table, never dropping out of the top 10, and has reinforced a model based on "stability, performance, and sustainability." With this renewal, the Gipuzkoan club commits to "continuity" in a key area, solidifying a project that seeks to continue growing with "ambition and coherence" in professional football.

"Not just for me, but for the entire working group. These five seasons have made me feel like one more 'armero' with our disappointments and joys."

Palacios added that he maintains "intact enthusiasm" to continue working so that Eibar remains on its positive trajectory. "I want to give my all so that the club stays in the Second Division at least. We were very close to returning to the First Division. But we have always fought and risen from tough moments. I will continue working so that we can keep feeling proud of Ipurua and the Sports City," he concluded.
