The next on the list is Benat Labaien — Xabi Alonso’s Quiet Tactical Specialist

Benat Labaien is one of the key tactical figures inside Alonso’s trusted coaching circle.

Although he stays away from the spotlight, Labaien has quietly become an important part of Alonso’s modern football project through his tactical intelligence, analytical work, and detailed match preparation.

Background

The Spanish coach built his reputation through youth development, tactical analysis, and assistant coaching roles before joining Alonso’s setup.

He has worked alongside Alonso during his stint at real Sociedad and Bayer Leverkusen

and became known internally as one of the staff members heavily involved in tactical organization and opponent preparation.

What He Brings

1. Tactical Analysis

Labaien is heavily involved in: studying opponents,
identifying weaknesses and helping create game plans.

His work helps teams prepare for:

pressing patterns,build-up structures,defensive transitions,and attacking spaces.

2. Video & Match Preparation

Modern football is driven by detail, and Labaien plays a major role in:
video analysis,tactical presentations,player instruction clips,and pre-match preparation.

This helps players understand exactly how Alonso wants games controlled.

3. Positional Play & Structure

One thing Alonso’s teams are praised for is their organization.

Labaien contributes to:positional discipline,structured pressing,compact defensive shapes,and fluid attacking rotations.

At Bayer Leverkusen , those ideas helped produce one of Europe’s most tactically balanced sides.

Coaching Style

Labaien represents the new generation of modern football coaches:analytical,data-aware,tactically flexible,detail-obsessed,and system-focused.

Rather than being a loud touchline personality, he works more as a tactical architect behind the scenes.

In football today is no longer just about one manager.

Elite clubs now rely on specialist coaching departments, and Benat Labaien is exactly the type of coach modern managers trust to turn ideas into functioning systems on the pitch.

He may not dominate headlines, but inside Alonso’s setup, he’s considered one of the brains helping drive the tactical machine.

Explorando un poco el mercado brasileño, ahora que hay tanto jugador 🇪🇨…. me di cuenta que hay uno de los nuestros en el Cuerpo Técnico del Botafogo: Luis Piedrahita.

Trabajó en IDV con Miguel Ángel Ramírez, luego lo acompañó en Inter de Porto Alegre, Charlotte, tuvo un paso por el Leganés de 🇪🇸 y ahora lo pidió Martín Anselmi para su nuevo reto en Brasil.

Ojalá le vaya bien allá, pueda crecer y hacer carrera. No son muchos los DT ecuatorianos que han logrado consolidarse en el exterior.
