Get to know UD Maracena, Valencia CF's opponent in the first round of the Copa del Rey
Founded in 1945, the Granada-based team plays in the Andalusian División de Honor and won the 2025 Andalusia Cup.
Joining new coach Javi Gracia in the dugout in the 2020/21 season will be the following additions to the coaching staff:
Fitness coach Juan José Solla, who has worked with Gracia since his time at Pontevedra CF in 2007.
Analyst and assistant coach Zigor Aranalde, as well as analysts Isidre Madir and Iñigo Arteaga.
Chema Sanz, who will act as a link between the first team and the VCF Academy. Sanz was previously VCF Mestalla coach, and assistant to Voro González for the final games of the 2019/20 season.
José Manuel Otxotorena will remain as goalkeeping coach.
“When I arrive at a club, I have almost always used homegrown staff. We talk a lot about promoting from the youth system, and for me it is positive to have people who know the club and who have collaborated at youth level. I always had a homegrown assistant at Málaga, Almería and Cádiz," said Gracia.
