REY Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Officialy our new old coach that I adore and here follows my article generally on people that I admire/d (also updated the wikipedia as well) Basic (personal) infos Enrique "Quique" Hernandez Marti was born in the small place of Anna in the region of Valencia, in October 30, 1958. As a young man started to play football and organized his life to study the metal intustry, besides football. From an early age started to be involved and close to youth categories up untill he finally took the final decision to dedicate himself entirely and professionally to football- a decision which he never questioned, as he admitted that football was his life and he was committed in the profession. As far as his football career is concerned, early injuries started to play the main role, so he didn't have some impact career and all that directed him from quite an early age to evolve in working, with much luck, and linking to teams, good groups of people, players and managers to finally step up, fill in his coaching career's account by leading Levante, Elche, Castellon, Hercules, Almeria, Lleida, Numancia, Recreativo de Huelva, Aris Thessaloniki, Albacete Balompie. Certain attributes of himself and his teams Good and more-less attacking home play, tough away and solid defense overall. Respected, serious, influential, focusing on good discipline and hard work, experienced coach prioritizing primarily results and gathering points to fulfil objectives and then second comes attractiveness...Very respected amongst Aris fans mainly due to very successful first course with their beloved club. Preferred system/s is one of 3-man defenses (3-5-2, 3-6-1), although still modern 4-man defenses are not unknown for him either (as he also adopted 4-3-3 recent years, especially with Aris). Coaching Career Spain He is a football technician with big experience in Spain that first time in his 48 came to coach abroad (Aris in Greece). All in his country speak with good reasons especially for the fact that after almost in all the teams that has worked with in his homeland he showed very good effort. Quique Hernandez, as afore-mantioned began coaching relatively early, in 1990, undertaking the small team of third category Benidorm. The next time he went to CD Castellon and he did not hesitate to give chances in a 17 year old „kid“ in a match of the Segunda Division. This kid, however, developed later into a very good Spanish footballer, known to all of us as Gaizka Mendieta! A year later, he undertook for the first time Hercules CF from Alicante, when they fought for four successive years in Segunda B (third division) of the Spanish football. In his first year there he did not loose hope at the end, however the next season he went up and promoted the team in „Segunda Division“ and the fans loved him. After all, he did not remain there due to the disagreement with the management and went to the hateful opponent of Hercules, Elche CF. For some period he worked in Elche and then returned, in the season 1996-97, once again in Hercules when they were in the La Liga. His second „shot“, however, was not so much good, after the team was relegated, regardless, Mr. Hernandez remained also for the second time there keeping them in the „Segunda Division“. Afterwards undertook Almeria without something particular to recall, while passed also in UE Lleida, in the season 2000-01. For a little, remained unemployed up to the season 2003-04 when finally undertook the reins of CD Numancia that fought in „Segunda Division“ and promoted them comfortably to the Primera coaching the team and playing them very good football and having the best attack in the championship netting 60 goals. The next season he undertook Recreativo de Huelva aiming at, also, the promotion into the Primera, doing it successfully almost up to the end, more concretely did not accomplish finally, failing in the last match. The common element of these two seasons is that so much Numancia, what with Huelva played aggressive and beautiful football, the element, that is to say, of Aris FC under Guillermo Hoyos on the bench, as well. In the season 2006-07 began the year on the bench of Cordoba CF, but the mediocre course of Andalusians led him to an early retirement. After the Aris first and successful course, he took over Albacete Balompie in the beginning of 2007-08 season but he didn't keep himself there for too long before finally resigned in November due to the loss of motivation, further disappointment and figuring out that his team was qualitatively and roster-weakened after all (Libero Parri was easily allowed to go to Cadiz CF by the management for example ). Greece (Aris FC) In any case it is a trainer that suits in the philosophy of yellows from Thessaloniki and showed capable of helping the team. In his first period with Aris, in 5 months of his service he managed to take 26 points (8W, 2D, 3L)where notable matches were those of winning over PAO away (0:1) and drawing against Olympiakos away (0:0). He had led and secured Aris the UEFA Cup berth for the following season (2007-08) before eventually his contract was not extended at the end of the season 2006-07 due to unsatisfying the management where still some word had the special collaborator Manel Ferrer, concretely due to the football policy differences after Quique asked for a few more experienced players to be added on the young roster. In july 3 (2008) he rapidly and gladly accepted/signed an one-year proposal after Dušan Bajević suddenly quit due to the disagreements with management on the potential limitted time of Aris' ex star player Avraam Papadopoulos after refusing to renew his contract. Never questioned the pride nor turned down, something that many coaches take into serious consideration while deciding to rejoin their previous clubs, showed once again that he has great simpathies with fellow and yellow Thessalonikians after being given the chance to finish off his mission once he already started and then was unfairly stopped more than 13 months ago, enjoying the absolute confidence by Ioannis Kontis and Lambros Skordas for the new appointment in Aris without a single competition for the place to quick-fill in the empty spot of Bajević's departure. Some players that he coached -Well recognized Gaizka Mendieta, -Tote- a Real Madrid youngster (once very promising), former Marseille and Valladolid player, -Xisco Nadal- this was one of very promising youngsters in the beginning of the new millennium (ex-Villareal), - Dumitru Rosu- who followed Quique to Recreativo from Numancia too, -Pablo Coira (ex-Aris), -creative Portuguese Paulo Costa in his first coaching time in Aris, -Sergio Koke ... and some even followed and played for him in at least 2 clubs (Rosu, Pablo Coira, Alex Perez...)

REY Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 I just made some slight corrections in the "basic infos" like commas and these little stuffs like words' order in 2 occasions which I had made in a hurry that I noticed while rechecking it again...but anyways nothing spectacular as everything is on wikipedia. ;) But what I want to post here is rather Quique's very brave and high setting objectives for the coming seasion, something that Bajević for some reasons didn't have courage to do. We still intend to attack and try to break the trinity and potentially try for the cup. Even many players think like that and support such as Calvo, Javito, Koke and company, if you ask them, and I heard in interviews. The other issue is whether it is realistic to expect or not, especially after PAO's overspending and AEK's wise moves + we can't forget Olympiakos traditionally...but it is great to start from something, not being afraid. Also, Quique said that still we have better roster than what he saw and had on his first course with us 1,5 years ago. Very good. :tup: I believe in Quique.

Yellow Stams Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't believe in Quique. Against Slaven Belupo he was unacceptable. My opinion for the game and Quique is here: http://aristhessalonikis.wordpress.com/200...01/apokleismos/ http://aristhessalonikis.wordpress.com/200...islevadiakos20/ I'm sorry, this is my opinion.

REY Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 For now Kike is safe. Kontis said in his speech that there was no issue about the coach yet, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
