In a recent La Liga match, Alavés, now managed by Quique Sánchez Flores following the departure of Eduardo Coudet, faced a disappointing defeat against Valencia, contributing to their ongoing struggles with relegation. Despite a commendable performance from Lucas Boyé, who scored twice, Alavés squandered a late lead and ultimately lost 3-2, deepening the club's concerns about staying in the top flight.

Coudet's exit from the club was marked by a positive note as he assured fans that the team had adequate resources to avoid relegation. His tenure saw Alavés through 55 matches with an equal number of wins and losses, but now the responsibility lies with Sánchez Flores to turn around the team's fortunes. The challenge is considerable, especially given the current standings in La Liga.

The defeat against Valencia is particularly concerning as it highlights the inconsistency and vulnerabilities of Alavés this season. With key matches coming up, the urgency to secure points is critical, and the players and coaching staff must rally together to address both tactical and motivational aspects to overcome the relegation threat.
