Luis García Plaza spoke after his arrival at Alavés: "It has been very good. I find the city very comfortable, green and close to everything. I'm looking forward to doing things well. Here there is a fan base that supports the team, goes to the pitch to help and we hope to repay them with a maximum effort".

"It seemed a matter of time, it's true. I made my debut here in Segunda A as a coach, at the age of 33, in charge of Elche. After that there were two approaches and one was very close, but I had a contract and it wasn't so easy. The time has come after those attempts and I hope that the memory that remains is a good one and that things go well.

"Yes, well, there were two offers that were much more economically succulent, but it was clear to me that I didn't want to leave at this time, and even more so when Alavés called me. I really wanted to come. My idea was to stay in Spain, although in soccer you can never be sure that you won't do something.
