Alberto Javier Lasarte Ruiz (born 8 May 1981) is a Spanish football manager , currently in charge of UD Almería B .
Born in Jaén , Andalusia , Lasarte began working in the youth categories of hometown side Real Jaén , and was in charge of the reserves in the 2010–11 season. In June 2011, he left the club to take over Villacarrillo CF in Primera Andaluza .[ 1]
Lasarte led the club to a first-ever promotion to Tercera División in 2012, and renewed his contract on 26 June 2013, after a 6th place finish in the debut campaign in the fourth tier .[ 2] On 12 May 2014, he was named sporting director of Linares Deportivo .[ 3]
On 14 March 2017, Lasarte was appointed manager of Linares, replacing sacked Miguel Rivera .[ 4] On 4 April, after just three matches, he was replaced by Juan Ferrando [ 5] and returned to the director role, now with the youth sides.[ 6]
In 2018, Lasarte joined UD Almería to work as manager of the Juvenil B squad, being also an analyst of Fran Fernández in the first team.[ 7] He later worked with the Cadete A team and in the scouting area of the club, before being named in charge of the Juvenil A on 24 July 2022.[ 8] [ 9]
Lasarte took the club to the Final of the Copa del Rey Juvenil for the first time ever, losing it to Real Madrid .[ 10] On 7 June 2023, he was appointed manager of the reserves in Tercera Federación .[ 11]
On 29 September 2023, Lasarte became the caretaker manager of Almería's first team in La Liga , in the place of Vicente Moreno .[ 12] His first professional match in charge occurred two days later, a 3–3 home draw against Granada CF .[ 13]
On 8 October 2023, after another match in charge of the main squad (a 3–0 loss to Athletic Bilbao ), Lasarte returned to his role with the B-team after the appointment of Gaizka Garitano as manager. The following 22 July, after leading the reserves to a promotion to Segunda Federación , he renewed his contract for two years.[ 14]
