Coaching career
Real Sociedad
Arrasate became a coach immediately after retiring, his first two clubs being amateur. In 2010, he returned to
Real Sociedad where he had been groomed, being appointed coach of the
youth teams .
[4]
In July 2012, Arrasate was promoted to Real's first team as assistant to
Philippe Montanier .
[5] The following year, as the Frenchman left for
Stade Rennais FC , he was named his successor.
[6] He debuted in
La Liga on 17 August with a 2–0 home win against
Getafe CF ,
[7] and led the team in their
campaign in the
UEFA Champions League , in which they defeated
Olympique Lyonnais to qualify for the group stage for the first time in a decade,
[4] but finished bottom of
the section .
[8]
In April 2014, after having taken Real to
the semi-finals of the
Copa del Rey where they lost 3–1 on aggregate to
FC Barcelona , Arrasate had his contract renewed until 2016.
[9] He was sacked on 2 November after a 3–1 loss to
FC Krasnodar in the
play-off round of the
UEFA Europa League , followed by one win from ten at the start of the
league season .

Juan Antonio Anquela .
[11] On his debut on 23 August, the team won 6–3 at home to
CD Tenerife on the first day of the
second-division season ;
[12] towards the end of a 10th-place finish he was rewarded with one more season in the job.
[13]
In June 2017, despite
finishing 17th – then the joint worst in Numancia's Segunda history – Arrasate received another extension at the
Nuevo Estadio Los Pajaritos .
[14] In
the ensuing season he led the
Sorians to the finals of
the play-offs , but missed out promotion after a 4–1 aggregate loss to
Real Valladolid ; he stepped down on 18 June 2018.
[15]

On 20 June 2018, Arrasate was named
CA Osasuna manager after agreeing to a one-year contract.
[16] He renewed his contract until 2020 the following 5 March,
[17] and
achieved promotion to La Liga as champions.
[18]
Arrasate signed another new deal on 18 November 2019, tying him to the Rojillos until June 2022.
[19] Six days later the team lost 2–1 at home to local rivals
Athletic Bilbao , ending a club-best 602 days unbeaten at the
El Sadar Stadium .
[20]
On 7 March 2022, Arrasate's contract was extended for two more years, with the news being broken through a banner on the Avenida Carlos III in
Pamplona .
[21] In the
ensuing season , he led Osasuna to the
Spanish Cup final for the first time in 18 years after a 2–1
extra-time win at home to
Sevilla FC in the quarter-finals
[22] and a 2–1 aggregate defeat of Athletic in the next round;
[23] they lost the
decisive match 2–1 to
Real Madrid .
[24] In the domestic league, a seventh-place finish meant
qualification for the
UEFA Europa Conference League in a return to Europe for the first time in 16 years.
[25]
