About Joseba Etxeberria

Joseba Andoni Etxeberria Lizardi is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mostly as a winger, currently a manager. Etxeberria also featured for the unofficial Basque Country side in 11 matches, a record number of appearances at the time which was honoured by the territorial federation upon his retirement. Etxeberria began a coaching career after retiring, his first job being with the Basque Country representative youth teams. On 16 February 2025, Etxeberria was dismissed after five games without a win and a 17th place in the league; in the process, he became the first coach to be shown the door by the club in 15 years. On 17 September, he was fired by Tenerife after the team failed to record a victory in the first five league matches of the season.
