Javier 'Manix' Mandiola Alberdi (born 9 April 1958) is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a forward, and is a current coach.

His managerial career of over two decades was spent almost entirely in Segunda División B, though he also managed in Segunda División with Eibar and Alavés.

Playing career

Born in Eibar, Gipuzkoa, Mandiola finished his graduation with SD Eibar, but only appeared notably with Sestao River Club in the 1985–86 season, playing for the Basque side in Segunda División.

Manager career

After hanging up his boots Mandiola was a manager of SD Eibar B. In 2003, he joined SD Beasain in Tercera División. After a season, Mandiola was appointed Real Unión manager, and despite finishing second in his first season, he was dismissed in his second due to poor results.

In 2006, Mandiola was appointed Eibar manager, and achieved promotion from the third level at first attempt. He managed to lead the club to a mid-table finish in their return to the second division, but was relieved to his duties nonetheless.

On 23 December 2008 Mandiola was appointed Deportivo Alavés manager.[http://archivo.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/2a_division/alaves/es/desarrollo/1194592.html Mandiola: "Si no viera posibilidades de mejora, no estaría aquí" (Mandiola: "If I did not see room for improvement, I would not be here")]; Marca, 23 December 2008 {{in lang|es}} He was sacked only less than two months later.[http://www.marca.com/2009/02/08/futbol/2adivision/1234124388.html El Alavés despide a Mandiola (Alavés sacks Mandiola)]; Marca, 8 February 2009 {{in lang|es}}
