Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea (born 4 July 1971), known simply as Imanol, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right back, and is a current coach.
He appeared in 121 games in La Liga over the course of nine seasons (eight goals scored), representing Real Sociedad and Villarreal. In 2014, he started working as a manager.
Born in Orio, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Imanol was a Real Sociedad youth graduate. He made his senior debuts with the reserves, playing two full seasons in Segunda División B.
On 29 September 1990, Imanol made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Real Oviedo. He was definitely promoted to the main squad in summer 1991, and went on to appear regularly in the following campaigns.
Imanol scored his first professional goal on 20 September 1992, netting his side's first in a 2–1 away win over Albacete Balompié. He featured rarely during the final years of his stint at the Anoeta Stadium as he dealt with several injury problems, leaving the club in 1998 after playing only four matches during the season.
Subsequently, Imanol joined Villarreal CF also in the top division, appearing sparingly and suffering team relegation. After returning to the top tier in 2000 he was released, and moved to Segunda División's Real Jaén.
