Imanol has consistently expressed his eagerness to continue working in football, and has made it clear that he is not opposed to exploring new opportunities. His statement, "I always said I didn't feel tired. I think it was the right time to leave and make this decision, and in this sense I am happy. If there was a good opportunity, I would be really excited to leave, but otherwise I am in no hurry," suggests that he is open to considering new challenges.

Two clubs, Sevilla and Al-Shabab, have taken an interest in Imanol's services. Al-Shabab's current coach, Fatih Terim, is under pressure, and Imanol is being considered as a potential replacement. This development has sparked speculation about Imanol's future, with many wondering where he will end up next.
