Coaching career

The beginnings

Alcaraz's first notable station as a club coach was his engagement with Granada CF , where he worked in Segunda División B for three years between 1995 and 1998 . In the 1998/1999 season he was coach at the traditional club UD Almería , but he could not prevent relegation to the Tercera División . Despite this failure, Lucas Alcaraz received the trust of Tercera División promoted Dos Hermanas CF , with whom he held the class, in the following season .

Recreativo Huelva

In the two years from 2001 to 2003, Lucas Alcaraz worked at Recreativo Huelva . Right away he and his new team achieved promotion to Spain's elite league - after more than 20 years of abstinence and a long period in Spanish amateur football. But the second year at "Recre" was anything but happy for him - as third from bottom you had to return to the Segunda División .

Racing & Xerez

Despite the relegation, his popularity rose across Spain and he was able to stay in the Primera División , as he was signed by Racing Santander in the summer of 2003 . In the seasons 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 he reached relegation with the Cantabrians. Despite these successful years, Alcaraz was fired in February 2005. Lucas Alcaraz returned to the Segunda División for the 2005/2006 season. At the end of the season he narrowly failed with Deportivo Xerez on promotion and was replaced by José "Pepe" Murcia .

Real Murcia

Lucas Alcaraz has coached Real Murcia since 2006 . In his first season he reached third place with his team in the Segunda División  - with a remarkable 13 points ahead of fourth place - which was enough for promotion. He was then named the best coach in the Murcia region by the local press. After the first half of the 2007/2008 season, Lucas Alcaraz and his team were in the middle of the relegation battle in the first Spanish division and after a weak start in the second half (only one point from seven games) he was replaced by his compatriot Javier Clemente .

Since 2008

In the summer of 2008, Lucas Alcaraz took over the vacant position of coach at the financially troubled first division relegated UD Levante , where he was dismissed after a few days because the club from Valencia was taken over by an investor group and they introduced Luis García as the new coach . On October 7, 2008, he signed a contract with the first division club Recreativo Huelva , where he had previously worked successfully. Alcaraz worked in Huelva until the end of the 2008/09 season, then worked for two years at FC Córdoba , one year at UD Almería and only two months at Aris Thessaloniki . On January 30, 2013 Alcaraz signed a contract with FC Granada . He left the club at the end of the 2013/14 season and succeeded José Luis Mendilibar at Levante UD in October 2014 . Most recently he was the coach of Real Zaragoza , where he was sacked in December 2018.
