Racing Santander have confirmed Juan Ramon Lopez Muniz as their coach for the new season.
Muniz has decided to leave Malaga despite leading the club to promotion back to La Liga from the Segunda Division.
He will replace Marcelino Garcia Toral in the hot-seat at El Sardinero and will take over a side which secured UEFA Cup football next season via a sixth-placed finish in the league.
"I want to confirm my move to the Santander, which already was an open secret," said Muniz.
"The deal was exceptional and I thank to all the members of the club and of the technical staff, who were without doubt one of the reasons for the promotion."
