Survival hope
The 61-year-old replaces UD Almería-bound Gonzalo Arconada, the man responsible for taking the team from Soria into the Spanish top flight at the end of last term. Krešić, who was most recently in charge at HNK Hajduk Split in his native Croatia, has spent most of his career in Spain, coaching Real Betis Balompié and RCD Mallorca among others. He signed a one-year-deal with Numancia before confidently predicting: "We will keep our place in the top division."
