Reserve team coach David Gallego ensured the season ended with a flourish, guiding them to four wins and a draw in their remaining five matches to secure an 11th-placed finish. The Espanyol post is the 12th job of Rubi's nomadic managerial career, which has seen him take in spells at Girona, Valladolid, Levante and Sporting Gijón before taking charge of Huesca at the start of the 2017-18 campaign.
