surprise, even to club president Joxemari Aperribay, who admitted not knowing Matarazzo before making the choice.<\/li>\n<li>Aperribay revealed that he had consulted an AI about Matarazzo, which advised against the appointment, but he ultimately listened to sporting director Erik Bretos.<\/li>\n<li>Matarazzo impressed Bretos with his in-depth analysis and knowledge about the team, leading to his official presentation on December 21.<\/li>\n<li>During Matarazzo\u2019s period out of football, he worked on becoming more selective with player information to avoid overthinking, focusing on clarity and instinctual play.<\/li>\n<li>Under Matarazzo&#8217;s leadership, Real Sociedad exhibited impressive form, winning four consecutive matches starting in January, including key victories against Osasuna and defending champions FC Barcelona.<\/li>\n<li>Matarazzo\u2019s successful tenure included four wins in 20 matches with only four defeats\u2014all on the road against top-tier competition.<\/li>\n<li>Real Sociedad&#8217;s winning momentum faltered with a surprising 0-1 defeat against Getafe, just two days after their cup victory
