Gabriel Heinze considered for Elche manager position amid Arsenal offer
Summary

Elche is reportedly considering Gabriel Heinze, currently an assistant at Arsenal, for their vacant managerial position following Eder Sarabia's departure. Heinze has only been with Arsenal since July 2025 and is thought to have an offer to extend his contract. Current candidates also include Pablo Hernandez, the head coach of Castellon, whose contract expires at the end of June. Heinze, who previously managed multiple clubs and was instrumental in Arsenal's success last season, represents a more experienced option for Elche. The club's owner, Christian Bragarnik, is still evaluating potential managers as they seek a replacement.
