however, Super Depor came to fruition, with several team players winning individual accolades and being called to the Spain national team as the side finished three consecutive campaigns in the top three; during this timeframe, he was named Manager of the Year three times, twice by Don Balón and once by El País. Iglesias retired from football after 1994–95. Midway through the following campaign, however, he accepted an offer from Real Madrid to replace the fired Jorge Valdano, with the Merengues finally ranking sixth and being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League by eventual winners Juventus FC. In 2005, Iglesias was appointed manager of the Galicia autonomous football team, working alongside Fernando Vázquez. In the previous decade, he also worked as a sports commentator. In 2016, Iglesias was bestowed with the highest recognition of Deportivo, a special insignia, and was declared "Blue and White Legend". The event took place at halftime of the last game of the 2015–16 season, at the Estadio Riazor.
