[article]Fernando Morientes has been unveiled as the new coach of Fuenlabrada and will take his first steps in the third tier after his spell in charge of Real Madrid's under-17s (Juvenil B).

The former 'Los Blancos' striker denied that he was offered the chance to be Rafa Benítez's assistant: "It was just a rumour. If it had happened, I don't know what I would have said".

Benítez: "He knows the club inside out. He's won a lot of trophies and forged a distinctive style of play. I wish him the best of luck because I'm very fond of him".

Why he chose Fuenlabrada: "Since I stopped coaching the youth team, my aim has been to return to the dugout. I had opportunities in top flights abroad but this is the right place for me to take a step forward. I'm really excited. I consider Madrid my home".

His philosophy: "I've always sought to take away the best from every coach I've worked with. I don't have a lot of coaching experience, but you could say the experience I gained during my playing career is more important".[/article]
