[4] He subsequently managed lower league sides in the Community of Madrid, notably CF Rayo Majadahonda for two different spells, where he achieved promotion to Segunda División B in his third season. [2]

Iriondo subsequently managed CD Manchego before being appointed Rayo Vallecano B manager in 2002. On 14 April 2003, he replaced the fired Gustavo Benítez at the helm of the main squad in La Liga. [5]

Subsequently, Iriondo was appointed at the helm of CD Toledo (two stints), [7] [8] CD San Fernando, [9] San Fernando CD (two stints) [10] [11] and Rayo Majadahonda.

On 27 May 2018, Iriondo achieved promotion to Segunda División with the Majariegos, after beating FC Cartagena in the play-offs. [14] On 11 June of the following year, after suffering relegation, he resigned. [15]
