Playing career
Born in Berriatua, Biscay, Arrasate only played for lower league clubs during his ten-year senior career, the majority in Tercera División. In Segunda División B he represented SD Eibar B and Club Portugalete, being relegated with the latter team at the end of the 2005–06 campaign.
Arrasate retired in 2007 at only 29, after one season in the fourth level with SD Amorebieta. He only competed with sides in his native Basque Country.
Managerial career
Arrasate became a coach immediately after retiring, his first two clubs being amateur. In 2010, he returned to Real Sociedad where he had been groomed, being appointed manager of the youth teams.
In July 2012, Arrasate was promoted to Real's first team as assistant to Philippe Montanier. The following year, as the Frenchman left for Stade Rennais FC, he was named his successor. He led the team in their 2013–14 UEFA Champions League campaign, in which they defeated Lyon to qualify for the group stage, but finished bottom of the section.
In April 2014, Arrasate had his contract renewed until 2016. However, in November, he was relieved of his duties after a string of poor results.
Arrasate was appointed at the helm of CD Numancia on 12 June 2015, replacing Juan Antonio Anquela.
