José Manuel 'Manolo' Díaz Fernández (born 30 August 1968) is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who played as a forward.
Coaching career[edit]
Born in Madrid, Díaz began his managerial career at the Juvenil squad of Real Madrid, leaving the club in 2006 after the arrival of the new president Ramón Calderón. After a brief period in Mexico he returned to Spain, and was appointed at CDA Navalcarnero in summer 2008.[1]
Díaz was named coach of Real Madrid C a year later, following Florentino Pérez's return as president.[2] In 2011–12 he led the team to the second place in the regular season, and despite losing in the playoffs, saw them achieve promotion to Segunda División B due to administrative relegations.[1]
On 19 November 2013, Díaz replaced the fired Alberto Toril at the helm of the B side.[3] His first match in charge was four days later, a 0–0 home draw against CD Numancia.[4] Late into the year, he finally took the reserves out of the last position in Segunda División, after winning 13 out of a possible 15 points and four consecutive wins.[5]
In July 2014, Díaz was appointed at SD Ponferradina in the second division.[6] On 31 January 2016, after the sixth loss in seven matches, he was dismissed;[7] the campaign eventually ended in relegation.[8]
Díaz returned to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on 24 June 2017, being appointed youth system coordinator.[9] In late October 2018, as Santiago Solari was named Julen Lopetegui's successor in the first team, he replaced the former at Castilla.[10]
On 8 September 2021, following a brief spell in the Spanish third tier with Hércules CF,[11] Díaz was announced as the head coach of Indian Super League side SC East Bengal.[12][13][14] He resigned at the end of the year, following a poor start to the season.[15]
