Abel Gómez Moreno (born 20 February 1982), known simply as Abel, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder, and is the current manager of CF Rayo Majadahonda.

He totalled 351 matches and 30 goals across the two major levels of Spanish football, 102 and six being in La Liga where he represented Murcia, Xerez, Granada and Córdoba.

Club career[]

Abel was born in Seville. After beginning professionally with Sevilla FC's B team, he joined Andalusian neighbours Málaga CF in the same situation, helping to a two-year Segunda División stint.

The following season, Abel signed with Real Murcia, being instrumental in their return to La Liga after a three-year absence, although an immediate relegation would befall in 2008. In that summer he joined FC Steaua București, resigning after only four months with the team.[1] He returned to Spain and its second division by joining Xerez CD in late January 2009, still being able to appear in 15 games (12 starts) to the club's first-ever top flight promotion.

Abel contributed roughly the same numbers – although in a full season – as Xerez were immediately relegated. In late August 2010 he moved to another side in that region and tier, recently-promoted Granada CF. In his debut campaign he only missed one league match in 42 (3,366 minutes of action), helping to a top-flight return after an absence of 35 years.[2][3]

For 2012–13, Abel returned to division two with neighbouring Córdoba CF. He scored five goals in his second season, which ended in promotion after more than four decades.[4]

Abel achieved another promotion in the 2015–16 campaign, with Segunda División B team Cádiz CF. Late into the 2017 January transfer window, the 35-year-old signed with Lorca FC.[5]

On 31 January 2018, after helping the club in first-ever promotion to the second tier, Abel cut ties with Lorca[6] and signed for UCAM Murcia CF just hours later.[7] In July that year, he moved across the third division to Atlético Sanluqueño CF,[8] and he retired in January 2019 to replace the fired Rafa Carrillo as their manager.[9]

On 9 March 2020, Gómez was dismissed after six consecutive losses.[10] On 9 March 2021, he was named manager of third division side CF Rayo Majadahonda.[11]
