Julio Velázquez Santiago (born 5 October 1981) is a Spanish football manager.
He began coaching at 15, and was the youngest ever Segunda División manager with Villarreal B at 30. He managed four other teams in that league.
Abroad, Velázquez spent several years in Portugal's Primeira Liga with Belenenses, Vitória de Setúbal and Marítimo. He also had a brief spell in the Italian Serie A, at Udinese.
Football career[]
Early years[]
Velázquez started training at the age of only 15, being in charge of youth teams in his hometown of Salamanca.[1] His first job as a senior came in 2004, with AD Peña Respuela in the regional leagues.[2]
Velázquez made his debut in the national leagues in 2010–11, being appointed at Polideportivo Ejido in the Segunda División B. He resigned in March, days after sporting director Enrique Burgos,[3] and the Andalusians eventually finished 14th.
Villarreal[]
Velázquez then joined Villarreal CF's setup, first being in charge of the C side. On 24 December 2011, as José Francisco Molina left the reserves for the main squad, he was appointed his successor, thus becoming the youngest person ever to coach a club in the Segunda División, aged 30 years and two months.[4]
On 13 June 2012, following the Yellow Submarine's top-flight relegation – which meant the B's also had to drop down a tier even though they finished in 12th position in division two – Velázquez was named first-team manager.[5] On 13 January of the following year, following a 1–1 away draw against UD Almería, he was relieved of his duties.[6]
Segunda División[]
In the following years, Velázquez continued to work in the second division, being relegated with Real Murcia even though the side finished in fourth position and qualified to the play-offs,[7] and being sacked by Real Betis after only five months in charge.[8][9] During roughly ten months and starting in December 2015, he was in charge of C.F. Os Belenenses in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.[10][11]
Velázquez returned to his country and its second tier on 13 October 2016, signing with AD Alcorcón.[12] He eventually managed to steer them out of the relegation zone and also ousted RCD Espanyol in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey, renewing his contract a two further years after the latter achievement.[13]
Italy and Portugal[]
On 4 June 2018, after narrowly avoiding relegation, Velázquez left Alcorcón.[14] From June–November of the same year he was in charge of Udinese Calcio of the Italian Serie A, being dismissed after only two league wins.[15]
Velázquez returned to the Portuguese top flight in November 2019, being appointed at Vitória F.C. until the end of the season.[16] He left by mutual consent the following 2 July, with the team three points above the relegation zone having not won any of the five games since the resumption of play following the COVID-19 break.[17]
On 11 March 2021, Velázquez became C.S. Marítimo's third manager of the campaign at the bottom-placed side.[18][19] His first match in charge was the following day, a 2–1 away win over C.D. Nacional in the Madeira derby.[20]
Velázquez was relieved of his duties on 11 November 2021, with his team second-bottom after 11 rounds.[21]
