José Manuel 'Manolo' Díaz Fernández (born 30 August 1968) is a Spanish football manager and former footballer, who is currently in charge of Indian Super League club East Bengal.
Managerial career[]
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.bnf
A year later, after the return of Florentino Pérez as a president, Díaz was named coach of Real Madrid C.[1] 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.
On 19 November 2013, Díaz replaced fired Alberto Toril at the helm of the B-side.[2] His first match in charge was four days later, a 0–0 home draw against CD Numancia;[3] 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.[4]
Díaz returned to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on 24 June 2017, being appointed youth system coordinator.[5] In late October 2018, as Santiago Solari was named Julen Lopetegui's successor in the first team, he replaced the former at Castilla.[6]
SC East Bengal[]
On 8 September 2021, Diaz was announced as the head coach of Indian Super League side East Bengal.[7][8]
