Ángel Pérez García (born 16 October 1957) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defender, and a current manager.

Playing career

Born in Madrid, García joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 1973 at the age of 16, after impressing in a trial.[1] He played his first professional match on 3 September 1978, appearing with the reserves in a 1–2 away loss against AD Almería for the Segunda División championship.[2]

García was promoted to the main squad in April 1980, and made his La Liga debut on the 5th by replacing injured Gregorio Benito in a 1–0 home success over Sporting de Gijón.[3] After appearing in only ten league matches during the following campaign, he was loaned to second level club Real Murcia.

García subsequently returned to Real Madrid in the 1982 summer, and was sold to Elche CF also in the second division. After achieving promotion in his second season, he returned to Murcia in 1985, going on to alternate between the top flight and the second tier during his spell.

García left the Pimentoneros in 1991, and joined amateurs CD Roldán. He retired in 1992, aged 34.

Managerial career

In 2004, García was appointed youth coordinator at UD Almería, becoming manager of the B-side in the following season. After two years as an instructor of Real Madrid's coaches in Central America, he joined Sangonera Atlético CF as head coach in June 2009.

On 3 December 2009, García was named CF Atlético Ciudad manager.[4] He was sacked in February.

On 12 February 2011, García was appointed at Ittihad El Shorta.[5] He was relieved of his duties in the following year, and joined New Radiant SC in the Maldives on 27 November 2013.[6]

On 7 May 2014, García moved to Piast Gliwice.[7] On 18 March 2015, he was sacked by the Polish club.[8]
