Ángel López Pérez (born 5 April 1983) is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who is the current manager of Greek Super League club Volos.

Playing career

Born in Madrid, López represented Vicálvaro, Roma and San Fernando Henares as a youth before retiring at the age of 18 to start his studies.[1]

Managerial career

After retiring, he started working as a fitness coach at CD Coslada, subsequently having the same role at Internacional de Madrid, San Fernando CD and Getafe CF B.[1]

In 2007, López was included in Michael Laudrup's squad in Getafe's first team, again as a fitness coach.[1]

López followed Cosmin Contra to Getafe, Guangzhou R&F and Al Shabab Al Arabi Club Dubai, always as his assistant. In July 2017, he returned to Spain to work as Javier Casquero's assistant at Recreativo de Huelva,[2] but was appointed manager in November after Casquero's dismissal.[3]

López was sacked by Recre on 11 February 2018,[4] and on 10 October, he took over the Equatorial Guinea national team manager role.[5] On 28 September 2019, he resigned from the Nzalang.[6]

On 27 December 2019, López was named at the helm of Ecuadorian club Delfín for the ensuing campaign.[7] He was dismissed after three league matches.[8]

In September 2020 he became manager of Greek club Volos.[9] On 20 April 2021, he was released with a mutual agreement from Volos.[10]

In May 2021 he moved to Atromitos.[11] He later managed Uzbekistan Super League club Surkhon Termez and Cypriot club Ethnikos Achna.[12]

In November 2023 he returned to Volos.[13]
