Jaime Álvarez Díaz (born 4 February 1986) is a Spanish football manager and former player who played as a winger.
Álvarez was born in Oviedo, Asturias, and was a Real Oviedo youth graduate. He made his senior debut while on loan at Tercera División side CD Universidad de Oviedo in 2005, helping in their promotion to Segunda División B before renewing his loan for another season.
Back at Oviedo for the 2007–08 campaign,[1] Álvarez featured regularly before returning to the Uni in 2009, now on a permanent contract. In 2011, he moved to fellow fourth tier side CD Covadonga, scoring a career-best 23 goals in his first season.
Álvarez joined Caudal Deportivo also in the fourth division in June 2015,[2] achieving promotion to the third level in his first campaign. On 12 June 2017, he returned to Cova,[3] and was a regular starter for the side until leaving on 29 June 2021.[4]
In 2020, while still a player, Álvarez joined Covadonga's backroom staff, and was named manager of their Juvenil A squad.[5] On 29 June 2021, he was appointed manager of Oviedo's reserves in Tercera División RFEF.[6]
On 3 June 2022, after achieving promotion to Segunda Federación, Álvarez renewed his contract for a further year.[7] On 16 October, he was named interim manager of the main squad as Bolo was sacked,[8] but returned to his previous role two days later after the appointment of Álvaro Cervera.
On 8 April 2024, Álvarez was sacked by Vetusta following a poor run of results which saw the side in the relegation places, with four games left to play.[9]
