Javier "Javi" Rey Pérez (born 13 January 1985) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward, and the manager of SD Ponferradina.

Career

Born in Ourense, Galicia, Rey played for local sides SD Melias[1] and Sporting Celanova CF before retiring in 2008 at the age of 23, due to a knee injury.[2] Shortly after retiring, he returned to Melias and became their manager in the Primeira Autonómica.

In 2010, Rey was appointed manager of fellow sitxh division side CD Barco, but had to leave the club for personal reasons in the following year, and subsequently took over SD Nogueira de Ramuín of the same league.[3]

In 2013, Rey returned to Barco, with the club now in the Preferente Autonómica.[3] He led the side to promotion to Tercera División in 2015, before leaving in May 2018.[4]

On 5 December 2018, Rey was named manager of fellow fourth division side Céltiga FC.[5] He suffered relegation in his first season, and left for CSD Arzúa on 28 May 2020.[6]

On 1 July 2021, Rey returned to Barco for a third spell.[7] On 24 November of the following year, he left the club to take over Segunda Federación side CD Arenteiro, replacing Fran Justo.[8]

On 16 June 2023, after leading Arenteiro to a first-ever promotion to Primera Federación, Rey renewed his contract for a further year.[9] He opted to leave the club on 12 June 2024,[10] and agreed to take over fellow league team SD Ponferradina seven days later.[11]
