Luis Roberto García Toral (pronounced as /es/; born 30 May 1973) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a right-back.

Club career

Born in León, García managed to appear twice for Valencia CF's first team during the 1993–94 season in La Liga, but spent his career mainly in the Segunda División and Segunda División B. He made his debut in the top flight on 20 March 1994, playing 60 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Sporting de Gijón.[1]

García represented, other than Valencia, CD Castellón, Andorra CF, CP Almería, UE Figueres, CD Badajoz, UDA Gramenet, Terrassa FC and SD Huesca.[2] In June 2011, after contributing 12 matches (ten starts, 914 minutes of action) as the last club retained its second-tier status, he retired from football at the age of 38.

Coaching career

After his playing career, García embarked on his coaching career, initially coaching in Huesca's academy. Later he also took on a coordinator role at Canillas and a similar role at Real Madrid, both in the clubs' academies. In July 2016, García was appointed reserve team manager of Torrejón.[3]

On October 28, 2016, García left his position at Torrejón after accepting a job offer to become assistant coach to Antonio Calderón at Fuenlabrada.[4] He left the position ahead of the 2020-21 season, and was instead hired as assistant coach at AD Alcorcón under manager Mere Hermoso.[5] [6]
