Milagros "Mila" Martínez Domínguez (born 23 April 1985) is a Spanish football manager.

Early life

Born in Cuenca, Spain, Martínez lived in her family's village, Fuentelespino de Haro, until she turned 18. Later, she played as a defender for a Spanish college team, as well as Segunda División side Fundación Albacete.[1] She later went on to work as a coach, and then youth team co-ordinator, for Fundación Albacete.[2][3][4]

After winning in the first round of the 2021 Emperor's Cup, Martínez's Point Getters were drawn against Vissel Kobe.[13]
