Template:Spanish name Juan Carlos Garrido Fernández (born 29 March 1969) is a Spanish football manager, currently managing Club Brugge K.V. in the Belgian Pro League.
Football career
Born in Valencia,[1] Garrido started managing at only 24, his first club being local amateurs El Puig Club de Fútbol. In 1998–99 he coached CD Onda in Tercera División, as this side was then Villarreal CF's farm team, a club to which he would be closely associated in the following years.
In 2003 Garrido led Villarreal's reserves – Onda was now an independent team – to a fourth division promotion, then coached the side for a couple of months in 2004, also in that category.
In late January 2008, Garrido replaced sacked Juan Carlos Oliva at the helm of Villarreal B, eventually leading the team to the 11th position in Segunda División B and achieving a first-ever Segunda División promotion in the following season.
On 1 February 2010 he was appointed Villarreal first team's manager, following the dismissal of Ernesto Valverde after a 0–2 home loss against CA Osasuna.[2] On 26 April, before the La Liga season was over, Garrido was handed a contract set to expire in June 2011;[3] Villarreal finished in seventh position but, after RCD Mallorca was deemed ineligible for UEFA Europa League participation by UEFA due to financial irregularities, the Valencian took its place.
In his first full season at the helm of Villarreal, Garrido led the team to the fourth place in the league, with the subsequent UEFA Champions League qualification. The club also reached the last four in the Europa League, being ousted by eventual winners F.C. Porto.
In 2011–12, Garrido and Villarreal could not manage one single point in the Champions League, and the team ranked dangerously close to the relegation zone in the league in that period. On 21 December 2011, following a 0–2 home loss against CD Mirandés for the season's Copa del Rey (1–3 on aggregate), he was sacked.[4]
On 15 November 2012, Garrido replaced fired Georges Leekens at Club Brugge KV.[5][6]
