Jesús María "Txus" Serrano Eugui (born 29 April 1973) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current coach.

He represented mainly Gimnàstic during a 15-year senior career, representing for the club in all three major levels and appearing in 221 competitive games.

Football career

Born in Pamplona, Navarre, Serrano started his career with local CA Osasuna B, appearing in two third division seasons with the team. In the 1995 summer he moved to another side in the category, CD Numancia, and remained there for the following campaigns, representing UD San Pedro and CP Almería.

In 1999–2000 Serrano joined another club in the third level, Gimnàstic de Tarragona, achieving promotion to division two in his second year but being immediately relegated back (14 league appearances from the player in the latter season). In 2005–06 he helped to another promotion, now to La Liga, but his input in the competition consisted of two matches – 29 minutes against Sevilla FC (1–2 away loss) and 90 against Recreativo de Huelva (1–1 at home) – as the Catalans went on to rank 20th and last; he subsequently retired from football, aged 34.

Post-playing career

After his retirement, Serrano stayed with Nàstic, working as a scout for the club. In early November 2011, after the departure of manager Juan Carlos Oliva and his assistant Ismael Mariani, he joined the new boss Jorge D'Alessandro's coaching staff.[1]

On 10 July 2013, Serrano was named assistant manager at CE Sabadell FC.[2] He renewed his link on 9 June of the following year,[3] and was appointed interim manager on 5 February 2015 as a replacement for Álex García who resigned;[4] his tenure ended five days later, after the appointment of Juan Carlos Mandiá.
