José Manuel 'Manolo' Díaz Fernández (born 30 August 1968) is a Spanish football manager.

Manager career

Born in Madrid, Díaz began his managerial career at the Juvenil squad of Real Madrid, leaving the club in 2006 after the arrival of the new president Ramón Calderón. After a brief period in Mexico he returned to Spain, and was appointed at CDA Navalcarnero in the 2008 summer.

A year later, after the return of Florentino Pérez as a president, Díaz was named coach of Real Madrid C.^[1] In 2011–12 he led the club to the second place in the regular season, and despite losing in the playoffs, saw it achieve promotion to Segunda División B due to administrative relegations.

On 19 November 2013, Díaz replaced fired Alberto Toril at the helm of the B-side.^[2] His first match in charge was four days later, a 0–0 home draw against CD Numancia;^[3] late into the year he finally took the reserves out of the last position in Segunda División, after winning 13 out of a possible 15 points and four consecutive wins.^[4]
