Francisco Javier "Fran" Fernández Díaz (born 20 March 1980) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of UD Almería.

Career

Fernández started his career at Polideportivo Aguadulce, as a director of football and manager. He subsequently acted as an assistant manager at AD Adra and CD Español del Alquián before being named manager of AD Parador in 2009.[1]

In November 2011, Fernández was appointed Héctor Berenguel's assistant at Polideportivo Ejido in Segunda División B, but the club subsequently folded in the same campaign.[2] The following July he joined UD Almería, initially in charge of the Cadete squad.[3]

After progressing through the club's youth setup, Fernández was appointed manager of the reserves in Tercera División on 29 June 2016.[4] On 28 February of the following year, he was named manager of the main squad, after the dismissal of Fernando Soriano.[5]

Fernández's first professional match in charge occurred on 5 March 2017, a 2–1 Segunda División away win against CD Lugo.[6] His tenure ended nine days later, after the appointment of Luis Miguel Ramis.

Fernández was in charge of the first team in an interim manner for one more occasion during the 2017–18 season, replacing fired Ramis. On 24 April 2018, after Lucas Alcaraz's resignation, he was appointed manager of the main squad until the end of the campaign.[7]
