Manager career

Born in A Coruña, Galicia, De la Barrera started his managerial career with Ural CF's youth categories in 2004, having previously represented the club, Victoria CF and Orillamar SD as a player.[1] After being in charge of Atlético Arteixo and Montañeros CF's Juvenil squads,[2] he was named manager of Tercera División side GCE Villaralbo on 27 May 2010.[1]

De la Barrera took Villaralbo to two consecutive play-offs during his spell at the club,[3] but still left in June 2012. After one full season without a club, he was appointed CD Guijuelo manager on 18 July 2013.[4]

In his debut campaign in Segunda División B, De la Barrera again reached the play-offs, being knocked out by CD Leganés. On 30 June 2014, he was appointed at the helm of fellow third-tier club Real Valladolid B.[5]

On 1 July 2015 De la Barrera returned to Guijuelo,[6] but only finished the season in the sixth position. On 27 May of the following year he was appointed manager of Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa,[7] achieving promotion to Segunda División as champions in his first campaign.[8]

De la Barrera's first professional match occurred on 18 August 2017, a 0–2 away loss against Lorca FC.[9] On 8 June of the following year, after suffering relegation in the last round, he was named Asier Garitano's assistant at Real Sociedad.[10]

In December 2018, De la Barrera began his first job abroad, taking over on an 18-month contract at Al Ahli SC (Doha) who were 5th in the Qatar Stars League.[11] Shortly before completing a year in the position, he left the 7th-placed club by mutual agreement.[12]
