Career

Born in Palmeira, Ribeira, Galicia,[1] Iglesias worked at CD Boiro and Pontevedra CF B before starting his senior managerial career with CSH Palmeira, in the Tercera Autonómica, in 2010.[2] After being an assistant at Portonovo SD, he joined Raúl Caneda's staff at Al-Ittihad FC.[3]

Iglesias returned to Spain in January 2013, after being retained in Saudi Arabia due to paperwork problems.[4] On 22 July of that year, he took over Atlético de Riveira also in the regional leagues.[5]

In July 2015, after working with Santiago de Compostela CF's Juvenil squad, Iglesias was named manager of Noia CF in Tercera División.[6] On 21 June of the following year, he took over fellow league team SD Compostela.[7]

In 2020, after reaching three consecutive play-offs with Compos,[8] Iglesias' side finally achieved promotion to Segunda División B, returning to the category after four seasons. He renewed his contract for a further campaign in August of that year.[9]

In May 2021, Iglesias left Compostela after five years,[10] and took over Primera División RFEF side Zamora CF on 23 November.[11]
