The Atlético de Madrid Women's Team has a new coach to face the decisive stretch of the season. The red-and-white club announced this Saturday, January 24, the appointment of José Herrera as the head coach of the first team, a position he will hold until the end of the current season following the dismissal of Víctor Martín, which occurred last Thursday due to negative results and the recent elimination in the Spanish Super Cup.
Herrera faces an immediate and demanding challenge at the helm of the colchonero team. The new coach will lead the team in the last 13 matches of the Liga F, in addition to the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina, where Atlético will face Athletic Club at home, and the Champions League playoff against Manchester United.
The club highlights the trajectory and experience of the Canarian coach both nationally and internationally. In the last two seasons, Herrera has worked with the Al-Hilal women's team, gaining experience outside of Spain. Previously, he also managed teams like Granada and Tenerife, which enhances his knowledge of national women's football.
With this move, Atlético de Madrid Women's Team seeks a boost in the final stretch of the season and trusts that José Herrera will bring stability, competitiveness, and new energy to fight for the objectives still in play.
