Alberto Manuel Espigares López, better known as Albert Espigares, (born 8 May 1978) is a Spanish football manager.
Espigares did not have a career as a professional football player, dedicating himself mainly to the training of youth footballers in the academies of RCD Espanyol and Real Madrid CF.[1]
At the end of 2010, Espigares made the leap to Mexican football, being hired as director of the technical improvement area of Santos Laguna. [2] After being promoted to head of the club’s youth academy, he remained in the position until 2017.[3]
In June 2017, Espigares was appointed as head of the youth academy of Atlas F.C.[4] He remained in the position until December 2023, when he was sacked by the club following a restructuring.[5]
In February 2024, Espigares was appointed head of the youth academy of Club Puebla.[6]
On November 20, 2025, Espigares was appointed as manager of Puebla, replacing Hernán Cristante, marking the first time he held the top position as head coach of a club.[7] Espigares’ appointment was due to a new policy focused on developing homegrown players in response to the team’s financial difficulties.[8]
Espigares debuted as manager on January 9, 2026, in the match Puebla was defeated by Atlas with a score of 1–0.[9]
