Jesús Gómez Cos (born 26 October 1968) is a Spanish footballmanager and former player.[1]
Playing career
Cos was born in Maliaño in the municipality of Camargo, Cantabria, and began his career with Cantabrian Tercera División side Gimnástica de Torrelavega in 1988. After helping Gimnástica win their Tercera División group in 1989–90, he joined Laredo in the same division for the following season. He stepped up a tier to sign for Barakaldo in Segunda División B in 1992. In his only season with the club, he scored sixteen goals thirty four matches. He went on to play for a succession of clubs in the third tier, spending two seasons with Xerez, one with Numancia and two with Pontevedra before joining newly promoted Noja in 1998. Noja were relegated straight back to the Tercera División after just one season, and Cos stayed at the club until 2000. He added a second Tercera División group win in 1999–2000, before returning to Segunda División B with Tropezón. Tropezón were relegated that season, and Cos retired in 2001 at the age of 32.[2]
Alavés began the following season with yet another manager, Julio Bañuelos,[11] but he too was sacked just two games into the campaign,[12] with Cos then reappointed as manager.[13] After six wins from seventeen matches,[6] Cos was also fired in January 2007. Alavés went on to have six different managers that season, with Fabri González, José Garmendia, Mario Luna and Quique Yagüe all coaching the team at some stage.[13]
