Ricardo Rodríguez Suárez (born 3 April 1974), is a Spanish football coach.

Education

Born in Oviedo, Asturias, Rodríguez was a Real Oviedo youth graduate, but a serious knee injury forced him to leave his footballing career.[1] He has a bachelor's degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences from the University of A Coruña (1994–1998), and between 2000 and 2002 he obtained a PhD in physical Activity and Sport Sciences at the University of Oviedo while studying a master's degree in Sports High Performance provided by the Spanish Olympic Committee at the same time.[1]

From 2003 until 2006 Rodríguez completed the necessary studies to obtain the coaching badge from UEFA Pro Licence, provided by the Spanish Football Federation.

Managerial career

Rodríguez started his career in 1998 at his former club Oviedo, being named the reserves' coach. In 2001 he was promoted to the main squad in Segunda División.[2]

In 2003 Rodríguez worked as a director and manager of Real Madrid's youth school in México City, along with Alberto Gil and Xabier Azkargorta.[3] He remained in charge for three years and subsequently returned to his home country, being appointed manager of Girona FC's youth setup.
