ENTRENADOR / TRAINER - José Luis Oltra

In 2006-2007, for the second season running, we had four people in charge as trainer of Tenerife. No thought of continuity at our club as the third "permanent" appointment, Casuco, went by mutual agreement (jumping before he was pushed no doubt) after a terrible run of home form and was replaced for the last two games of the season by his assistant Toño Hernández.

It had been widely assumed that a permanent replacement wwould be found in the form of José Luis Oltra, at the time trainer of Ciudad de Murcia who had an excellent season finishing in fourth place three points ahead of Tenerife but who were then sold in a "franchise" deal and will play in Mortil on the southern coast as "Granada 74" from August 2007. Toño Hernández continues as assistant trainer and José María Sanz as physical instructor.

Oltra was born in Valencia in 1969 and has trained Catarroja (2001-2), Castellón ( 2002-4), Levante B and Levante (2004-6) before taking up his current post at Ciudad de Murcia for this season. In all these jobs his teams have finished just few points short of promotion - let's hope he can take that one step further with us.

As a player he had a career mainly in the lower divisions:

• 91-92: Sabadell (2ª Div)
• 93-94 Levante UD (2ª Div “B”)
• 94-95 Yeclano (2ª Div “B”)
• 95-96 Elche (2ª Div “B”)
• 96-00 Yeclano (2ª Div “B”)
• 00-01 Ontinyent (3ª Div)

PLANTILLA PROFESIONAL / THE SQUAD

The numbers below are those assigned to the players in 2007-8. The squad is limited to 25 players in total by the rules of the Spanish Football Association (except for young players ceded from Tenerife B who are / will be given numbers above 25).
