Luis Miguel Ramis


Luis Miguel Ramis Monfort is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a central defender, and is a coach.
He amassed La Liga totals of 165 matches and eight goals over nine seasons, mainly in representation of Deportivo, Real Madrid and Tenerife.

Playing career

Born in Tarragona, Catalonia, Ramis started his career with hometown club Gimnàstic de Tarragona and, already in his 20s, joined Real Madrid's reserves. In 1992–93 he managed seven La Liga appearances with the main squad, being definitely promoted for the following season.
In the 1994 Iberoamerican Cup, Ramis appeared in the second leg against Boca Juniors as a substitute, in a 1–2 loss in Buenos Aires. Shortly after, he moved to CD Tenerife as part of the deal involving Fernando Redondo and, after two solid top-flight campaigns, signed with fellow league side Sevilla FC, playing a career-best 39 matches albeit in a final relegation.
Ramis moved to firmly established Deportivo de La Coruña in 1997–98, initially acting as backup to Noureddine Naybet. After a relatively good first year, his career was severely marred by a double Anterior cruciate ligament/fibula injury from which he never fully recovered; in his last professional years after leaving Depor, he appeared in only 45 games combined as all his teams were relegated.

Coaching career

Ramis retired from the game in 2006, after three years in the fourth level. His first steps in coaching were spent in Real Madrid's youth categories.
On 5 January 2016, after Zinedine Zidane was promoted to the first team following the sacking of Rafael Benítez, Ramis was appointed as head coach of Real Madrid Castilla. After failing to promote his team in the playoffs, he left his post by mutual consent.
Ramis became UD Almería's second manager of the division two season on 14 March 2017. On 12 November, after eight matches without a win, he was sacked.
On 24 June 2018, Ramis signed as manager of second division club Albacete Balompié. He led them to fourth place in his first season, losing 2–1 on aggregate to RCD Mallorca in the playoff semi-finals. On 3 February 2020, he was dismissed with the team now in the relegation zone with three points from their last nine games, and following elimination from the Copa del Rey by third-tier UD Ibiza.
