Miguel Ángel Tena


Miguel Ángel Tena García is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and a current manager.

Club career

Born in Almassora, Province of Castellón, Tena joined up-and-coming Villarreal CF in 2003 from neighbouring Valencia CF, after finishing his football development with the latter and following a failed transfer to Real Madrid Castilla. He made his professional – and La Liga – debut in the 2003–04 season, but would only appear in one league match with his new club, being replaced at the hour-mark of a 1–2 away loss against CA Osasuna.
Subsequently, Tena resumed his career in the second division, with Racing de Ferrol, Polideportivo Ejido, Levante UD, Elche CF, Córdoba CF and CD Lugo, playing 242 games at that level over one full decade.
