Esteban Vigo

Coaching career Taking up coaching afterwards, Vigo began in his native Andalusia with Almería, and continued to work mainly in the region, also having an abroad spell in Romania. In 2009, he led Xerez to their first top-tier promotion; in July 2009, he switched to another side in the Segunda División, moving to Hércules and achieving the same as runner-up, with the Alicante club returning to the top flight after 13 years.

Vigo was sacked by Hércules on 21 March 2011, following a 0–4 home loss against Osasuna; it was the team's fourth consecutive defeat of the season, winning just one point out of 15 possible. He was named as the new manager Almería on 4 April of the following year, replacing Lucas Alcaraz.

In July 2012, Vigo returned to Xerez on a two-year deal with the option of two more. He and his three assistants were dismissed the following February, with the team last-placed and seven points from safety (and eventually relegated in that position).

On 17 February 2021, Vigo returned for a fourth spell as manager of Xerez. He led the club to the promotion play-offs from Tercera División but lost to Ceuta, leaving in the aftermath.

Outside football Vigo released his autobiography, titled Ganador (winner), on 13 September 2010.
