Juan Carlos Carcedo

Coaching career On retiring, Carcedo became assistant manager to Unai Emery at UD Almería. Despite being offered the main position at the club, he left and followed Emery to Valencia CF in 2008. In 2012, they worked together at Russia's FC Spartak Moscow.

The pair returned to Spain the following year, being appointed at Sevilla FC. On 10 May 2015, Carcedo was put in charge of the team for their match away to RC Celta de Vigo following the death of Emery's father Juan, and he managed a 1–1 draw.

In June 2016, Carcedo was one of several staff members who accompanied Emery to French title-holders Paris Saint-Germain FC. Two years later, after winning seven trophies, both left for Arsenal in the English Premier League.

Carcedo had his first coaching experience in his own right in August 2020, when he was appointed at UD Ibiza of the third division for two years. On 24 June 2021, after leading the side to their first-ever promotion to the second tier, he renewed his contract until 2023.

On 18 December 2021, after six matches without winning, Carcedo was dismissed. The following 31 May, he was appointed at the helm of Real Zaragoza also in division two, but was sacked on 6 November.

On 24 June 2023, Carcedo was announced as the new head coach of Pafos FC. On 18 May 2024, the club conquered the Cypriot Cup for the first time in its history after defeating AC Omonia 3–0 at the GSP Stadium. In January 2026, himself and his assistants Sergio Domínguez and Sebastián Corona bought out their contracts.

Carcedo was appointed at Spartak Moscow immediately after leaving Pafos, on a deal until 30 June 2028; he returned to the Russian capital after assisting Emery 13 years earlier. In his first season, he won the domestic cup.
