About Pedro Martínez Losa

Born 1976. Pedro Martínez Losa is a Spanish association football coach.

Pedro Martínez Losa (born 9 May 1976) is a Spanish football coach and sporting director, who is currently the manager of Liga MX Femenil club Tigres. Known primarily for his prominence within women's football, Martínez Losa has won major trophies in his native Spain with Rayo Vallecano Femenino, and in England with Arsenal Women.

Career Martínez Losa has built up nearly 20 years' coaching experience, proving particularly adept at raising the level of professionalism at the clubs he has worked at. He began his coaching career at Pozuelo Alarcón, with their U-13, U-14 and U-15 boys' teams, and also had a stint coaching U-9, U-10 & U-12 boys' sides at Atlético Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano Femenino Martínez Losa then started to coach women's football teams, first with the head coach's position at Pozuelo Alarcón, before moving on to take the top job at Rayo Vallecano Femenino.

Arsenal In 2014, Martínez Losa was named as the new manager of Arsenal Women, succeeding Shelley Kerr. With Arsenal, he led the team to the FA WSL Cup and the 2016 FA Women's Cup. He also helped lay the foundations for the team's current success by signing the likes of Dominique Janssen, Sari van Veenendaal, Katie McCabe, Daniëlle van de Donk, Kim Little, Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema. Losa's time in charge also included bringing through youngsters of the quality of Leah Williamson, Charlie Devlin and Lauren James. Martínez Losa left Arsenal in October 2017, following a mixed start to the season.

Millwall Lionesses In July 2018, he was appointed Director of Football for Millwall Lionesses, but left in June 2019, when the club broke away from the men's side and became the London City Lionesses.

Bordeaux On 7 June 2019, Martínez Losa was named as the new manager of Division 1 Féminine club Bordeaux, succeeding Jérôme Dauba. In his first season at the club, Bordeaux achieved their all-time best top-division finish of third place, with Martínez Losa being named coach of the season by French women's football website L'Équipière. In the 2020–21 season, Bordeaux repeated that achievement, which brought the club's first ever participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Scotland Martínez Losa was appointed head coach of the Scotland women's national team in July 2021. Scotland failed to qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, losing a play-off final against the Republic of Ireland. Martínez Losa signed a new four-year contract with Scotland in September 2023, a decision for which the Scottish Football Association was criticised later that year after Scotland lost 6–0 to England and were relegated from their Nations League group. Although Scotland finished top of their qualifying group for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 tournament, they failed to reach the finals, losing over two legs in the play-offs against Finland. Following this, Martínez Losa stepped down as head coach.

Tigres On 20 December 2024, Martínez Losa was appointed as the new manager of Liga MX Femenil club Tigres. On 23 November 2025 won the tournament Apertura 2025 of the Liga MX Femenil.
