Rubí is the most recent recorded appointment in Almeria’s coaching timeline, beginning on 1 June 2024.

Alberto Lasarte held the role during September 2023, while Vicente Moreno’s tenure covered July to September 2023. The sequence records a period of frequent coaching change rather than a confirmed current appointment.

Transfers Synthesis
Taken together, the listed movements show a squad cycle combining recruitment, contract-based arrivals and players returning from temporary spells. The incoming side includes free agents such as Mikel Vesga, Quim Junyent, Álex Sola, Jorge Pulido and B. Cipenga alongside recorded transfers for André Horta, Miguel de la Fuente, Rodrigo Ely and Jon Morcillo, plus Carlos Jiménez’s loan arrival. Departures cover permanent transfers, loans, free-agent exits and returns to former loan clubs. Several names appear more than once across the period, notably Bruno Langa, Silvi, M. Milovanović, J. Gutiérrez, Edgar González and Carlos Jiménez, reflecting movement at different dates or through changing loan arrangements. Because the listed movements are selective rather than exhaustive, they describe the shape of recorded activity without establishing a complete balance of arrivals and departures, a definitive transfer total or the club’s overall recruitment strategy.

More about Almeria
Almeria is a Spanish football club based in the city of Almería, Andalusia, and founded in 1989. Its roots date to Almería Club de Fútbol, established on 26 July 1989, before the organization adopted the Unión Deportiva Almería name in 2001 after a local unification intended to consolidate support around one city representative. The formal structure is Unión Deportiva Almería, S.A.D., placing the club within Spain’s professional football and Royal Spanish Football Federation ecosystem.
The club’s home is the UD Almería Stadium, historically and commonly known as Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos. The venue stands on the eastern edge of Almería in the Vega de Acá district. Built for the 2005 Mediterranean Games, it became the central home of the modern club and operates through a municipal concession. Its setting connects the team to the city’s contemporary sporting infrastructure.
Red and white are the defining colors, reflected in the traditional vertically striped home kit and the badge’s shield, initials, blue Almería band and football emblem. The Rojiblancos, Indálicos and Almeriensistas nicknames express the club’s close connection with local identity and Andalusian culture. Alternative designs have drawn on regional craft, coastal imagery and architectural references.
Almeria’s football ecosystem includes a professional squad, UD Almería B and younger academy teams intended to provide a pathway for developing players. The senior setup combines Spanish talent with an international range of backgrounds. Its ownership model has an overseas dimension, with investment linked to institutional and infrastructure development. Across its history, the club has moved between La Liga and Segunda División, making promotion challenges, top-flight seasons and a strong city-based identity central parts of its profile.
