Pedro Díaz Muñoz (born 18 June 1977) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a winger, and currently is a manager.

Playing career[edit]

Born in Talavera de la Reina, Castilla–La Mancha, Díaz was a youth graduate of Atlético Madrid, before making his senior debut with hometown side Talavera CF in 1996. After failing to make a breakthrough in the starting XI, he was loaned to Tercera División side AD Torpedo 66 in the 1999–2000 season.[1]

Upon returning, Díaz started to feature regularly with Talavera before leaving for fellow third division side Novelda CF in January 2003. He returned to Talavera in July, before signing for CD Linares of the same category in 2006.

Díaz scored a career-best 15 goals overall in the 2006–07 season, as Linares missed out promotion in the play-offs. On 22 July 2009, he moved to AD Ceuta also in division three.[2] He moved to CD Puertollano in the same category in the following year, before returning to his hometown on 20 July 2012, after signing for CF Talavera de la Reina.[3]

In 2017, after another promotion with Talavera, Díaz retired at the age of 40.[4]

Managerial career[edit]

Immediately after retiring, Díaz became manager of the youth sides of his last club Talavera.[4] On 6 June 2021, he was named manager of their B-team in the Primera Autonómica Preferente.[5]

On 25 October 2022, after leading Talavera B to a first-ever promotion to Tercera Federación the previous campaign, Díaz was named in charge of the first team in Primera Federación, following the sacking of Rubén Gala.[6] Despite suffering relegation, he renewed his contract in May 2023,[7] but was dismissed on 8 April 2024.[8]
