José Luis Sánchez Capdevila (born 12 February 1981) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder, currently manager of CD Leganés B.

Playing career

Capdevila was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. After playing three seasons in the Segunda División B (one each with AD Alcorcón, Real Madrid Castilla and Hércules CF) he signed with Pontevedra CF, where his career-best nine goals were not enough to prevent a relegation from Segunda División in 2005.[1]

Capdevila subsequently moved to Real Valladolid, being an instrumental figure in the side's 2007 promotion to La Liga, scoring four goals in 35 games.[2][1] However, he would feature sparingly in the 2007–08 campaign,[3] making his competition debut on 15 September 2007 in a 2–1 away loss against Valencia CF.[4]

In September 2008, Capdevila joined Real Murcia CF, recently relegated to division two.[5] Two seasons later, as his team dropped down another level, the 29-year-old signed with another club in that tier, Xerez CD.[6]

Coaching career

Shortly after retiring, Capdevila returned to Alcorcón and was named manager of the Cadete A squad, while also being an assistant of the Juvenil A side. Ahead of the 2021–22 campaign, he took over the Juvenil B before being named manager of the reserves on 23 September 2021, after Jorge Romero was appointed at the first team.[7]

Capdevila led Alcorcón B to a first-ever promotion to Segunda Federación in 2022,[8] but suffered immediate relegation. On 28 June 2023, he was named manager of another reserve team, CD Leganés B also in the Tercera Federación.[9]
