*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Luis Miguel Ramis Monfort (born 25 July 1970) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a centre-back, currently manager of Segunda División club RCD Espanyol.

He amassed La Liga totals of 165 matches and eight goals over nine seasons, mainly in representation of Deportivo (three and a half years), Real Madrid and Tenerife (two apiece).

Playing career

Born in Tarragona, Catalonia, Ramis started his career with hometown club Gimnàstic de Tarragona and, already in his 20s, joined Real Madrid's reserves. In 1992–93 he managed seven La Liga appearances with the main squad, being definitely promoted the following season.

In the 1994 Iberoamerican Cup, Ramis appeared in the second leg against Boca Juniors as a substitute, in a 2–1 loss in Buenos Aires (4–3 aggregate win).[1] Shortly after, he moved to CD Tenerife as part of the deal involving Fernando Redondo[2] and, after two solid top-flight campaigns, signed with Sevilla FC in the same league, playing a career-best 39 matches albeit in a final relegation.

Ramis moved to firmly established Deportivo de La Coruña in 1997–98, initially acting as backup to Noureddine Naybet. After a relatively good first year, his career was severely marred by a double anterior cruciate ligament/fibula injury from which he never fully recovered; in his last professional years after leaving Depor, he totalled only 45 games as all his teams were relegated (Racing de Santander in the top division, Gimnàstic and Racing de Ferrol in the Segunda División).[3]

Coaching career

Ramis retired from the game in 2006, after three years in the Tercera División. His first steps in coaching (as assistant first) were spent in Real Madrid's youth categories.[4][5][6]

On 5 January 2016, after Zinedine Zidane was promoted to the first team following the sacking of Rafael Benítez, Ramis was appointed as head coach of Real Madrid Castilla.[7] After failing to promote his team in the playoffs, he left his post by mutual consent.[8]

Ramis became UD Almería's second manager of the division two season on 14 March 2017.[9] On 12 November, after eight matches without a win, he was relieved of his duties.[10]

On 24 June 2018, Ramis signed as manager of second-tier club Albacete Balompié.[11] He led them to fourth place in his first season, losing 2–1 on aggregate to RCD Mallorca in the playoff semi-finals.[12]

On 3 February 2020, Ramis was dismissed with the team now in the relegation zone with three points from their last nine games, and following elimination from the Copa del Rey by lowly UD Ibiza.[13] On 24 November, he returned to Tenerife also in the second division.[14]

Ramis led Tete to the play-offs in 2022, where they knocked out rivals UD Las Palmas but lost in the final to Girona FC. On 22 April 2023, he announced that he would leave at the end of the season.[15]

On 6 November 2023, Ramis was appointed manager of second-division RCD Espanyol in place of the sacked Luis García.[16]
