Óscar García Junyent (born April 26, 1973 in Sabadell ) is a former Spanish football player and current coach . As an attacking player, he mostly acted in the attacking midfield or as a second striker. He has been training Celta Vigo since November 2019 .
Player career
García is a product of the FC Barcelona Football Academy. He played his first league game for Barça in the 4-1 win over FC Cádiz on May 9, 1993. In his first two years with FC Barcelona first team between 1992 and 1994, he played five league games, four of which were in the starting line-up.
For the 1994/95 season he was loaned to the Spanish first division club Albacete Balompié , where he also fought for a regular place. In the 1995/96 season he was FC Barcelona's top scorer with 10 league goals, even though he was only used 11 times from the start in 28 league appearances.
The number of his missions decreased in the following years, in which Barcelona won the Spanish championship and the Spanish cup twice, which led García to 1999 to switch to Valencia CF. With Valencia he reached the final of the Champions League in the 1999/00 season . García watched from the bench as his team lost 3-0 to Real Madrid .
Already after this one season García returned to Barcelona , but this time he joined Espanyol Barcelona . Even in his four years at Espanyol, García did not get beyond the status of the joker. At this station he played together with his brother Roger . He made a total of 51 league appearances for Espanyol (19 of them from the start) and scored four goals.
After the 2004/05 season, in which he played for the Spanish second division club UE Lleida , he ended his career at the age of 32.
In 1996 he took part with the Spanish Olympic team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta . He scored twice in four games there. Between 1993 and 1998 he also played two games for the Catalan football team .
Coaching career
Since the 2010/11 season García coached the A-youth of FC Barcelona . In his first season he led the youth team to win the league, the Copa del Rey and the Copa de Campeones . At the end of the second season he left the Catalans and took over the coaching position at the Israeli first division club Maccabi Tel Aviv . For the 2013/14 season he had to vacate this post despite having won the championship title for Paulo Sousa . From June 26, 2013 to May 12, 2014 he was the coach of the English second division club Brighton & Hove Albion . After that he was again a coach at Maccabi Tel Aviv until August 26th. After this short stint, he moved to Watford FC , where he resigned after a month for health reasons.
At the beginning of 2016 García Adi Hütter inherited the coaching position of the Austrian Bundesliga club FC Red Bull Salzburg . He won the championship title with the club at the end of the 2015/16 season , and the team he coached won the double in the 2015/16 cup final with a clear 5-0 win over FC Admira Wacker Mödling . However, even under his leadership, there was no great international success, in August 2016 RBS failed - for the ninth time in a row - in qualifying for the UEFA Champions League . Against Dinamo Zagreb , the team lost in the play-off round after a 1: 1 first-leg draw with 1: 2 in extra time, but it was thus for the UEFA Europa League eligible to play. García attributed the defeat to the transfer policy, among other things, after numerous top performers had left the club for the partner club RB Leipzig , which was also financed by Red Bull , and he saw RB Salzburg demoted to a training club. At the beginning of the 2016/17 championship , the team subsequently missed the dominance of recent years, but this changed as the championship continued. In the spring season, the team conceded only one goal in the domestic Red Bull Arena , along with the only loss of home points in the series in the 1-1 draw against SV Ried , and only remained without a point win in the 1-2 defeat at SV Mattersburg . García's team achieved the championship title with 18 points ahead of second-placed Vienna Austria. With a total of 25 victories, the Viennese record was equalized, the 24 goals conceded represent the lowest value in the history of the Bundesliga.
In June 2017 he became coach of the French club AS Saint-Étienne , with which he received a contract valid until June 2019.
On January 5, 2018, he signed a contract with the Greek first division club Olympiacos Piraeus . On April 4, García resigned from his coaching post.
On November 5, 2019, Celta Vigo made the signing of García as the first coach official.
