Ángel Royo Areste (born 12 August 1966) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of AD Almudévar.

Managerial career

Born in Sariñena, Huesca, Aragon, Royo suffered a serious injury while playing for CD Sariñena's youth setup, which subsequently ended his career as a footballer.[1] He started working as a manager with the club's youth setup, and subsequently coached teams in his native region, his longest spell being with UD San Lorenzo.[2]

In May 2010 Royo was appointed Atlético Monzón manager,[3] but left the club two months later, being named assistant at SD Huesca.[4]

On 8 June 2011 Royo was appointed manager of Huesca, replacing Onésimo Sánchez.[5] On 3 October, after winning two of six matches, he was relieved from his duties and joined the club's board.[6]

On 10 December 2012 Royo was named interim manager of the azulgranas, in the place of fired Antonio Calderón.[7] On the 26th, after two losses, he returned to his previous role, being replaced by Jorge D'Alessandro.[8]
