Adrián Hernández Abenza (born 30 August 1981) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of Yeclano Deportivo.

Career

Born in Murcia, Hernández was never a footballer during his youths; he graduated in business administration and journalism, and also had a degree in business science with MBAs in marketing and pedagogy.[1] He began his managerial career with EDMF Churra in 2014, with the club in the Primera Autonómica de Murcia;[2] in his first years, he also shared his manager role with his work as a teacher.[1]

Hernández achieved two consecutive promotions with Churra in his first two seasons, taking the club to Tercera División for the first time ever. On 3 June 2019, after missing out promotion in the last two consecutive play-offs, he was appointed manager of Real Murcia CF in Segunda División B.[3]

Hernández won the 2019 Copa Federación de España with the Pimentoneros, and renewed his contract for a further campaign on 5 May 2020.[4] The following 15 February, however, he was sacked after a poor run of results.[5]

On 8 June 2021, Hernández replaced Alejandro Sandroni at the helm of Tercera División RFEF side Yeclano Deportivo.[6] On 18 May of the following year, after achieving promotion as champions of their group, he agreed to a one-year contract extension.[7]

On 17 June 2023, after narrowly missing out a play-off spot in the season, Hernández renewed his link for a further year.[8]
