Albert "Beto" Company Vengut (born 14 January 1979) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defender, and the manager of FC Andorra.

Playing career

Known as just Beto as a player, he was born in Valencia but played the most of his career in Catalonia. An EF Valls youth graduate, he made his senior debut with Joventut Bisbalenca CF, and subsequently represented CEF Sant Pere i Sant Pau and CF Oleastrum before joining UE Valls in 2004.[2]

In 2011, after establishing himself as a starter and team captain at Valls, Beto announced that it would be his last season as a senior.[3] On 26 August of that year, after helping the club's promotion to Primera Catalana, he joined CD Benicarló.[4]

On 28 December 2011, Beto agreed to return to Valls,[5] but retired in the following year at the age of 33.

Managerial career

Shortly after retiring, Company became an assistant of Juanjo Martorell at Benicarló; he had been previously working as a youth coach at EF Valls. On 12 December 2012, he was named manager of the club after Martorell was sacked.[6]

In 2014, Company left Benicarló to join Gimnàstic de Tarragona, as an assistant of Manel Cazorla in the Juvenil squad. On 9 November 2015, he was appointed in charge of CF Amposta in the fifth division.[7]

On 17 July 2017, Company left Amposta and signed for CF Reus Deportiu, being an assistant of Lluís Albesa at the reserves.[8] The following 1 February, he was named manager of the B's, after Albesa was promoted to the main squad.[9]

After renewing his contract on 13 June 2018,[10] Company left the Ganxets on 28 May 2019.[11] On 18 June of that year, he returned to Nàstic after being appointed manager of farm team CF Pobla de Mafumet in Tercera División.[12]

Sacked by Pobla on 15 December 2020,[13] Company spent more than a year without a club before being named at the helm of Tercera Federación side UE Rapitenca on 8 June 2022.[14] He left the latter club by mutual consent on 6 December,[15] before taking over CE Atlètic Lleida on 25 April 2023.[16]

On 12 July 2024, Company joined FC Andorra as Ferran Costa's assistant.[17] On 20 January 2025, he was named manager of the side in Primera Federación, after Costa's dismissal.[18]
