Sergio Lobera Rodríguez (born 16 January 1977) is a Spanish professional football manager who is currently the head coach of Indian Super League club Odisha.

Managerial career

Lobera was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. After impressing with Dosa Salesians and UFB Jàbac Terrassa he signed with FC Barcelona in 1997,[2] going through its youth system and being the manager of the C team in 2006–07, in the Tercera División. He was appointed sporting director at Terrassa FC in June 2007,[3] also being their coach for the last seven games of the season.[4]

In May 2010, Lobera was appointed CD San Roque de Lepe manager, agreeing to a three-year deal.[5] The following campaign, he was in charge of AD Ceuta also in the Segunda División B.[6]

On 11 May 2012, Lobera was named FC Barcelona's assistant manager behind Tito Vilanova.[7] However, roughly a month later, he signed as head coach of Segunda División side UD Las Palmas.[8][9]

Lobera finished his first season in charge of a professional club in sixth position, being defeated in the play-offs by eventually promoted UD Almería.[10] He renewed with the Canarians on 18 June 2013,[11] but was relieved of his duties on 26 May of the following year.[12]

On 24 December 2014, Lobera was appointed at Botola's Moghreb Tétouan until the end of the season.[13] On 6 June 2017 he moved countries again, joining FC Goa from the Indian Super League on a two-year contract.[14]

On 17 November 2018, Lobera renewed his link at the Fatorda Stadium until 2020.[15] Five months later, he led his team to the conquest of the Indian Super Cup.[16] On 31 January 2020, however, he was dismissed despite being top of the table after several run-ins with the board of directors.[17][18]

Lobera continued in the Indian top flight in March 2020, signing with Mumbai City FC.[19] He was officially presented on 12 October,[20] being crowned champion in his debut campaign.[21]

On 19 January 2022, Lobera was appointed at China League One club Sichuan Jiuniu FC.[22] Unsuccessful in securing promotion to the Super League, he left after a single season and a seventh-place finish.[23]

On 17 May 2023, Lobera became the head coach of Odisha FC on a two-year deal in his return to India.[24]
