Víctor Muñoz

On 19 March 2014, Muñoz returned to Zaragoza, succeeding Paco Herrera at a club at risk of relegation to the third tier. He was dismissed on 24 November with the club in 8th, one point off the play-offs.

Muñoz returned to active in early September 2011, when he became Neuchâtel Xamax's third manager of the season, replacing compatriot Joaquín Caparrós at the Swiss club. He continued his career in the country, with a brief stint at FC Sion from December 2012 until February of the following year.

In late December 2010, after more than one year out of football, Muñoz was named head coach of Russian Premier League side FC Terek Grozny. He left his post in Chechnya after less than one month due to failed contract negotiations, being replaced by Ruud Gullit.

For the 2008–09 campaign, Muñoz was appointed at Getafe CF on 18 June 2008. Following a string of seven losses in nine games that left the team from the outskirts of Madrid at one point above the relegation zone, he was dismissed in April of the following year, making way for former Real Madrid player Míchel.

On 8 October 2006 Muñoz signed a two-year contract with Greece's Panathinaikos FC, becoming the 18th coach in ten years for The Greens. However, he returned to Spain in June 2007 to take over at Recreativo de Huelva, from where he was sacked the following February.

Muñoz started working as a manager in the mid-1990s, being successively at the helm of RCD Mallorca, CD Logroñés, UE Lleida, Villarreal CF and Zaragoza. With the last of those teams, he won the 2003–04 domestic cup with a 3–2 extra time victory over Real Madrid's Galácticos.

Víctor was born in Zaragoza, Aragon. After starting off with hometown club Real Zaragoza and being relegated in his first professional season, he was purchased by La Liga powerhouse FC Barcelona, being a very important element for the Catalans during his seven-year spell; on 4 June 1983, he scored his team's first in a 2–1 win against Real Madrid in the final of the Copa del Rey.

Muñoz was a regular player for Spain for most of the 1980s, receiving his first opportunity on 25 March 1981 in a 2–1 friendly win with England and going on to earn a further 59 caps, with three goals. He played for the nation at the 1986 FIFA World Cup as well as the UEFA Euro 1984 (in a final runner-up position, to hosts France) and 1988 tournaments, retiring from international duty immediately after that group stage exit.

A Spain international during the 1980s, Víctor represented the country in one World Cup and two European Championships. He later became a manager, leading four La Liga teams and winning the Copa del Rey for Zaragoza in 2004.
