Career
Martínez Losa has built up nearly 20 years' coaching experience, proving particularly adept at raising the level of professionalism at the clubs he has worked at. He began his coaching career at Pozuelo Alarcón, with their U-13, U-14 and U-15 boys' teams, and also had a stint coaching U-9, U-10 & U-12 boys' sides at Atlético Madrid.
Rayo Vallecano Femenino
Martínez Losa then started to coach women's football teams, first with the head coach's position at
Western New York Flash
In 2012, he moved to the United States to the Western New York Flash as assistant coach to Aaran Lines while he was also handed the role of Advanced Training Instructor at the Flash Youth Academy.[1] In his first season with the Flash, they were joint winners of the National Women's Soccer League (alongside Portland Thorns and Kansas City), but in the subsequent play-offs they lost the championship final to Portland.[1] While still a part of the Flash set up, Losa spent the 2013 season as assistant coach to Niagara Purple Eagles women's soccer coach Peter Veltri.[2]
