Daniel "Dani" Vidal González (born 14 June 1992) is a Spanish football manager, currently in charge of Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
Career
[edit]Born in Tarragona, Catalonia, Vidal played for hometown side Gimnàstic de Tarragona as a youth before retiring at the age of 20, and immediately starting to coach the club's Infantil B squad.[1] He then progressed through the club's youth categories, before being named an assistant of Juan Manuel Pavón at the farm team CF Pobla de Mafumet on 25 October 2017.[2]
Vidal returned to the structure of Nàstic for the 2018–19 season, being named manager of the Juvenil B squad. On 15 December 2020, after being in charge of the Juvenil A team, he was appointed at the helm of Pobla.[3]
On 16 June 2021, Vidal was named Raül Agné's assistant in the first team of Gimnàstic.[4] On 27 February 2023, he was appointed manager of the club after the dismissal of Iñaki Alonso,[5] and became the first manager of the club's history to manage them in all categories (youth, reserve and senior).[6]
Vidal made his debut as manager of Nàstic on 5 March 2023, in a 1–0 home win over Real Sociedad B which ended the club's four-match winless run.[7] On 9 June, after six wins and four draws in 13 matches, he renewed his contract with the club for a further two years.[8]
