Dr. Alejandro Romero-Caballero

Dr. Alejandro Romero-Caballero blends an academic profile in sport science with hands-on coaching leadership in Spanish football, with a clear specialism in training methodology and coach education.

Academically, he holds a PhD in Sports Science from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, following an MSc in High Performance in Sports at Universidad Pablo de Olavide. This pathway underpins a research-informed approach to football training design, athlete development, and the structure of learning environments.

Professionally, he operates across both university teaching and applied coaching. Since April 2024, he has been a university lecturer at Universidad Nebrija, teaching modules that connect directly to practice (including football fundamentals and teaching methods, general physiology, and sport facility organisation), alongside responsibilities as academic coordinator for placements and final projects. He has also held a teaching role at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Sep 2024–Feb 2025), reinforcing his credibility in higher education delivery.

On the pitch, he is currently U23 Head Coach at AD Colmenar Viejo (since June 2025), while continuing as First Team Head Coach and Academy Coordinator at CD Chamartín Vergara 1995 (since July 2022). He also led the first team at CD Unión Valdebernardo (June 2024–June 2025). Across these roles, the consistent theme is linking first-team objectives with academy development, aligning weekly methodology, progression planning, and coaching behaviours across age groups.

With Spanish, English, and French, Dr. Romero-Caballero is well positioned to contribute in multicultural environments—bringing a balanced profile that connects research, coach education, and day-to-day training methodology in applied football settings.
