Playing career

[edit]

Gilsanz was born in Betanzos, A Coruña, Galicia, and was a youth product of hometown side Betanzos CF. After making his first team debut in 1991, he became a regular starter and scored a career-best ten goals in the 1995–96 season.[1]

Gilsanz moved to CD Bullense in the middle of 1996, before returning to Betanzos the following January. He retired in 2005, aged 32, after a one-year spell at SD Sporting Sada.[1]

Managerial career

[edit]

Gilsanz already managed Betanzos' youth sides at the age of 14,[1] and was subsequently in charge of several categories at the club.[2] In July 2007, he left to take over the senior side of Laracha CF,[3] but was dismissed in November.[4]

Gilsanz returned to Betanzos in 2008, now as manager of the main squad. He led the club to a promotion to Tercera División in 2011, before resigning in October of that year due to "presidential interference".[5]

In 2014, Gilsanz took over fellow fourth division side Racing Club Villalbés.[1] He renewed his contract with the club on 21 May of the following year,[6] and led the side to the play-offs in 2018. After missing out promotion, he left on 24 June of that year.[7]

On 4 July 2018, Gilsanz returned to Laracha, with the club now being Deportivo de La Coruña's farm team.[8] He left in 2019 after their relegation, but returned to Dépor in 2020, as manager of the Juvenil side.

Gilsanz led the side to the 2020–21 División de Honor Juvenil de Fútbol title,[9] and replaced Juan Carlos Valerón at the helm of Deportivo Fabril on 2 July 2021, also renewing his contract for two further seasons.[10] On 9 June 2023, after achieving promotion to Segunda Federación, he agreed to a two-year extension.[11]

On 30 October 2024, Gilsanz became an interim manager of Deportivo's main squad in Segunda División, after the dismissal of Imanol Idiakez.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Gilsanz comes from a family which owned and founded Empresa Gilsanz, a company which offers transport through private buses.[13] His son Pablo is also a footballer and a midfielder; he too came through at Betanzos.[14]
