'''Mariano García Remón''' (born 30 September 1950) is a Spanish retired [[association football|football]] player and coach.

A former [[goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]], he is best known for his spell at [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]], which he helped to six [[La Liga]] and three [[Copa del Rey]] trophies. He subsequently worked as a manager, having a brief stint with his main club.

==Playing career==
Born in [[Madrid]], Remón finished his football development with country giants [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]], but served two loans in the [[Tercera División|third]] and [[Segunda División|second divisions]] before returning in 1971. He then began an interesting battle for first-choice status with [[Miguel Ángel González Suárez|Miguel Ángel González]] which would last for the vast majority of his stay: Remón would start from 1971 to 1973 and 1979 to 1981, and the pair split appearances in two other seasons.

In the [[1972–73 European Cup|1972–73 European Cup quarter-finals]] against [[FC Dynamo Kyiv]], in the 0–0 first leg draw in [[Odessa]], Remón's heroic efforts earned him the nickname ''El gato de Odesa''<!-- only one "s" in Spanish for "Odesa" --> ("the cat of Odessa"). After only eight [[La Liga]] appearances in his final five seasons combined, being third-choice for the side that won back-to-back [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cups]], he retired at almost 36 with 231 overall appearances for the club to his credit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/es/1193040472616/1202817476011/jugador/JugadorLegendario/Garcia_Remon.htm|title=García Remón, Mariano|publisher=Real Madrid CF|language=es|access-date=19 October 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090701064036/http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/es/1193040472616/1202817476011/jugador/JugadorLegendario/Garcia_Remon.htm|archive-date=1 July 2009}}</ref>

Remón earned two [[Cap (sport)|caps]] for [[Spain national football team|Spain]] during five months in 1973, both in [[Exhibition game|friendlies]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1973/10/18/pagina-3/987943/pdf.html|title=0–0: España se defendió sin ahogos ante Turquia|trans-title=0–0: Spain had no problem fending off Turkey|newspaper=[[Mundo Deportivo]]|language=es|date=18 October 1973|access-date=21 June 2016}}</ref> His debut came on 2 May, playing the second half of a 2–3 loss in [[Netherlands national football team|the Netherlands]].

==Coaching career==
Remón's coaching career started with the youth sides of Real Madrid. From there he progressed to [[Real Madrid Castilla|their reserves]], preceding his assistant coach [[Rafael Benítez]].

Subsequently, Remón managed [[Sporting de Gijón]] (top division),<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1993/06/22/pagina-43/1280728/pdf.html|title=García Remón firma hoy como nuevo técnico del Sporting|trans-title=García Remón signs as new Sporting manager today|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|last=Allongo|first=Jenaro|language=es|date=22 June 1993|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref> [[Albacete Balompié]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1996/10/05/pagina-28/1329069/pdf.html|title=García Remón starts by getting to know youngsters|trans-title=García Remón empieza por conocer a los jóvenes|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|last=Líbero|first=Pedro|language=es|date=5 October 1996|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref> [[UD Las Palmas]], [[UD Salamanca]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2000/03/27/deportes/954108048_850215.html|title=García Remón, destituido como entrenador del Salamanca|trans-title=García Remón, fired as manager of Salamanca|newspaper=[[El País]]|last1=Sanchón|first1=Justino|last2=Díaz|first2=Mario|language=es|date=27 March 2000|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref> [[CD Numancia]] (top flight) and [[Córdoba CF]]. Both of his appointments in that competition ended prematurely, when the teams were in a relegation position.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1995/03/10/pagina-19/1297750/pdf.html|title=El Consejo cesa a García Remón|trans-title=Board of directors fires García Remón|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|last=Calleja|first=José Luis|language=es|date=10 March 1995|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/deportes/2001/05/09/actualidad/989392913_850215.html|title=Destituido al frente del Numancia Mariano García Remón tras ocho jornadas sin ganar|trans-title=Mariano García Remón fired at Numancia after eight winless matchdays|newspaper=El País|language=es|date=9 May 2001|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref>

In the [[2004–05 La Liga|2004–05 campaign]], Remón became assistant coach to newly appointed Real Madrid coach [[José Antonio Camacho]], his teammate for 13 years. On 20 September 2004, the former succeeded the latter, who resigned his post just a few weeks into his appointment when the team was in eighth place – Remón himself was sacked due to perceived lack of success by Christmas, and replaced with former [[Brazil national football team|Brazilian national side]] boss [[Vanderlei Luxemburgo]];<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4134721.stm|title=Luxemburgo named Madrid coach|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|date=30 December 2004|access-date=20 August 2009}}</ref> his Real overall record would consist of 12 wins, four draws and four losses.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/football-12-managers-in-16-years-real-madrids-managerial-revolving-door|title=Football: 12 managers in 16 years – Real Madrid's managerial revolving door|newspaper=[[The Straits Times]]|last=Ong|first=Charles|date=26 May 2015|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref>

Ahead of [[2006–07 Segunda División|2006–07's second level]], Remón succeeded former [[Real Oviedo]] and [[Real Betis]] player [[Oli (footballer)|Oli]] at the helm of [[Cádiz CF]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.europapress.es/deportes/futbol-00162/noticia-futbol-baldasano-llega-cadiz-garcia-remon-entrenador-bosque-asesor-deportivo-20070620163754.html|title=Fútbol.– Baldasano llega al Cádiz con García Remón como entrenador y Del Bosque como asesor deportivo|trans-title=Football.– Baldasano arrives to Cádiz with García Remón as manager and Del Bosque as sporting assistant|publisher=[[Europa Press (news agency)|Europa Press]]|language=es|date=11 October 2007|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref> leaving shortly after his arrival<ref>{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2007/10/11/mas_futbol/1192053608_850215.html|title=García Remón es destituido como entrenador del Cádiz|trans-title=García Remón is fired as Cádiz manager|newspaper=[[Diario AS]]|language=es|date=11 October 2007|access-date=21 November 2018}}</ref> as the club eventually failed to return to the first division.
