Managerial career
UNAM
In November 2005, España began his career as a manager when he was appointed as interim coach of the Club Universidad Nacional of the Mexican Primera División.[3] Although he lost two of the three matches coached during the Torneo Apertura 2005, he managed to reach the final of the 2005 Copa Sudamericana, in which UNAM was defeated by Boca Juniors, for which he was confirmed in office for the Clausura 2006 tournament.[4]
In April 2006, Miguel España was fired from his position after 12 games played, in which UNAM only managed to win three, thus ending his first stage as manager.[5]
Borregos Salvajes ITESM CCM
After his time at UNAM, Miguel España was appointed as coach of the Borregos Salvajes football team at the university Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Ciudad de México.
Chilangos F.C.
In August 2022, he returned to being a manager in a professional team when he was named in charge of Chilangos F.C., a team that at that time was part of the Liga TDP, the fourth-tier of Mexican football.[6] In the summer of 2023 the team managed to promote to the third level after purchasing an expansion franchise. However, España was not able to find a way for the club at a higher competitive level, so he was fired on September 19, 2023 after failing to win in six games played.[7]
