Juventud de Torremolinos have announced the departure of head coach Antonio Calderón by mutual consent, bringing an end to a landmark spell in charge.
The Malaga province club confirmed the decision on Monday evening, thanking Calderón for his role in delivering two consecutive promotions and overseeing “the brightest chapter” in their history.
In an official announcement, they said, “We wish to express our gratitude to Antonio for the dedication, professionalism and commitment he has shown.” Under his leadership, the club achieved two consecutive promotions… a historic milestone that will remain forever in the memory of the club.”
Torremolinos, debuting this season in Primera RFEF, Spain’s third tier, sit just outside the relegation places, though only two points clear after back-to-back defeats against Gimnàstic and Cartagena. These losses ended a run of six unbeaten matches.
Calderón initially joined in 2023 with the aim of avoiding relegation from Segunda Federación, which he failed to achieve. They bounced right back, winning promotion in the group as champions, before securing their second consecutive rise on the last day of last season.
Even though the team had off-field issues including financial problems and a delayed takeover of the club that was completed late in 2025, they maintained a competitive performance.
Torremolinos has seven matches left to play in order to maintain their third-tier standing.
