Rodolfo Borrell Marco (born 31 January 1971) is a Spanish football coach, who is currently a sporting director at Austin FC.
Borrell was a youth coach at Barcelona, where he coached some of the world's finest emerging talent at their renowned 'La Masia' Academy. Borrell still possesses one of the most successful records in history of Youth Football coaching at F.C. Barcelona.[ citation needed ] He worked at Barcelona between 1995 and 2008, where he formed part of the team that developed Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Cesc Fàbregas. [1]
In July 2009, Liverpool agreed a deal to bring in Barcelona youth coaches Rodolfo Borrell and Pep Segura to the club. In the mid-late 2000s, first team coach Rafael Benitez made it a priority of his to improve the club's Academy, hence why Rodolfo was brought in.[ citation needed ] After two successful seasons as head coach of the U18s, Rodolfo became Liverpool's Reserve Team Head Coach in May 2011."It's a great honour for me. The club have shown they have great confidence in my ability and I am happy. It is a job that means my name will sit forever alongside the likes of Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Roy Evans, Phil Thompson and Sammy Lee. They are big names in Liverpool's history and it is also an important role because it is the final step in the Academy. The players need to be ready if they are to make the move into the first-team set-up and I am going to fight for that." After a two-year spell as head coach of Liverpool U18s and an eighteen-month stint in charge of the Reserve side, he then became head of academy coaching at Liverpool. Recruited in the summer of 2009 by Rafael Benitez, he and compatriot Jose Segura helped revolutionise Liverpool's ailing Academy.[ citation needed ] Having failed to provide the first team with a key player since Steven Gerrard who made his debut in 1998,[ citation needed ] the academy produced numerous talents since Borrell's appointment.[ citation needed ]
In March 2014, Rodolfo was appointed as Manchester City global technical director. [2] In July 2016, Manchester City appointed him as 1st team assistant coach to Pep Guardiola. Rodolfo was promoted by Guardiola from head of academy coaching, a role he had held since July 2014. [3]
In June 2023, Borrell was appointed to be named the Sporting Director for MLS side Austin FC, [4] [5] replacing former Manchester City captain and United States international Claudio Reyna.
In association footballing terms, a caretaker manager or interim manager is somebody who takes temporary charge of the management of a football team, usually when the regular manager is dismissed or leaves for a different club. However, a caretaker manager may also be appointed if the regular manager is suspended, ill, has suspected COVID-19 or is unable to attend to their usual duties. Examples of caretaker managers are Jordi Roura, Angelo Alessio, Germán Burgos and Rob Page. Caretaker managers are normally appointed at short notice from within the club, usually the assistant manager, a senior coach, or an experienced player.
