Managerial career
Born in A Coruña, Galicia, de la Barrera started his managerial career with Ural CF's youth categories in 2004, having previously represented the club, Victoria CF and Orillamar SD as a player.[1] After being in charge of Atlético Arteixo and Montañeros CF's Juvenil squads,[2] he was named manager of Tercera División side GCE Villaralbo on 27 May 2010.[1]
De la Barrera took Villaralbo to two consecutive play-offs during his spell at the club,[3] but still left in June 2012. After one full season without a club, he was appointed CD Guijuelo manager on 18 July 2013.[4]
In his debut campaign in Segunda División B, de la Barrera again reached the play-offs, being knocked out by CD Leganés. On 30 June 2014, he was appointed at the helm of fellow third-tier club Real Valladolid B.[5]
On 1 July 2015, de la Barrera returned to Guijuelo,[6] but only finished the season in the sixth position. On 27 May of the following year he was appointed manager of Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa,[7] achieving promotion to Segunda División as champions in his first campaign.[8]
De la Barrera's first professional match occurred on 18 August 2017, a 2–0 away loss against Lorca FC.[9] On 8 June of the following year, after suffering relegation in the last round, he was named Asier Garitano's assistant at Real Sociedad.[10]
In December 2018, de la Barrera began his first job abroad, taking over on an 18-month contract at Al Ahli SC (Doha) who were 5th in the Qatar Stars League.[11] Shortly before completing a year in the position, he left the 7th-placed club by mutual agreement.[12]
On 7 August 2020, de la Barrera took over Romanian Liga I side FC Viitorul Constanța,[13] but left on 30 November by agreement with his employer.[14] The following 12 January, he replaced Fernando Vázquez at the helm of Deportivo de La Coruña, in his country's third division.[15]
On 2 June 2021, de la Barrera was named manager of Albacete Balompié, freshly relegated to Primera División RFEF.[16] He led the side back to the second level at first attempt, before leaving on a mutual agreement on 15 June 2022.[17]
On 20 September 2023, de La Barrera was named as the head coach of the El Salvador national team.[18] Three months later, he resigned, stating in a press conference that a first division club from an "important league" had contacted him and convinced him to join them.[19]
On 19 December 2023, de la Barrera was appointed as manager of Portuguese Primeira Liga club Vizela, signing a contract until June 2025.[20]
