Carlos Perez will remain as coach of 1st Regional club CD Montesinos having led the Vega Baja outfit to promotion last year.

The former Torrevieja player Perez guided the Los Montesinos, Alicante, side to finish in fifth place during the 2017-18 campaign.

Perez and assistant Ivan Angel have both committed themselves to CD Montesinos for the 2018-19 season, an announcement made in the wake of the end of season awards.

Perez replaced sacked Camacho during a time of turmoil at the club, going on to lead CD Montesinos to promotion, creating history, it being the first time in reaching the 1st Regional.

“The 2017-18 season was one of settling into the throes of 1st Regional football, which saw the club compete at a higher level,” Perez told me.

“Finishing above mid-table was a bonus”, said Perez.

“I looked forward to the challenge. Hopefully we can go forward in the 2018-19 season”, said Perez.

CD Montesinos’s AGM will take place on June 5.
