Pedro Morilla Pineda (born 31 October 1972) is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who played predominantly as a midfielder.
Playing career
[edit]Born in Seville, Andalusia, Morilla represented both Real Betis and Sevilla FC as a youth. After making his senior debut with CD Mairena, he moved to Segunda División B side Écija Balompié in 1994, appearing sparingly as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División.[1]
Morilla made his debut in the second level on 3 December 1995, playing the last 14 minutes in a 1–2 home loss against CD Leganés. He left the club the following July, and signed for Talavera CF in the third level.
Morilla continued to appear in the lower leagues in the following years, representing Real Murcia, Burgos CF, Dos Hermanas CF, Talavera and CD Ciempozuelos. He retired with the latter in 2005, aged 32.[1]
Managerial career
[edit]Immediately after retiring Morilla became a coach, being appointed in charge of his last club Ciempozuelos' youth setup. In January 2007, he was appointed in charge of the first team in the fourth division.[1]
On 8 November 2007 Morilla returned to Talavera, now named manager.[2] After suffering relegation he left the club, and in November 2008 he took charge of CD Móstoles.
On 1 October 2010 Morilla was appointed manager of CD Marchamalo,[3] leaving in June of the following year. He subsequently joined Betis' backroom staff, also being in charge of the Juvenil[4] and the reserve squads.[5]
In August 2016, Morilla joined Granada CF's staff.[6] On 9 July of the following year, he replaced Lluís Planagumà at the helm of the B-side.[7]
Morilla was named manager of the first team in the second tier on 19 March 2018, replacing fired José Luis Oltra.[8] On 30 April, however, he was sacked.[9]
He returned to the helm of the B-side in May 2018. However, Morilla was sacked in March 2019, after one win the last fourteen matches, which left Granada CF B at serious risk of relegation from the Segunda División B.[10]
In July 2021, Morilla was appointed as caretaker manager of Wuhan Three Towns, where he worked as techniques director previously.[11] In December 2021, he was promoted to manager for winning 14 matches in a row.[12] In December 2022, he led the Wuhan Three Towns to their first ever Chinese Super League title.[13] On 17 June 2023, he stepped down from the role after only 3 wins from the first 12 league games of the season.[14]
