CLUB STATEMENT: JUANJO BEZARES

As part of the process of strengthening and growing the club’s sporting department, Bezares will now take on the role of Technical Secretary, working directly alongside the Sporting Director on the planning, development, and monitoring of the club’s football structure.

Bezares first joined Lincoln Red Imps in May 2022 as part of the club’s technical staff, bringing with him extensive experience from both his playing and coaching careers. Over the following seasons, he became an important figure within the club’s football operations before being appointed Head Coach, where he continued the club’s success both domestically and in European competition.

During his time leading the first team, Lincoln Red Imps continued to maintain its position at the top of Gibraltarian football, securing further domestic success while also representing Gibraltar on the European stage with distinction. Under his leadership, the club delivered memorable European performances and continued building on Lincoln’s growing reputation in UEFA competitions.

Beyond results on the pitch, Bezares played a major role in maintaining the winning mentality, professionalism, and strong culture that continue to define the club.

His experience, knowledge of the club, and proven track record will now be key in this new phase, adding value to both sporting planning and the continued development of the club’s medium- and long-term project.

Everyone at Lincoln Red Imps FC would like to thank Juan José Bezares for his outstanding work, commitment, and professionalism throughout his time as Head Coach, and we are confident he will continue to play an important role in the club's continued growth and success in his new position as Technical Secretary.

The club will announce the appointment of its new Head Coach soon as the squad returns to training next month ahead of July’s UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
