Lorenzo Morón Vizcaíno (born 16 February 1970), commonly known as Loren, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and current manager of Vélez CF.

He amassed Segunda División totals of 279 games and 11 goals, representing five clubs. He appeared in 99 La Liga matches during four seasons (five goals), with Mérida, Salamanca and Recreativo.

Playing career

Born in Marbella, Andalusia, Loren kickstarted his 18-year senior career with CA Marbella, helping the club promote from Tercera División to Segunda División in only two seasons. He made his debut in the latter competition on 6 September 1992, in a 1–1 home draw against CD Castellón.

In the 1993 summer, Loren signed with second level side CP Mérida, helping them promote to La Liga for the first time ever in his second year. In the following campaign, he started in all his 22 league appearances in an eventual relegation as second from bottom.

Loren split the following nine years between the top flight and division two, in representation of UD Salamanca, Sevilla FC and Recreativo de Huelva. He scored a career-best three goals – at the professional level – with the second team in 2000–01, adding his second championship in the second tier in the process; two seasons later, his two goals from 32 appearances could not help prevent Recreativo from being relegated from the top tier, and he also started in the final of the Copa del Rey, a 0–3 loss to RCD Mallorca in Elche.[1]

Loren retired in 2007 at the age of 37, after two years in Segunda División B with his first club, now renamed UD Marbella.

Managerial career

Loren started working as a head coach in late 2014, with amateurs Atlético Mancha Real.[2] On 23 March 2015, he replaced Pablo Alfaro at the helm of Marbella as the team was placed inside the relegation zone,[3] eventually leading them to a comfortable tenth-place finish in the third division.

After leaving Marbella by mutual consent in April 2016,[4] he took over at nearby Tercera División club Vélez CF in October.[5]
