Roberto González
Founder & Head Coach
Roberto has played football in youth leagues for years in Spain, but the pro game did not work out for him. However, it opened a door to coaching at a very young age. After years coaching in Spain, he moved to California, USA, to coach children and young people.
This experience changed his mindset completely, and decided to move to London, UK, and quickly continue his coaching career.
He has trained different clubs and schools in London, and after months of coaching for different clubs, he realized the urgent need to create a quality football school, open for everyone.
At the end of 2018, The Spanish Way FC is born. Thereafter, he has coached for more football clubs, being further significant clubs Fulham FC or Real Madrid CF.
