Manuel "Lolo" Coronado Plá (born 7 April 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Iraq Stars League club Al-Minaa.

Having spent his early career at Valladolid in La Liga, Lugo in Segunda División and Benfica B in the Portuguese Segunda Liga, he played most of it in the lower leagues of his country. He made 165 appearances and scored 36 goals in the Spanish third tier, in service of eight clubs.

Club career

Valladolid

Born in Mérida, Extremadura, Plá began his career with Real Valladolid's youth sides, and made his senior debut in 2010–11 for the B team in the Tercera División. On 20 August 2012, he appeared in his first official game with the main squad, playing the last four minutes in a 1–0 La Liga away win over Real Zaragoza, the first matchday of the season.[1]

Benfica

Plá signed for S.L. Benfica in Portugal on 2 August 2013 in spite of being threatened by his former club,[2] which later led to compensation as his link was not severed by mutual consent.[3] He was assigned to the reserves and played his first match for them on the 26th, coming from the bench in the 81st minute of the Segunda Liga home fixture against Portimonense S.C. and scoring the final goal in a 3–0 victory.[4]

On 30 August 2014, Plá was loaned to Segunda División's CD Lugo on a season-long deal.[5] The following summer, he joined Segunda División B side Cádiz CF also on loan.[6]

Elche

In the 2016 off-season, Plá was acquired by Mexican club Club Necaxa, but was immediately loaned back to CD Toledo of the Spanish third tier.[7] He helped them to finish second in their group, and then signed for Elche CF of the same league in July 2017.[8]

Plá contributed two goals in Elche's promotion campaign (five in all competitions),[9] but spent the following season on loan at Recreativo de Huelva[10] and Valencia CF Mestalla.[11]

Later career

On 14 July 2019, Plá agreed to a two-year deal with Gimnàstic de Tarragona.[12] He was unregistered from the main squad the following transfer window due to poor performances, and terminated his contract in March 2020.[13]

In September 2020, Plá joined CD Guijuelo.[14] His only season was marred by injury and resulted in a double relegation to the new Tercera Federación following a league restructuring.[15]

Plá signed for his hometown club Mérida AD in the league above in June 2021.[16] Including the Copa Federación, he scored 12 times in 34 total games as his first campaign at the Estadio Romano ended in promotion via the playoffs; his link was then extended for a second year.[17]

Plá continued to compete in the lower leagues subsequently, with CP Cacereño and CF Talavera de la Reina.[18] He moved abroad again on 12 August 2024, on a contract at Iraq Stars League club Al-Minaa SC.[19][20]
