Source-derived summary

Josep Oriol Alsina García (born 21 August 1967) is a Spanish football manager and former player. He is the current manager of Terrassa.

Playing career

Born in Arenys de Mar, Barcelona, Catalonia, Alsina only played regional football during his entire career, representing CF Arenys de Mar, UE Rubí, UE Vilassar de Mar, CF Vidreres, CF Sils, Arbúcies CF and UE Llagostera. He retired with the latter in 1996 at the age of 29, due to a knee injury.

Managerial career

Alsina was appointed manager of his last club Llagostera in 1997, with the club in the ninth division. After two years at UD Cassà's reserves, he returned to the Blanquivermells in 2004.

Alsina was the manager during the club's impressive run, which consisted of six promotions in eight seasons. On 5 February 2013, he was replaced by Lluís Carrillo, after lacking the license to coach in Segunda División B, and was immediately named assistant and director of football.

On 6 June 2014, Alsina moved to neighbouring Girona FC along with Óscar Álvarez and Carrillo, after agreeing to a three-year deal. On 1 July, however, he left the club and subsequently returned to Llagostera.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Oriol Alsina” as spanish association football player. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Oriol, Alsina and Spanish.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1967, 1996, 1997, 2004—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1968-08-21, 1967-02-19—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Oriol, Alsina and Spanish providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Oriol Alsina”, the useful work is to connect “spanish association football player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 21, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18817122. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1967, 1996, 1997 and 2004.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
