Abel Resino González (born February 2, 1960 in Velada, Toledo) is a Spanish football manager and former player. Abel has played for CD Toledo, CD Ciempozuelos and Club Atlético de Madrid, as well as for the Spanish national team as a goalkeeper. In 2005, he started coaching the Segunda División team Ciudad de Murcia, where he stayed a year and almost gained promotion. The club actually promoted was Levante UD, the team he coached replacing Juan Ramón López Caro since January 2007 until he was replaced by Gianni De Biasi.

As a player he held the record for the longest shut-out in the world at 1,275 minutes. He played for Atletico Madrid while achieving this record and was finally beaten by Luis Enrique of Sporting Gijon on 19 March 1991.^[1]

[edit] Coaching philosophy and style

Abel is regarded as an offensive manager, playing with the defensive line high up the field. This is sometimes seen as a risky style of playing.
