Roberto Simón Marina (born 28 August 1961) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Club career
Born in Villanueva de la Serena, Province of Badajoz, Marina started his professional career with Atlético Madrid, being definitely promoted to the first team for the 1982–83 season and scoring five goals in 24 games as the club finished in third position in La Liga. With the Colchoneros he won the Copa del Rey in 1985, and was subsequently a starter in the 1986 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, lost 0–3 to FC Dynamo Kyiv.
After amassing nearly 300 official appearances with the capital side, Marina finished his 16-year career with spells with RCD Mallorca and CD Toledo (the latter in the second division), retiring at the age of nearly 34. He began a manager career soon after, starting with his last team then moving to CD Ourense, always as an assistant; subsequently he returned to Atlético, being charged with the youth sides and the C-team, in the fourth level.
Marina returned to assistant manager duties under his mentor as a player at Atlético Luis Aragonés, which brought him to the Colchoneros' coaching staff in 2001. After two seasons he aided another coach, José Murcia, at Atlético B.
International career
After regular performances for Atlético, Marina earned his first (and only) cap for Spain: on 26 May 1985 he played ten minutes in a friendly with the Republic of Ireland, in Cork.
