Tomás Alberto Hervás Girón (born 25 November 1970), simply known as Tomás, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current manager of Sporting de Gijón B.
Club career
Born in Ponferrada, Castile and León, Tomás graduated from Sporting de Gijón's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves, playing several seasons in Segunda División B. On 1 September 1991 he played his first competitive match with the main squad – and in La Liga – starting in a 1–0 away win against Real Valladolid.[1]
In 1998 Tomás moved to Celta de Vigo, also in the top division. With the Galician club he appeared regularly, and won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2000.
After a short stint at Sevilla FC (being deemed suplus to requirements at the very end), Tomás signed for Segunda División's UD Las Palmas in January 2003.[2] He suffered relegation with the Canarians in his second year, and subsequently left at the end of the 2004–05 campaign.
In the 2005 summer Tomás joined AD Universidad de Oviedo, being promoted to the third level at the first attempt. After the team's relegation in in the following season he announced his retirement, but returned to active in January 2008[3] only to leave the game definitively in June.
Manager career
In July 2009 Tomás was appointed Abelardo's assistant manager at Sporting de Gijón B.[4] After being the main squad's assistant for one year, he coached the reserves in the last match of 2013–14, against Burgos CF.[5]
On 16 June 2014 Tomás was definitely appointed at the helm of the B-side, signing a one-year deal.[6]
