Jordi Condom Aulí (born 29 June 1969) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder, and the current coach of Belgian club K.A.S. Eupen.

Playing career

Born in Palamós, Province of Girona, Catalonia, Condom was a youth product at FC Barcelona's La Masia. His 15-year senior career was exclusively associated to Palamós CF (two spells)[1] and UE Figueres, and he played 178 games in Segunda División for the first club during six seasons, scoring as many goals.

In 1989, Condom helped Palamós promote from Segunda División B for the first time in their history. He made his second level debut on 29 October of that year, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against UD Salamanca,[2] and netted his first goal the following 12 February to contribute to a 2–2 draw at Atlético Madrid B.[3]

Condom retired in June 2003 at the age of 34, following his second stint at the Estadi Palamós Costa Brava.[4]

Managerial career

Condom began working as a youth coach for Barcelona in 2002, being appointed at Palamós' first team in December 2007[5] and being fired in November 2009 after four home defeats.[6] He was reinstated shortly after.

In the summer of 2012, Condom moved abroad and joined his compatriot Tintín Márquez's staff at Belgian Second Division side K.A.S. Eupen. On 31 March 2015, after the latter's dismissal, he was named manager.[7][8]

At the end of the 2015–16 campaign, with Condom still at the helm, Eupen reached the First Division A for the first time in the club's 71-year history after finishing second to R.W.S. Bruxelles, who was relegated due to financial irregularities.[9]
