Vicente Mir Arnau (born 3 June 1968) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward, and a current coach.

Playing career

Born in Meliana, Valencian Community, Mir was a youth product of local giants Valencia CF. After several seasons as a senior with the reserves he started his professional career with Palamós CF in the second division, on loan.[1]

Upon his return to the Che for the 1991–92 campaign, Mir was again almost exclusively associated with the B-side. Main squad manager Guus Hiddink handed him his La Liga debut on 8 September 1991, and he played 31 minutes in a 0–1 away loss against Albacete Balompié after coming on as a substitute for Rommel Fernández.[2]

Mir spent the remainder of his career in the Spanish lower leagues, competing almost exclusively in his native region and representing mainly Elche CF (three seasons). He retired at the end of 2001–02 with Villajoyosa CF, in the fourth level.

Managerial career

In 2002, Mir was appointed director of youth football at Benidorm CF, remaining in the position several years. Afterwards he took the reins of Alicante CF's reserves, promoting from the regional championships in his first year and nearly achieving the feat the following campaign, with a team full of youngsters.[3]

For 2010–11, Mir was appointed at Valencia B, leading the club to the third division at the first attempt. He was relieved of his duties in December 2011, having recorded four wins, four draws and nine defeats during the season.[4]
