Daniel Ángel "Dani" Llácer Fernández (born 3 March 1990) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a winger, and a current manager.

Playing career

Llácer was born in Quart de Poblet, Valencian Community, and represented Valencia CF and Levante UD as a youth. After making his senior debut with the reserves in the 2008–09 season in Tercera División, he moved to Torre Levante CF in the Regional Preferente in 2010.[1]

After playing for fifth tier sides CE Alberic, UD Quart de Poblet and CD Buñol,[1] Llácer returned to the fourth division in December 2012, after agreeing to a deal with Atlético Saguntino.[2] In the 2013 summer, he moved abroad for the first time in his career, after signing for Harrow Borough FC of the Isthmian League Premier Division,[3] but only played 12 matches for the club.[4]

In January 2014, Llácer joined Corinthian-Casuals FC of the Isthmian League Division One South,[5] and subsequently represented fellow league team Chipstead FC[6] before returning to Spain on 30 July 2015, with UD Juventud Barrio del Cristo.[7]

Llácer became team captain of Juventud in 2019,[8] and retired with the club in 2020, aged 30.[9]

Managerial career

Llácer was an analyst of Alessio Lisci's staff at Levante during the 2019–20 season, before joining Pau Quesada's staff at Elche CF Ilicitano as his assistant in 2020.[10] In June 2021, he moved to Recreativo de Huelva as Alberto Gallego's assistant,[11][12] and followed him back to Elche Ilicitano under the same role in the following year.[13]

On 9 July 2023, Llácer joined Primera Federación side Unionistas de Salamanca CF as Dani Ponz's assistant.[14] The following 28 May, he was appointed manager of the club after Ponz opted to leave.[15]

On 7 April 2025, Llácer was dismissed by Unionistas.[16] On 19 July, he was named at the helm of fellow third division side Ourense CF,[17] and led the club to the 2025 Copa Federación title, also knocking out La Liga sides Real Oviedo and Girona FC in the 2025–26 Copa del Rey.

Llácer was sacked from the Galicians on 13 May 2026, with the club seriously threatened with relegation.[18]
