Felip Ortíz Martínez (born 27 April 1977), known simply as Felip, is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is the manager of Primera Divisió club Inter Club d'Escaldes.

Club career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, the FC Barcelona youth graduate Felip spent his professional career mainly as a backup in the Segunda División, with the addition of four seasons in the Segunda División B. He represented in the former tier FC Barcelona B, CF Extremadura,[2][3] Gimnàstic de Tarragona (two spells), UD Salamanca and Orihuela CF, appearing in 130 league matches over a decade.[4]

From 2010 to 2012, Felip played amateur football in his native region, retiring at the age of 35.

International career

Felip was selected by Spain for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, although he failed to make an appearance.[5]

Coaching career

After retiring, Ortiz continued to work with Barcelona, most notably as assistant to Sergi Barjuán in the first and second teams;[6][7] the former had already been part of the latter's staff at China League One club Zhejiang Greentown as goalkeeper coach.[8] In the 2022–23 campaign, in the same capacity, he aided another fellow Spaniard, Vicente Moreno, at Saudi Pro League's Al Shabab.[9]

On 7 June 2024, Ortiz was appointed head coach of Andorran Primera Divisió side Inter Club d'Escaldes.[10] He won the national championship in his debut season,[11] adding the Copa Constitució to complete a double.[12]
