}}

Luis Miguel Ramis Monfort (born 25 July 1970) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played mainly as a centre-back, currently manager of Segunda División club Burgos.

He amassed La Liga totals of 165 matches and eight goals over nine seasons, mainly in representation of Deportivo (three and a half years), Real Madrid and Tenerife (two apiece).

Playing career

Born in Tarragona, Catalonia, Ramis started his career with hometown club Gimnàstic and, already in his 20s, joined Real Madrid's reserves. In 1992–93 he managed seven La Liga appearances with the main squad, being definitely promoted the following season.

In the 1994 Iberoamerican Cup, Ramis appeared in the second leg against Boca Juniors as a substitute, in a 2–1 loss in Buenos Aires (4–3 aggregate win).{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/ibero.html|title=Copa Iberoamericana|publisher=RSSSF|first=Luca|last=Gandini|access-date=14 April 2021}} Shortly after, he moved to Tenerife as part of the deal involving Fernando Redondo{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/1994/05/18/deportes/769212014_850215.html|title=El Madrid y el Tenerife cierran el fichaje de Redondo|trans-title=Madrid and Tenerife complete signing of Redondo|publisher=El País|language=es|date=18 May 1994|access-date=14 April 2021}} and, after two solid top-flight campaigns, signed with Sevilla in the same league, playing a career-best 39 matches albeit in a final relegation.

Ramis moved to firmly established Deportivo La Coruña in 1997–98, initially acting as backup to Noureddine Naybet. After a relatively good first year, his career was severely marred by a double anterior cruciate ligament/fibula injury from which he never fully recovered; in his last professional years after leaving Depor, he totalled only 45 games as all his teams were relegated (Racing Santander in the top division, Gimnàstic and Racing Ferrol in the Segunda División).{{cite news|url=https://as.com/masdeporte/2002/12/03/polideportivo/1038892540_850215.html|title="Quiero retomar la ilusión por el fútbol"|trans-title="I want to be hungry again as a footballer"|publisher=Diario AS|first=J.

Coaching career

Ramis retired from the game in 2006, after three years in the Tercera División. His first steps in coaching (as assistant first) were spent in Real Madrid's youth categories.[http://www.marca.com/2011/11/22/futbol/mas_futbol/1321989625.html Ramis, nuevo entrenador del Juvenil A del Madrid (Ramis, new Madrid's Juvenil A coach)]; Marca, 22 November 2011 (in Spanish)[http://www.goal.com/es/news/25/champions-league/2014/03/11/4675141/psg-real-madrid-los-chicos-de-luis-miguel-ramis-se-juegan-la PSG – Real Madrid: Los chicos de Luis Miguel Ramis se juegan la Final Four de la Youth League (PSG – Real Madrid: Luis Miguel Ramis' boys play for Youth League Final Four)]; Goal, 11 March 2014 (in Spanish)[http://www.realmadrid.com/en/news/2015/12/under-19s-to-meet-elfsborg-in-the-uefa-youth-league-play-offs Under-19s to meet Elfsborg in the UEFA Youth League play-offs]; Real Madrid CF, 14 December 2015
