Career[edit]

Born in Basauri, Biscay, Basque Country, Oca began his managerial career with Levante UD's Juvenil D side in 2011, after previously working as a fitness coach for the youth teams of Villarreal CF, Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao. On 5 June 2014, he was named in charge of the Juvenil A squad of the former.[1]

On 8 July 2016, Oca was appointed manager of Atlético Madrid's Juvenil División de Honor team.[2] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, he initially took over Deportivo Alavés' Juvenil A squad,[3] before replacing Aitor Orueta at the helm of the reserves on 3 October 2017.[4]

Oca was dismissed by the Miniglorias on 4 March 2019, being replaced by Iñaki Alonso.[5] On 30 May, he moved abroad after being named assistant manager of Mexican club Atlético San Luis, being also in charge of their under-20 team.[6]

Oca returned to his home country on 8 December 2020, after being appointed in charge of Tercera División side Sestao River Club.[7] The following 15 June, after achieving promotion to Segunda División RFEF, he left the club.[8]

On 25 August 2021, Oca moved to Ecuador and joined Ismael Rescalvo's staff at Emelec, as his assistant.[9] On 24 March of the following year, he moved to fellow league team Independiente del Valle, as the new Head of Youth Football.[10] He was also interim coach of the reserve team for three months in that year.[11]

On 28 November 2022, Oca returned to managerial duties after being named manager of Universidad Católica del Ecuador.[12] Despite qualifying the club to the 2024 Copa Sudamericana, he left on 5 December 2023 as his contract was not renewed.[13]

On 22 April 2024, Oca was named manager of Deportivo Cuenca, also in the Ecuadorian top tier.[14]
