On 20th November 2025, Bravo took charge of Malagueño after Juanfran Funes was promoted to Málaga CF's first team, with the reserve side competing in Group 4 of the Segunda Federación.
Francis Bravo has enjoyed a long coaching career at the club, serving as assistant coach for both Málaga CF's first team and reserve team during different periods, as well as head coach of the club's Juvenil ‘A’ side and Atlético Malagueño itself.
The sporting department, led by Loren Juarros, has reaffirmed its confidence in Bravo's experience by entrusting him with the team from the outset of a new campaign, as Atlético Malagueño returns to the Tercera Federación of Spanish football.
Málaga CF wishes Francis Bravo and his entire coaching staff every success for the 2026/27 season, with the aim of continuing to foster the sporting and personal development of the young talents coming through the MCF Academy.
