Career
editBorn in Vigo, Galicia, Cuesta began his career as a fitness coach at Pontevedra CF before joining the youth sides of RC Celta de Vigo in 2009, as a manager of the Alevín squad. He later progressed through the youth categories, taking over the Cadete B, Cadete A and Juvenil B teams before being named at the helm of the Juvenil A in June 2017.[1]
On 18 June 2021, Cuesta left Celta after a 12-year spell at the club,[2] and moved to China shortly after, taking over Wuhan Three Towns FC's under-19 side.[3][4] He returned to his home country on 16 June 2023, taking over Tercera Federación newcomers SD Sarriana.[5]
Cuesta narrowly missed out promotion in the play-offs with Sarriana,[6] and was named at the helm of Segunda Federación side Bergantiños FC on 6 June 2024.[7] He finished the campaign in the eighth position, but left on 5 June 2025 after failing to agree new terms.[8]
On 17 November 2025, Cuesta was appointed manager of Primera Federación side CD Arenteiro.[9] The following 2 March, he was dismissed after three consecutive losses.[10]
On 9 June 2026, Cuesta took over Ourense CF, freshly relegated to division four.[11]
