Daniel "Dani" Poyatos Algaba (born 23 June 1978) is a Spanish professional football manager. Besides Spain, he has managed in Bahrain, Israel, Greece and Japan.[2]
Born in Barcelona, Poyatos began working in the youth ranks of hometown club RCD Espanyol. After working for the underage teams of the Bahrain national team and the under-18s of the Catalonia national team, he became the assistant to Jordi Cruyff at Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2017.

After starting the 2020–21 season with just a point in his first three games, Poyatos left the club by mutual consent on 12 October 2020.[6]
On 24 December 2020, Poyatos signed as manager of the 2020 J2 League champions and newly promoted J1 League side Tokushima Vortis ahead of the 2021 season,[7] replacing compatriot Ricardo Rodríguez who left for fellow J1 League side Urawa Red Diamonds.[8]
