After retiring, Resino returned to Atlético in different periods and capacities (goalkeeper coach,
sporting director). Resino's next stop was
Levante UD. After taking charge midway through
the campaign, replacing
Juan Ramón López Caro, he helped them to avoid relegation and had his contract renewed; seven games and six losses into the
following season, however, he was sacked. After one and a half solid seasons in the second tier with
CD Castellón, Resino returned to Atlético in February 2009, replacing released
Javier Aguirre and leading the side to the
same place as the previous year thus again
qualifying for the
UEFA Champions League, and he subsequently agreed to an extension. On 23 October, he was fired following a poor string of results – only one win in
the league from seven matches, the culmination being a 4–0 group stage defeat at
Chelsea in the
Champions League. In early December 2010, Abel was appointed head coach of
Real Valladolid in the second division, replacing the dismissed
Antonio Gómez. His first game in charge produced nine goals, a 4–5 home loss against
CD Numancia. Resino was appointed at
Granada CF on 22 January 2012, taking over from
Fabri González after a 3–0 defeat away to
RCD Espanyol, fired even though the club was still out of the relegation zone. On 18 February of the following year he returned to active and the top flight, taking the place of
Paco Herrera at
relegation-threatened side
RC Celta de Vigo. Resino returned to Granada on 19 January 2015, replacing the dismissed
Joaquín Caparrós at the helm of the bottom-placed team. He was relieved of his duties on 1 May, after only being able to
climb one position in the table. ==Managerial statistics==
