Albert Roca Pujol (born 20 October 1962) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current manager of Indian club Bengaluru FC.
Born in Granollers, Barcelona, Catalonia, Roca spent most of his career with clubs in his native region, starting out at CE L'Hospitalet in Segunda División B. In 1984 he signed with Real Zaragoza, being assigned to the B-team also in that level and helping them promote to Segunda División in his first season.
Roca's input at the professional level consisted of a combined 75 games and three goals in the second tier with Zaragoza B, Atlético Madrid B and Palamós CF, and 31/1 in La Liga with Zaragoza and CE Sabadell CF. He scored his only goal in the latter competition on 8 March 1987, in a 1–3 away loss against RCD Español whilst playing for the latter side; he retired at the end of the 1991–92 campaign, aged 29.
Roca began working as a head coach in 1998, at CE Europa in Tercera División. He won the Copa Catalunya against FC Barcelona, before switching to neighbouring club AEC Manlleu the following year.
