Miguel Ángel García Pérez-Roldán (born 12 February 1981), known as Corona, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Almería as a midfielder.
Corona was born in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo. A product of La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid, he played for their C and B-teams, the latter competing in the third division.
Corona was signed by Real Zaragoza in January 2001, but only appeared in 33 top flight games for the Aragonese over the course of four seasons, with loans in the second level in between (one full season with Polideportivo Ejido, six months with Albacete Balompié).
Corona was loaned again in 2006–07, now to UD Almería, being instrumental in the Andalusia side's first-ever promotion to the top level and reuniting with former Zaragoza teammate Fernando Soriano. The move was made permanent for the following campaign, and both players were instrumental as the team went on to finish eighth in their maiden season in the main category.
Corona scored his first goal in the top level with a header, in a 1–2 away defeat against CA Osasuna on 9 March 2008, his only in the season. He continued to be a regular for Almería in the subsequent years, often starting but rarely finishing a match.
