José Aurelio Gay López (born 10 December 1965) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and a current coach.
Gay was associated with Zaragoza throughout his career, serving the club as both a player and manager. Over the course of eight seasons he amassed La Liga totals of 180 games and 27 goals, starting out at Castilla.
Born in Madrid, Gay began playing football with Real Madrid, eventually progressing to the reserves, Castilla CF. While at the club he was a member of the Spain under-20 side that finished runners-up at the 1985 FIFA World Youth Championship, starting in five of six games and appearing as a substitute in the other.
After four seasons in the second division, Gay moved up to La Liga with RCD Español in the summer of 1988. He scored twice in 17 matches during his debut season, in which the Catalans were relegated, but eventually established himself in the starting XI, spending one season in the second level and another in the first; in 1990–91, his last year, he was the team's second-highest league goalscorer with five goals – only behind German Wolfram Wuttke – as he helped them retain their top flight status.
Gay moved to Real Zaragoza in the summer of 1991. In consecutive seasons he helped the Aragonese to the 1994 domestic cup and the following year's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, although he was seriously injured during the latter campaign. He only appeared sparingly afterwards, and left the club in June 1996.
