López coached Baloncesto Galicia Ferrol (1995–1997) and Gijón Baloncesto (1998–2002), before taking office as the coach of Spain, which he guided to a silver medal at the EuroBasket 2003. After a brief spell at CB Sevilla, he was sacked after finishing 13th in the ACB. He was without a club when he was hired to coach the Portugal national basketball team, in January 2008. Portugal failed the direct qualification for the EuroBasket 2009, as well as the final play-offs. The team's performance at the EuroBasket 2011 qualification round lead to his dismissal from office.
Before leaving Portugal national team, he cumulated the coaching position in FC Porto since 2009.[1]
On 10 February 2015 Moncho López was appointed head coach of the Angola national team for the 2015 AfroBasket, where he won the bronze medal. He left office in August 2015.[2]
