David Davis Cámara (born 25 October 1976) is a Spanish handball coach and former player. He currently coaches Romanian club Dinamo București. Davis is of Equatorial Guinean ancestry.
His usual playing position was as left winger. His last team was FC Porto in 2013. In 2014 he became assistant coach in RK Vardar from Skopje, Macedonia.
In 2016 he was appointed head coach of ŽRK Vardar.
Since 2014 he has lived a new phase on the bench. He began his work as a coach in the technical team of RK Vardar together with Raúl González Gutiérrez, with whom he won the EHF Champions League in 2017 after having come close to participating in the Final Four in Cologne in the previous two seasons since the League. Macedonia. They again qualified for the EHFCL Final4 in 2018. In the summer of 2018, he took the reins of the Egyptian national team, with whom he competed at the 2019 World Cup in Denmark, achieving a historic eighth place six months later.
In October 2018 he took over Telekom Veszprém. In a very complicated season, he managed to recover the team until they became champions of the Hungarian League and the SEHA League, while they managed to reach the Champions League final. The Egyptian Federation then demanded exclusivity from Davis for his project and, faced with the ultimatum, the Spaniard decided to continue as head of Telekom Veszprém. During the pandemic, in the 2019/2020 season and after the cancellation of the national competitions, the team once again earned a place in the Final4. In 2021, after losing in the quarterfinals against Nantes and lifting the Hungarian Cup, Davis disassociated himself from the Magyars.
In January 2022, the Spanish coach returns to Skopje to manage RK Vardar, which at this point in the season closes its Champions League group and barely stays alive in the national competition. The team manages to get through the difficult group stage and falls to Telekom Veszprém (after starting a draw with Balaton). Despite numerous injuries and financial difficulties, the Macedonians are proclaimed champions of the League and Cup. The sanction of the EHF that prevents RK Vardar from playing in European competitions separated their paths.
