Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Planagumà started his managerial career with RCD Espanyol's youth categories. After eleven seasons in the role, he left the club and joined CE Pubilla Casas.

In December 2011, Planagumà was appointed UDA Gramenet manager in Tercera División, after previously starting the campaign in charge of the B-side. After only two matches in charge he left the club, and moved to fellow league team Villarreal CF C.

In July 2012, Planagumà was confirmed as manager of the reserves in Segunda División B. On 3 June 2014 he returned to his former club Espanyol, being appointed at the helm of the B-team also in the third division.

Planagumà appeared in his first match as a professional on 1 October 2016, a 0–1 home defeat against newly promoted CD Leganés. He was subsequently replaced by Lucas Alcaraz, and returned to his previous duties.

On 23 June 2017, Planagumà was named manager of UCAM Murcia CF, newly relegated from Segunda División. He was dismissed on 13 November, after 15 games.

On 9 January 2020, Planagumà moved abroad for the first time, signing a one-year deal at J3 League club FC Imabari in Japan, under the presidency of former national team manager Takeshi Okada.
