Club career

[edit]

Cádiz

[edit]

Born in Tétouan, Morocco to Spanish parents, Chano made his professional debut for Cádiz CF on 13 January 1980, in a 0–2 Segunda División defeat away to Deportivo Alavés.[1] From 1981 to 1984 he achieved two promotions to La Liga,[2] and an equal number of relegations.[3]

On 12 September 1982, Chano scored the first and only league goal for the Andalusians, in a 1–0 success at Atlético Madrid B for the second level championship.[4] He made the first of 31 appearances for the club in the Spanish top flight on 27 December 1981, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute in a 5–1 home routing of CD Castellón.[5]

Mallorca / Málaga

[edit]

In July 1984, Chano signed for RCD Mallorca in the second tier,[6] contributing with 27 games to the Balearic Islands side's ascension to the top flight in his second season[7] and leaving following its relegation in his fourth. He then joined CD Málaga,[8] playing two campaigns in the former competition and as many in division two, scoring twice in 1990–91[9][10] and retiring in 1992 at the age of 30 from a broken tibia and fibula.[11]

International career

[edit]

Chano won 11 caps for Spain at youth level, including two for the under-21s.[12][13] He scored twice at the 1981 FIFA World Youth Championship for the under-20 team, in a group stage exit.

Personal life

[edit]

In May 2006, Chano was called to court in San Fernando, Cádiz on the charge of being violently abusive towards his son. He had previously been jailed in Cádiz on a charge of child grooming, of which he was later released innocent. In 2003, he was convicted in Málaga of making threats – including death threats – to a woman with whom he had a daughter, also being convicted for threats to his wife in October of that year.[11]
