Managerial career
At the age of 16, he began training the base teams of the SG Comercial-Estudiantes de Lugo, at the same time that he played in the youth team of said club. A serious knee injury at the age of 18 made him leave the pitch prematurely, going on that same season to direct the youth team of which he was part.
At the age of 18 he began his academic training as a coach at the Galician School of Trainers, obtaining in three years and consecutively, the different titles of coach, which at that time credited him as the youngest Galician coach in history to obtain that level. , and possibly from Spain.
After leading the youth team of SG Comercial, and SD Castroverde and SD Quiroga in territorial category; His first opportunity to work in professional football arrives as Fabri González's assistant at CP Mérida of Second Division A in Spain. After that two-year stage, he would return to Galicia where he would train UD Xove-Lago and SD Mindoniense of the Third Division of Spain, to repeat as Fabri González's assistant at Real Murcia during the 1998-99 season, a year that would end in the same club but as first coach of the subsidiary team. On his return to Galicia, he took charge of CD Endesa-As Pontes, the Third Division team, to arrive in the 2000-01 season at CD Lugo where he would spend three seasons developing various positions, starting as coordinator of grassroots football, passing as technical secretary or second coach, and ending as coach of the first team.
In 2003 he directed SD Noja of the Third Division, with which he achieved the league champion title, contesting the play-offs for promotion to Second Division B, being eliminated in the round played against SD Huesca. Back in Galicia, where he combines his coaching tasks with those of a teacher at the Galician School of Coaches whenever he can, the possibility arises to train Caravaca CF in Levantine lands. This return to the Region of Murcia would have great significance for his future, since it is there that months later he ends up working for Lorca Deportiva CF in Second Division A, and where he would meet Unai Emery, who years later would take him as his assistant to Valencia CF in First Division.
After this stage, and combining his teaching tasks with those of coach, he led several teams in the Region of Murcia such as Murcia Deportivo CF (youth), FC Puente Tocinos, Real Murcia (youth), CD Cieza (youth), o UCAM CF (youth). After this stage, and with the firm intention of returning to the professional benches, he took over the newly created FC Cartagena B, reaching the Third Division after two consecutive promotions. As a sign of this eagerness to regain a gap in professional football, he made his third stop at Real Murcia, where he led the subsidiary team from the start, having the opportunity to temporarily lead the first team for two games. As a reward for this effort, during the 2019-20 season he had his first experience abroad, in the Volos NFC of the Greek Super League, acting as assistant to Juan Ferrando, where he became head coach for four games; That same season was rounded off with a new experience in Lithuania, at FC Zalgiris de la A Lyga, to end the year at SD Formentera.
