Club career
Born in Seville, Nando started his career with hometown's Sevilla FC, his first game being on 22 February 1987 in a 1–0 home win against Athletic Bilbao (90 minutes played). He left in the 1990 summer to join FC Barcelona – with the Andalusians having an option to rebuy – where he won the European Cup in 1992 and two La Liga titles in two seasons; at his new team, he reunited with former Sevilla defensive mate Ricardo Serna.[1]
Subsequently, Nando returned to Sevilla, but was immediately bought by Barça archrivals Real Madrid,[2] where he would spend three-and-a-half seasons with irregular playing time – 46 matches in his first two years combined, three in the following – before moving to RCD Espanyol in January 1996.[3] In the other Catalonia side he would play until the end of the 2000–01 campaign, scoring his only goals as a professional in the process.[4][5]
Nando retired in 2001, aged almost 34.
International career
Nando earned eight caps for the Spain national team, all while at Barcelona. His debut came on 12 September 1990 in a 3–0 friendly win over Brazil, in Gijón.[6]
