Playing career
Jandro was born in Mieres, Asturias. A product of Valencia CF's youth system, he played three times for the first team in a three-year span (with a stint at CD Numancia in between, where he did not appear). Subsequently, he had another La Liga spell with RC Celta de Vigo, featuring sparingly over two seasons and also serving a loan.[1][2]
After helping Celta regain their top-flight status in 2005, scoring 12 league goals, Jandro moved to Deportivo Alavés also of the top division,[3][4] being immediately relegated. He signed with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in summer 2007[5] and, after two Segunda División seasons with the Catalans as first choice, continued in that tier as he joined Elche CF on a two-year contract.[6]
On 11 March 2010, after appearing rarely for the club – but netting three times – Jandro was released by mutual consent.[7] In late July he signed with another side in division two, Girona FC,[8] and scored 11 goals while playing all 42 games (38 starts, nearly 3,500 minutes of action) in his first season, with his team eventually ranking 11th.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]
On 25 August 2012, Jandro was named Player of the match as Girona won 5–1 away against CD Guadalajara, scoring once and providing two assists.[20]
Coaching career
On 6 July 2021, Jandro was named manager of Tercera División RFEF side CD Acero.[21] The following 18 May, after narrowly missing out on promotion in the play-offs, he left.[22]
In June 2022, Jandro was appointed at Villarreal CF's C team also in the fifth tier.[23] He agreed to have his contract terminated on 13 December 2023, in order to take over second-division SD Amorebieta.[24][25] On his professional debut four days later, his side drew 1–1 at home against Real Zaragoza.[26]
