Playing career

edit

Mandiá was born in Alfoz, Province of Lugo. Over a 16-year playing career he represented Real Madrid Castilla (adding one first-team appearance),[1][2] RCD Español, RC Celta de Vigo – helping to a 1992 promotion to La Liga[3]CD Logroñés, CD Toledo and Córdoba CF.

Mandiá totalled 89 top-flight matches over the course of seven seasons, going scoreless in the process.

Coaching career

edit

Mandiá started a coaching career two years after retiring, achieving promotion from the Segunda División B with Hércules CF in 2005.[4][5] In the 2006–07 season of Segunda División, he served as assistant to Míchel at Real Madrid Castilla,[6][7] as they eventually dropped down a level.

Mandiá then took over as manager, falling just one point short of playoff contention in the 2007–08 campaign. After a second spell at Hércules,[8] he was named Racing de Santander's manager in late June 2009.[9] After a poor start to the season, with only one point in the first five home matches, he was sacked by the Cantabrians on 9 November.[10]

Mandiá returned to active in late September 2010, replacing fired Gonzalo Arconada at CD Tenerife (five games, five losses).[11][12] On 23 January 2011, following a 1–1 home draw against UD Las Palmas, he too was dismissed.[13]

In December 2013, Mandiá was appointed at second-division club Deportivo Alavés,[14] but was relieved of his duties after only three months in charge.[15] On 10 February 2015 he was hired at CE Sabadell FC for the rest of the season,[16] and left on 10 June once the Catalans were relegated to the third tier.[17]

Subsequently, Mandiá worked as assistant manager to Míchel at Ligue 1 side Olympique de Marseille, Málaga CF,[18] Liga MX's Club Universidad Nacional[19] and Getafe CF.[20]
