Club career

Born in Valencia de Alcántara, Cáceres, Extremadura, Oviedo joined Atlético Madrid at the age of just 18, from Zamora CF. In February 1957, after making no appearances for the club, he signed for Córdoba CF in Segunda División.

Oviedo made his professional debut on 24 February 1957, starting and scoring the third in a 5–0 routing of Cádiz CF. On 9 June, he scored four goals in a 9–1 thrashing of Algeciras CF.[1]

In January 1958, after a short stint at Rayo Vallecano, Oviedo moved to La Liga with Sevilla FC. He made his debut in the competition on 9 February, in a 2–5 away loss against Athletic Bilbao.[2]

In the 1959 summer, after being rarely used, Oviedo joined RCD Mallorca. He contributed with six goals during his first season, as the Bermellones achieved promotion to the top tier.

In 1963, after suffering relegation, Oviedo signed for Elche CF also in the main category. He left the club in 1966, and after subsequent spells at Granada CF and Levante UD he retired in 1968, aged only 29, due to a knee injury.

Managerial career

Oviedo started up coaching with lowly CD Margaritense. After spells at UD Poblense and CD Atlético Baleares, he was appointed RCD Mallorca manager in 1979; with the side in Tercera División, he achieved two consecutive promotions and took the club back to the second level after a six-year absence.

After being dismissed in December 1981, Oviedo returned to his previous clubs Poblense and Atlético Baleares.[3] In August 1986 he was named CP Almería manager,[4] being also in charge of its successor in 1991.

In the 1993 summer Oviedo was appointed at the helm of newly promoted Mármol Macael CD, but was sacked in January of the following year.

gollark: And it gets shorter, yes.
gollark: Yours prints `[number] [maybe fizz and/or buzz]`, the python version does *not* and it's shorter if it is allowed to
gollark: Also, it does not seem to be doing the same thing as the python version.
gollark: And yours seems to be doing some bizarre thing where it's hardcoding a table of the different things it should print for each modulus.
