Manager career

Born in La Roda de Andalucía, Seville, Andalusia, Romero made his managerial debuts with Córdoba CF B, after being linked with the club for more than 20 years.[1] On 29 June 2006 he was appointed Montilla CF manager,[2] remaining in charge for three seasons but failing to achieve a promotion.

In 2009 Romero returned to Córdoba CF, now named as manager of the youth sides.[3] Two years later, after taking the side to an impressive run in Copa del Rey Juvenil, he was appointed director of the youth setup.[4]

On 15 October 2013 Romero returned to the Verdiblancos' reserve team, replacing fired Pepe Puche.[5] On 16 March 2015, after Miroslav Đukić's dismissal, he was named interim manager of the main squad in La Liga.[6]

Romero appeared in his first professional match on the 22nd, a 1–3 away loss against Real Sociedad.[7] After failing to win a single match and suffering relegation as dead last, he was relieved from his duties, being named director of the club's Ciudad Deportiva.[8]

gollark: Well, that is quite bad, have you tried asking him not to?
gollark: I mean, there's a difference between "actually causes significant problems" and "violates social norms a bit"...
gollark: :/
gollark: *there is a velociraptor behind you*
gollark: Ah, but the thing may not be a complex thing.
