Playing career

Born in Madrid, Romero's first professional club was Getafe Deportivo, in Segunda División. He made his debut for the club on 5 September 1976, starting in a 2–3 away loss against CF Calvo Sotelo,[1] and scored his first goal on 31 October, netting the last in a 1–1 draw at UE Sant Andreu.

In the 1978 summer Romero moved to UD Salamanca in La Liga. He made his debut in the main category only on 6 May of the following year, starting in a 1–3 home loss against Real Sociedad.[2]

Romero joined Palencia CF in 1979,[3] but made no appearances for the side.

Managerial career

Romero made his managerial debuts with Tomelloso CF in the 1993–94 campaign, in Segunda División B.[4] He only returned to that category in 2002, after being appointed manager of AD Alcorcón.[5]

After a spell at CD Cobeña, Romero joined Atlético Madrid's setup: after a year in charge of the Juvenil squad,[6] he was named manager of the C-team in Tercera División, being later an interim manager and an assistant of the reserves.[7][8]

gollark: Well, if `debug` provides some information - start/end lines and file, I think - you can do it even *more* hackily and try to load load the relevant lines of the relevant file. Or you can patch `load` to do that somehow.
gollark: Oh, right, OC.
gollark: Functions seem to effectively consist of their code/source (you can get this, sort of, via `string.dump` and maybe `debug`), upvalues (`debug.getupvalue`), environment (`getfenv`?), and random metadata (name, file it's from, whatever else - `debug` can get this, don't know about setting it), so you can kind of swap them with lots of work.
gollark: Functions can probably be swapped, *extremely* hackily via insane debug abuse.
gollark: You need to click the wider bit on each colored line right of the item in the rack to connect them to that line.
