Manager career

Born in Madrid, Franco was an assistant manager at Coria CF and CF Fuenlabrada, and started his managerial career at CD Santa Eugenia in 2010.[1] On 27 January 2012 he returned to Fuenlabrada, now as a fitness coach.[2]

On 5 July 2012 Franco was named CD Illescas manager, with his side in Tercera División.[3] On 11 June of the following year he was appointed at the helm of fellow league team CD Puertollano;[4] in his first and only campaign he led the club to a first position in their group, but the Castile-La Mancha side renounced promotion due to financial problems.

On 28 July 2014 Franco was appointed Getafe CF B manager.[5] On 26 February of the following year, after the resignation of Quique Flores, he was named interim manager of the main squad,[6] and appeared in his professional match two days later, a 2–3 away loss against Málaga CF.[7]

On 3 March 2015 Franco's spell in the main squad was further extended, with Javier Casquero as his assistant.[8] Eight days later, after a 2–1 away win against Córdoba CF, the duo was officially granted until the end of the season.[9]

On 1 June 2015, after avoiding relegation with the main squad, he was relieved from his duties.[10] On 10 March of the following year he was appointed manager of Georgian club FC Saburtalo Tbilisi, joining compatriot Manolo Hierro.[11]

gollark: I rarely have enough pockets.
gollark: This is an uncool thing which I think is mostly just put in by lazy authors/gamedevs for balance.
gollark: Not because those are impossible to automate but because if someone does automate them I will likely have bigger issues than "oh no, I no longer have a job".
gollark: Anyway, I figure I should be *relatively* safe from automation if I work in somewhat creative technical fields and/or designing automation systems myself.
gollark: I have not yet seen a coherent plan for how to... work stuff... without that.
