Félix Javier Carnero Correa (born 1 June 1936) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder, and is a former manager.
Born in Bouzas, Vigo, Pontevedra, Galicia, Carnero started his career with Rápido de Bouzas before returning to RC Celta de Vigo, a club he represented as a youth, in 1967.[1] He made his professional debut on 3 March 1968, starting in a 1–2 Segunda División home loss against Real Valladolid.[2]
In July 1968, after appearing rarely, Carnero moved to Tercera División side CD Castellón, where he helped the side to achieve promotion to the second division in his first season. He was subsequently a regular starter for the side, winning promotion to La Liga in 1972.
Carnero made his debut in the top tier on 3 September 1972, playing the full 90 minutes of a 2–3 home loss against Real Madrid.[3] He scored his first goals in the category the following 4 March, as he scored a brace in a 5–1 home routing of former side Celta.[4]
In 1974, after suffering relegation, Carnero returned to Celta, where he spent his subsequent five campaigns alternating between the first and second levels. In 1979, he retired at the age of 31.[5]
