Playing career
Born in Madrid, Fernández moved to Benidorm, Alicante, Valencian Community at the age of two,[1] and began playing with local sides before joining Atlético Madrid's youth setup at the age of 12.[2] In 2008, after finishing his formation, he signed for Tercera División side CU Collado Villalba.
Fernández moved to Las Rozas CF in 2009, and helped the club to achieve promotion to division four before returning to his previous club in January 2011. On 24 July 2015, after achieving two promotions with Collado Villalba, he moved abroad and signed for Guernsey FC of the English Isthmian League.[3]
Despite being told to "cope with the robustness of the English game" in his first matches,[4] Fernández soon established himself as a starter for the Green Lions,[1] but returned to his home country with SF Benidorm CD in May 2016. In 2017, he agreed to a deal with CF La Nucía, playing for their reserve team in the regional leagues before retiring in the following year.
Managerial career
Fernández worked as manager of the Benjamín B squad of La Nucía during his playing days, and became César Ferrando's assistant at Indian side Jamshedpur FC in July 2018.[5] He followed Ferrando back to La Nucía in 2019, again as his assistant, before taking over their B-team in April 2021.[6]
On 25 January 2023, Fernández was named interim manager of the Nucieros in Primera Federación, after Ferrando was sacked.[7] He was confirmed as manager of the side until the end of the season on 3 February,[8] but was sacked on 13 April, with the club in the relegation zone.[9]
On 20 November 2023, Fernández was announced as the Director of CF Benidorm's youth sides.[10] On 28 December, however, he left the club to return to managerial duties, after being named at the helm of CDA Navalcarnero in Segunda Federación.[11]
Fernández renewed his contract with Naval on 18 June 2024,[12] but left the following 12 May, after narrowly missing out a play-off spot.[13] On 13 June 2025, he was appointed manager of CF Rayo Majadahonda, recently relegated to division four.[14]
On 22 May 2026, after leading Rayo back to the third division at first attempt, Fernández agreed to a one-year extension.[15]
