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]
