Nicknamed Fito, Menéndez came through at San Luis and San Rafael and made his Premier Division debut with Isidro Metapán in 1989, before joining FAS for a lengthy and successful spell during the 1990s. He won three league titles with FAS. In 2000 he returned to Isidro Metapán only to return to FAS, after a stint at Once Municipal, with whom he won the Apertura 2006.[1]
Menéndez made his debut for El Salvador in a June 1994 friendly match against Brazil and has earned a total of 4 caps, scoring no goals. He has represented his country at the 1995 UNCAF Nations Cup[2]
His final international match was an October 1999 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification match against Cuba.
After retiring as a player, Menéndez was shortly caretaker-manager of FAS and currently works as goalkeeping coach at the club. In June 2011, Ménendez was one of the first to be heard in a legal case about possible selling of matches in 2010.[3]
