Fernando Macedo da Silva Rodilla, aka Nano (born 20 April 1982 in A Coruña, Galicia), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for CD Numancia as a left winger.

Football career

At 16, Nano seemed on the verge of a promising future, already playing with FC Barcelona's reserves. Aged just 17, he would make his first team – and La Liga – debuts against Real Zaragoza; he would however, not be able to progress any further in his five-year stay with the Catalans, only amassing three more matches in the main squad.

After a solid first season with Atlético Madrid, with UEFA Cup qualification, Nano's career faded into obscurity, as he appeared rarely with another side from Madrid, Getafe CF, and slightly more with Cádiz CF (the latter in division two).

Nano then joined lowly Racing de Ferrol, impressing enough to return to the second level, penning a three-year deal with CD Numancia.
