Manuel Castellano Castro, aka Lillo (born 27 March 1989 in Aspe, Alicante, Valencian Community), is a Spanish footballer who plays for SD Eibar as a right defender.

Club career

Lillo began his career with local Valencia CF, playing three seasons with the reserves. In 2006–07 and 2009–10 he totalled 23 appearances combined, with the team being relegated from the third division on both occasions; in between he spent the 2008–09 campaign on loan at Real Murcia, playing in less than one third of the games as the club finished 14th in the second level.

On 21 March 2010 Lillo appeared in his first official match with the main squad, playing the first 45 minutes of a 2–0 La Liga home win against UD Almería.^[1] In late May, as his contract with the Che was expiring, he signed with Elche CF;^[2] however, due to a mistake from his agent, the move was declared void and, two months later, he joined Almería.^[3]

Lillo spent the vast majority of his first season with the Andalusians with the B-side in division three, playing in only two games with the first team. In November 2012 the free agent joined another club in the category, CD Alcoyano.^[4]
