Fernando Macedo da Silva Rodilla (born 20 April 1982), commonly known as Nano, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Racing de Ferrol mainly as a left winger.

Football career

Nano was born in A Coruña, Galicia. At age 16, he seemed on the verge of a promising future as he was already playing with FC Barcelona's reserves, and the following year he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, against Real Zaragoza; he would however, not be able to progress any further in his five-year stay with the Catalans, only appearing in three more games with the main squad.

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

Nano then joined lowly Racing de Ferrol, impressing enough to return to the second level and signing a three-year contract with CD Numancia. He scored five goals in 37 matches in the 2011–12 campaign, helping the Soria side finish in tenth position.
