Football career

After training several amateur teams in the Community of Madrid, whilst also working as a cook in his family business,[1][2] Sandoval joined Rayo Vallecano B in early 2008, taking the club to runner-up honours in the Copa Federación de España the following year[3] and achieving promotion to Segunda División B for the first time in the club's history in 2010.[4] For the 2010–11 season he was appointed manager of the first team,[5] helping it return to La Liga after an absence of eight years and being awarded the Miguel Muñoz Trophy as best manager in Segunda División in the process.[6]

On 18 October 2012 Sandoval returned to the second level after being appointed at Sporting de Gijón, replacing fired Manolo Sánchez.[7] He was relieved of his duties on 4 May 2014, with the team in seventh position in the second division.[8]

On 1 May 2015 Sandoval was appointed at the helm of Granada CF, until the end of the campaign.[9] He managed to collect ten points in only four games, helping the club finally avoid relegation as 17th.[10]
