Marcelino would earn his fame as a manager rather than a player.
He left Sporting in 1989 to join Racing Santander, before spells with Levante and Elche.
He retired at just 28 due to injury.

Marcelino’s success earned him a move to Racing Santander, his former club. He led them to their best-ever finish of sixth and qualification for the UEFA Cup before returning to Segunda to join Real Zaragoza with the ambition of again winning promotion.

Marcelino got Zaragoza promoted but was sacked the following season, spending a period back at Racing before joining Sevilla in 2011. 
His time in Andalusia wasn’t a success, however, and he was relieved of his duties there in February 2012.

Marcelino was sacked by Villarreal in August 2016 over differences with the boardroom, joining Valencia the next May. 
He turned Los Che into a formidable force, winning the Copa del Rey in his second season at Mestalla. He was sacked, however, that September.

Now he’s back in the game, having joined Athletic in January.
Fiery, combustible but devastatingly effective, Marcelino is lean and mean with an eye on revenge.
With an Athletic team buying into his methods, the rest of LaLiga should be afraid. Very afraid.
