Club career
Born in Valencia, Voro graduated from hometown Valencia CF's youth academy, going on to represent its B-side in his first two years as a senior. After a one 1/2-year loan with CD Tenerife in the second division, he played during eight seasons – seven in La Liga – with the Che's first team, which included 37 games with two goals in the 1989–90 campaign as the club finished second.
Subsequently Voro joined Deportivo de La Coruña, being an instrumental part in the rise of Super Depor during the early to mid-1990s. Having started 1996–97 with the Galicians he finished it with CD Logroñés, retiring in the second level in 1999.
On 21 April 2008, after several years working with Valencia as match delegate, Voro became manager of his former team following the sacking of Ronald Koeman.[1] However, after having guided his team to the conquest of the Copa del Rey, he was replaced by Unai Emery for the 2008–09 season and reinstated in his previous post.
International career
Voro earned nine caps for the Spain national football team during two years, and was part of Spain's squad in the 1994 FIFA World Cup.[2]
His debut came on 13 October 1993 in a decisive 1994 World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Lansdowne Road, Dublin – Voro played 90 minutes in a 3–1 win.[3]
