Fernando Martínez Perales (born 21 May 1967), commonly known as Nando, is a Spanish retired professional footballer who played as a left-back, also a manager.
In his career, the majority of which was spent at Valencia and Deportivo, he totalled 413 games across the two top tiers of Spanish football over 14 seasons. Of those, 343 were in La Liga (15 goals).
Born in Valencia, Nando began his career with local club Levante UD, but moved across town to La Liga's Valencia CF after securing promotion from Tercera División in 1987.[1] An attacking-minded fullback who started his career as a midfielder,[2] he spent five seasons at the latter, but started less frequently in his final two years following the arrival of Brazilian Leonardo.
Following the arrival of John Toshack as Deportivo manager in 1995, Nando once again found himself increasingly on the sidelines.[2] Although he regained first-choice status for the 1996–97 season he lost his place to Frenchman Jérôme Bonnissel in the following, and signed with Segunda División team Sevilla FC in January 1998 after five and a half years and 202 competitive appearances.
Nando made his debut for Spain on 14 September 1988 in a 1–2 friendly loss to Yugoslavia, in Oviedo.[4] His second – and final – appearance came four and a half years later in a 1–1 draw with Mexico, another exhibition game which was played in Las Palmas.[5]
