Playing career

edit

Born in Vilamalla, Girona, Catalonia, Fernández represented UE Figueres and CF Badalona as a youth.[1] He made his senior debut with UDA Gramenet's reserves in the Primera Catalana in 2012, before making his first team debut on 17 March 2013, in a 1–1 Tercera División away draw against UE Rubí.

In 2013, Fernández moved to CD Masnou also in the fourth division, but featured rarely. He joined UE Castelldefels in the same category in the following year,[2] but moved to UD Vista Alegre in the fifth level in 2015.[3] He retired in 2018, aged 25.

Managerial career

edit

While playing for Vista Alegre, Fernández was also a manager of their youth categories. In 2017, he moved to FC Barcelona and worked as a performance analyst in the Juvenil squad.[3]

In March 2021, Fernández moved abroad and became an assistant of the United Arab Emirates national under-21 team.[3] He returned to his home country in April 2023, after becoming Alejandro Sandroni's assistant at Primera Federación side CF Intercity.[4]

On 24 September 2024, Fernández was named manager of Intercity, after Sandroni was sacked.[5] On his senior debut as manager five days later, his side drew 1–1 at Antequera CF.[6]
