Playing career

edit

Born in Córdoba, Sandroni moved to Yecla, Region of Murcia at the age of 14.[2] After playing youth football with Yeclano CF, he represented UD Petrelense CF and Yecla Promesas in the regional leagues before returning to Yeclano, with the club in Segunda División B.[3]

After leaving Yeclano in 1996, Sandroni played for Tercera División sides Hellín Deportivo, Pinoso CF,[4] Sangonera Atlético CF and Jumilla CF before joining newly-formed Yeclano Deportivo in 2004.[3] In 2006, after two consecutive promotions (the last one to the fourth division), he retired at the age of 33.[3]

Managerial career

edit

Immediately after retiring, Sandroni became manager of his last club Yeclano. He took the club to a first-ever promotion to Segunda División B in 2010, and left in 2011, after suffering relegation.[3]

On 30 June 2011, Sandroni took over Real Murcia's reserves in the fourth division. He left on 26 June 2013, and worked as a youth coordinator at Caudete Deportivo before being named at the helm of fellow league team CD Olímpic de Xàtiva on 16 July 2014.[5]

On 14 June 2016, after one year without a club, Sandroni returned to Yeclano.[6] He again led the club to the third division in 2019, and left on 27 May 2021, after another relegation.[7]

On 7 June 2021, Sandroni was appointed manager of Linares Deportivo in Primera División RFEF.[8] He was sacked on 24 September, after no wins in four matches.[9]

On 17 April 2023, Sandroni was named manager of fellow third division side CF Intercity.[10] After managing to avoid relegation with the club, he renewed his contract for a further season on 27 June.[11]

Sandroni was dismissed by Intercity on 24 September 2024, after a poor start of the 2024–25 campaign.[12]
