Club career


Francisco was born in Osuna, Province of Seville, Andalusia. During his career he represented Sevilla FC, his hometown club, and RCD Espanyol, appearing in 436 La Liga matches.[1] He finished his first season in the competition with 20 games – all starts – and one goal, helping the former to finish seventh.

In the 1992–93 campaign, Francisco experienced top-flight relegation with the Catalans, but achieved promotion the following year always as an important player. He retired at the end of 1996–97, aged nearly 35.[2]

López began working as a manager with Espanyol's youth sides, then proceeded to coach Coria CF, Real Jaén, CF Extremadura, UE Figueres[1] and top-tier CD Numancia.[3] He was dismissed after ten rounds in the 2004–05 season,[4] as the latter were eventually relegated. In July 2006, he joined Segunda División B team CF Badalona.[1]

Midway through the 2008–09 campaign, López was sacked as manager of CD Atlético Baleares, also in division three.[5] Subsequently, he was appointed at Sevilla FC C in the Tercera División.[6]


International career


Francisco earned 20 caps and scored one goal for Spain, and was selected for both the UEFA Euro 1984 and the 1986 FIFA World Cup tournaments.[7][1] His debut came on 27 October 1982, in a 1–0 win against Iceland in the Euro 1984 qualifiers.[8]
