Club career

Born in Soria, Machín was a CD Numancia youth graduate. Despite making five first team appearances during the 1993–94 season in Segunda División B, his spell at the club was mainly associated with the reserves until 1998, when a severe knee injury forced his retirement at the age of just 23.[1]

In 2000 he returned to Numancia, being assigned to its youth setup, and was promoted to the B-side in Tercera División in 2006; after leading the club to the play-offs, he was appointed the main squad's assistant in the 2007 summer.[2]

On 30 May 2011, Machín was appointed first-team coach in Segunda División, replacing fired Juan Carlos Unzué.[3] After keeping them in the league for the following two seasons, he left the Rojillos.[4]

Machín replaced fired Javi López at the helm of Girona FC on 9 March 2014.[5] After an impressive 2014–15 campaign which his side finished third but failed to gain promotion, he signed a two-year contract extension until 2018.[6]

On 17 August 2017, after achieving promotion to La Liga, Machín extended his contract until 2019.[7] He led the club to an impressive tenth position, only seven points shy of a European competition spot; highlights included a 6–0 home routing of UD Las Palmas.[8]

Machín was appointed Sevilla FC coach on 28 May 2018, signing a two-year contract with the club.[9] The following 15 March, he was sacked after being knocked out of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 by SK Slavia Praha the previous day.[10]

On 7 October 2019, Machín was appointed manager of RCD Espanyol in the top tier for two years, replacing fired David Gallego.[11] He was himself sacked on 22 December, with the team in last place.[12]
