Playing career

Born in O Porriño, Pontevedra, Galicia, Giráldez joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2001, from hometown side Porriño Industrial FC. He made his senior debut with the C-team during the 2006–07 season, in Tercera División.

In 2007, after one appearance with Real's reserves in Segunda División B, Giráldez moved to cross-town rivals Atlético Madrid and was assigned to the B-team also in the third division.[1]

Giráldez returned to his home region in 2009, joining fellow third tier side Pontevedra CF.[2] He signed for CD Ourense in the fourth level on 28 July 2011,[3] helping in their promotion to the third division in his first season; he left the latter club in May 2013.[4]

On 17 June 2013, Giráldez agreed to a deal with Coruxo FC in the third level.[5] After being sparingly used during the campaign, he returned to his first club Porriño in 2014, where he scored a career-best eight goals during the 2015–16 season.

Giráldez helped Porriño in their promotion to the fourth division in 2018, and retired in the following year, aged 31.[6]

Managerial career

In 2015, while still a player, Giráldez was also named manager of Porriño Industrial's Juvenil squad. In the following year, he joined RC Celta de Vigo's structure, and was a manager of their Cadete B, Cadete A and Juvenil B squads.[6]

On 27 June 2019, Giráldez was named in charge of Gran Peña FC, Celta's farm team,[7] and also remained manager of their Juvenil B team. On 10 August 2021, he was appointed manager of the Juvenil División de Honor squad.[8]

On 2 July 2022, Giráldez replaced Onésimo Sánchez at the helm of Celta's B-team;[9] the club officially announced his new role ten days later.[10]
