Floro was born in Gijón, Asturias. During his professional career he managed Albacete Balompié (two spells, starting off in 1989 in Segunda División B and leading the club to a first-ever La Liga promotion in just two years[2]), Real Madrid (winning the Copa del Rey in his first season), Sporting de Gijón, Vissel Kobe, Club de Fútbol Monterrey, Villarreal CF[3]– he had already coached the Valencian in the third level – RCD Mallorca (leaving the Balearic Islands side after just a few months after being appointed in the 2004 summer[4]) and Barcelona Sporting Club.[5]
Starting in 2005 Floro briefly worked for former club Real Madrid as director of football,[6] then switched to sports commentator with Telecinco. On 5 July 2013, the Canadian Soccer Association announced him as the new manager of the national team,[7][8] taking over from interim coach Colin Miller on 1 August.[9]
