Gabino Rodríguez Rodríguez (born 18 June 1964 in Seville, Andalusia), known simply as Gabino, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.

Football career

During his career, Gabino managed to appear in ten professional seasons, mainly with hometown's Real Betis and RCD Español, six of those in La Liga. After three years with the Catalans, he returned to Seville in 1991 and played there for two more, both in the second division, posting a career-best six goals in each one of the campaigns, which did not end in promotion however.[1][2]

Gabino finished his career after a brief spell with Xerez CD (he also played for CD Logroñés in the second level early in his career, loaned by Betis) with 161 matches in the top division, scoring 19 goals. After serious economic and personal problems – he was briefly a maintenance worker (kits, balls, etc.) with lowly AD Ceuta, as well as being its assistant manager – he finished his Bachelor's degree, whilst working in a laundry, and eventually received his coaching degree; his first job was with amateurs CD Quintanar del Rey.[3][4]

After a few years working as director of football with Ceuta, Gabino once again returned to Betis, as a youth coordinator.

Personal life

Gabino's son Álvaro Brachi, was also a footballer. He too represented Betis (only the reserves), and spent most of his career with Videoton FC in Hungary.[1]
