Managerial career

Born in Fuengirola, Málaga, Andalusia, Cayuela made his managerial debut with CD San Félix, a club he already represented as a player. He subsequently spent two decades managing lower league clubs in his native region.^[1]

In the 1992 summer Cayuela was appointed UD Almería manager, after a stint at Vélez CF. He was also in charge of the Rojiblancos in two further occasions (1995 and 1996), achieving promotion from Segunda División B in one of them and narrowly avoiding relegation from Segunda División in the other.

In June 1996 Cayuela was named manager of Málaga CF in the third level,^[2] being dismissed only five months after. He was also appointed at the helm of Polideportivo Almería in 1997, but stepped down due to health issues.
