Football career
After coaching several amateur teams in the Community of Madrid, whilst also working as a cook in his family business, Sandoval joined Rayo Vallecano B in early 2007, taking the club to runner-up honours in the Copa Federación de España the following year and achieving promotion to Segunda División B for the first time in its history in 2010. For the 2010–11 season he was appointed manager of the first team, helping them return to La Liga after an absence of eight years and being awarded the Miguel Muñoz Trophy as best manager in Segunda División in the process.
On 18 October 2012, Sandoval returned to the second level after being appointed at Sporting de Gijón, replacing fired Manolo Sánchez. He was relieved of his duties on 4 May 2014, with the team in seventh position in the second division.
On 1 May 2015, Sandoval took charge of Granada CF until the end of the campaign. He managed to collect ten points in only four games, helping the side finally avoid relegation as 17th.
On 22 February 2016, Sandoval was dismissed after losing 1–2 at home to Valencia CF the day before, and was replaced by José González.
