Career
=Early career=
Madrid-born Sandoval played in the youth sides of Real Madrid for a short period, but had to join CD Humanes as his parents could not take him to trainings. He later represented CD Ciempozuelos, but had to retire at the age of 18 due to a knee injury.
After retiring, Sandoval worked as a cook in his family business while studying to become a manager,{{cite news|url=http://www.marca.com/2011/09/23/futbol/equipos/rayo/1316808855.html|title=Sandoval, de la tierra a la alfombra del Bernabéu|trans-title=Sandoval, from the dirt to Bernabéu's carpet|newspaper=Marca|first=Emilio|last=Contreras|language=es|date=24 September 2011|access-date=26 December 2012}} and later moved to another family business while coaching his former side Humanes.{{cite news|url=http://www.noticiasdenavarra.com/2012/04/06/osasuna/sandoval-cocinero-antes-que-entrenador|title=Sandoval: Cocinero antes que entrenador|trans-title=Sandoval: Cook before coach|newspaper=Noticias de Navarra|first=Mikel|last=Recalde|language=es|date=6 April 2012|access-date=26 December 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130130015337/http://www.noticiasdenavarra.com/2012/04/06/osasuna/sandoval-cocinero-antes-que-entrenador|archive-date=30 January 2013}} He subsequently led AD Parla to a promotion to Tercera División before returning to Humanes in 2001.
