Playing career

Preciado appeared in 59 La Liga matches for local Racing de Santander, split between three of his five-season spell with the club. His best-ever in the top flight was 32 games in 1978–79, which ended in relegation.

After three years in Segunda División (two of them with Linares CF), Preciado resumed his career in the lower leagues, eventually retiring in 1992 with lowly Cantabrian outfit Gimnástica de Torrelavega, at nearly 35.

Coaching career

Preciado took up coaching in the mid-90s, precisely with his last club. He led Gimnástica to the Tercera División championship (group 1). Being then recalled to Racing with its B-squad, another promotion to Segunda División B befell, now in 2002.

Preciado was called for first team coaching duties in 2002–03's top flight, helping the side retain its status in his 18 games in charge. After second division spells with Levante UD - with promotion - and Real Murcia, he returned to Santander; although the club finished just one point above the relegation zone, it managed a 2–1 win at Real Madrid, on 21 December 2005.

In the 2006 summer, Preciado switched to Sporting de Gijón. In his second season, he managed to lead the Asturias outfit to the top division after ten years, then maintain its league status, with the lowest budget of all 20 teams, after a 2–1 home win against Recreativo de Huelva, in the last round, on 31 May 2009.

Preciado again led Sporting into safety in the 2009–10 season (15th place). In November 2010, after resting almost his entire starting XI for a match against FC Barcelona two months earlier (eventually losing 0–1 away), he was accused by Real Madrid manager José Mourinho of throwing the match, and responded by calling the Portuguese a "bad colleague" and a "scumbag". After the war of words, the two teams met at the El Molinón on the 14th, with the visitors winning it 1–0;[1] on 2 April 2011, at the Santiago Bernabéu, Sporting won by the same scoreline, becoming the first team in nine years to defeat Mourinho in a league match at home,[2] with Preciado later commenting that "Mourinho entered our dressing room and congratulated us".[3]

Personal

In 2002, Preciado's wife died from cancer. Two years later, his 15-year old son (one of two the couple had) was killed in a car crash. Preciado later claimed about the incidents: "I could have shot myself or I could have carried on".[1]

On 20 April 2011, his father, also named Manuel, died after being run over in Santander.[4]
