Football career

Ruiz made his professional debuts with Atlético Madrid, in 1977. From 1979–80 onwards, he was an essential defensive unit for the Spanish capital outfit, rarely missing a La Liga match when healthy, and helping his main club to two major titles. He was part of the team that reached the final of the 1986 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, appearing in the decisive match against FC Dynamo Kyiv (0–3 loss).

In the 1987 summer, Ruiz joined CD Málaga in the second level, alongside Atlético teammate Clemente, going on to experience both one La Liga promotion and relegation with the Andalusians. He retired in 1991 at the age of 36, after contributing with only one game to Albacete Balompié's first-ever promotion to the top flight.

Subsequently, Ruiz worked as general manager with Atlético Madrid, Valencia CF, CD Tenerife and Albacete. In late November 2009, he left his post at the latter club, who was facing severe economic difficulties.[1]
