José Luis Senobua GarcÃÂa (born 16 September 1978), commonly known as Sena, is a football manager and former player who is currently managing CD Huércal youth team. He played as a midfielder and spent most of his playing career in Tercera División clubs. Born and raised in Spain to an Equatoguinean father and a Spanish mother, he capped for the Equatorial Guinea national team.
Born in AlmerÃÂa, Andalusia, Sena finished his formation in Los Molinos CF's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with UD AlmerÃÂa B, playing several seasons in the regional leagues. On 25 January 1997, aged only 18, he made his first team debut, starting in a 1âÂÂ1 away draw against UD Las Palmas in the Segunda División.
Sena alternated between both reserve and main squads during his spell, only appearing regularly with the latter in the 2000âÂÂ01 campaign, in Segunda División B. He subsequently resumed his career appearing mainly in the fourth level but also in the regional leagues, representing CD Roquetas, AD Mar Menor-San Javier, Mármol Macael CD, Pinatar CF, UD Villa de Santa BrÃÂgida, CD Zuera, CD Teruel, AD Comarca de NÃÂjar and AD Adra, retiring with the latter in 2007.
Sena was called to the Spanish U-18 national team, although he never got to make debut in an official match. As his father is a Bubi from Malabo, in 2003, he was called up to the Equatorial Guinea national team, along with several other Spanish-born players of Equatoguinean descent.
He made his debut in a 0âÂÂ1 loss against Morocco at the 2004 African Cup of Nations qualifiers on 6 July 2003. This was his only appearance in the national team.
Sena's cousin Kike, is also a footballer. A forward, he too was groomed at AlmerÃÂa's youth system.
