Manuel Jesús Ortiz Toribio (born 22 August 1984), known as Lolo, is a Spanish former professional footballer. A versatile defensive unit, he could play as both a central defender or defensive midfielder.

Club career[edit]

Born in Huelva, Lolo was a product of Sevilla FC's youth system. In the 2002–03 season he started playing as a senior with their reserves in the Segunda División B, scoring a decisive goal against Burgos CF which led to a promotion to Segunda División in 2007.[1]

Lolo made his La Liga debut the following campaign, appearing in two matches in March 2008, the first being on the 1st in a 2–1 away loss to Deportivo de La Coruña.[2] Earlier, in December, he had made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League, playing the entire match in a 3–0 group stage victory at SK Slavia Prague.[3] However, he spent the majority of the season with the reserves, being a defensive stalwart for the Andalusians whom retained their league status.

Lolo was loaned to neighbours Málaga CF for 2008–09,[4][5] spending most of the season as defensive midfielder[6] and scoring home deciders against Real Valladolid (2–1)[7] and Sporting de Gijón (1–0).[8] In October 2009, already established in Sevilla's first team, he signed a new contract until June 2011.[9] He scored his first goal as a Sevillista on 10 April 2010, in the 84th minute of a 2–1 win at former club Málaga.[10]

After being deemed surplus to requirements at Sevilla, Lolo joined fellow top-flight side CA Osasuna on a four-year deal, in late August 2010.[11] In his debut campaign, in which the Navarrese narrowly avoided relegation, he was used mainly as a central defender while also starting regularly, and also contributed goals against Hércules CF (3–0, at home)[12] and RCD Espanyol (4–0, also at home).[13]

On 19 January 2018, after stints in his country with Real Zaragoza[14] and Elche CF (second tier)[15] and Hércules (third),[16] 33-year-old Lolo moved abroad for the first time in his career with Indian Super League club FC Pune City.[17] He retired later that year.

In 2021, Lolo joined Bodø-based IK Junkeren's coaching staff, with his compatriot José Isidoro being in charge of the academy and his wife Tamara Carrillo also working there.[18][19]
